| Grasshopper on steps
Grasshopper says: Monkey attacks with big steps; Tiger attacks with little steps, Dragon attacks with big steps then little steps. |

| mrbiggs says: Monkeys are funny. Tigers are confused with cheetahs. Dragons are overused in fantasy novels.
mrbiggs says: Monkeys are small, and easy to steamroll. Tigers are yellow, the same color as a schoolbus. Dragons don't exist.
mrbiggs says: Monkeys have tails. Tigers don't. Dragons can breathe fire sometimes, depending on which fantasy novel you're reading.
mrbiggs says: maybe I'm missing something, but only one of your posts makes any sense.  | |

| Grasshopper speaks in many wisdoms. Monkey will lose. Tiger will do pretty well, and the will make the defender think that there's prep- and set the defender up for a parry-repost. Kudos to you- grasshopper

| whtouche agrees with mrbiggs assessment that only one of grasshoppers posts makes any sense.
whtouche inclined to think that may even be giving grasshopper too much credit.

| As a dragon, I take exception, as a water dragon, I think the Ocean comparison was more correct. Okay, the Buddha said, that one drop of water eventually makes it's way into the streams and all streams into the ocean, we are all in the Ocean of life and must try to find some way to get along with one another.
Running rules.

For heaven's sake, I know I'm not a weasel, and they actually inhabit the planet (as opposed to inhabiting the diseased minds of those who read too many fantasy novels...).
