[Misc] World's Hardest Creature XII - Nominations

[stewart12]

where are we at in terms of nominations and seconding?

 

[Mental Lental]

Can’t see if it’s been nominated yet but I’m nominating humans. We are not the strongest animals but the power of our brains mean we dominate the world. End of contest.

So start a World's CLEVEREST Creature competition then. Stick a single bang average 40 year old male naked into a cage fight with a Honey Badger with "2 enter, only 1 leaves" rules. And that guy will be bleeding to death from a bitten off scrotum within an hour. This is the World's HARDEST Creature competition FFS.

Is it possible to VETO a nomination?

 

[Mental Lental]

Better yet.....Let's have some preliminary rounds before the group stages to wean out the overly weak contenders. We'll drop a bang average 40 year old IT consultant stark bollock naked into the Amazon jungle to go up against one of THESE guys........

Winner goes through to the group stage.

(And I nominate the JAGUAR.)

 

[jimhigham]

Good evening and welcome. I'm joining you live from the Honey Badger's training camp and the little tyke looks hungry to get back into the game following last year's bruising final defeat.

There's just time for a run through of where we are on nominations so far so get your pens and papers ready.

Here's the list of those whose hardness credentials seem beyond doubt and who have safely secured passage to the group stage...

Tardigrade
Honey Badger
Toy Poodle (it's going to be a massacre)
Deathstalker Scorpion
Saltwater Crocodile
Stoat
Cassowary
Emperor Penguin
Cockroach
Naked Mole Rat
Grasshopper Mouse
Mantis Shrimp
King Cobra
Humans
Mongoose

Those awaiting a seconder are sat anxiously in the green room...

Seagull
Geogemma barossi
Wolverine
Strain 121
Great White Shark
Mouse
Dung Beetle
Tiger
Tasmanian Devil
Tarantula Hawk
Clistopyga crassicaudata
Bull Shark
Jaguar

Still no sign of the Polar Bear I see. What's keeping him? Has this giant of WHC fallen out of favour?

Also word on Brian Blessed. Sadly he's ineligible. I say sadly, as I have it on very good authority that he was almightily keen to take part. However, the WHC VAR panel has ruled him out on the basis that the competition does not allow for a single representative of an entire species. None of you have nominated Geoff the Honey Badger, have you? It simply doesn't work that way.

So with only 15 creatures assured of passage to the group stage it's looking like a very thin field this year. Could this allow some of the more unheralded entrants to get a look in this year?

Over to you folks...

 

[LlcoolJ]

Second the Jaguar.

But Blessed has been ROBBED of a guaranteed win here.

 

[The Clamp]

HERE. WE. GO.

I've been waiting for this for so long.

I give you...

The NAKED MOLE RAT.

It doesn't feel pain when injected with ACID.
Cancer? IMMUNE. No problem. NEXT.
Life span? up to 32 YEARS. For a f***ing rat! It DEFIES the biological ageing process.
Oxygen? Nah, you're alright. Don't need that. Just turns itself into a PLANT if there isn't enough available.

Loads more, and to top it all off, it is one ugly mother f***er.

This is the new people's champion. Let's get behind it and it can go all the way.

Plants need oxygen.

 

[Petee]

I'll second Wolverine, both Sharks and Tiger

 

[martin tyler]

2nd the wolverine saw one recently attacking another animal crazy little ****er

 

[Juan Albion]

Gutted that Geogemma barossi has had no seconder. Every other animal listed would DIE before even reaching barossi's digs.

 

[Surf's Up]

To be perfectly frank I now find the on-going existence of this so-called "competition" disheartening. There is, after all, only one, indisputable "world's hardest creature" and that, my friends, is the Honey Badger. Given that fact, why bother with this annual sherade where varying degrees of sleight of hand, disinformation, fake news and yes, just plain skullduggery, are brought to bear by persons "unknown" who exist in a twilight world of denial, fantasy and ignorance - all in order to try and prevent the Honey Badger from winning every year by a country mile and thus completely negating the "competition". For Pete's sake lets just call the whole thing off and give the Honey Badger the recognition and respect he/she so clearly deserves and crown him/her "The All-Time Worlds Hardest Creature"

Send your big boy on down, Surf.

Ok I’m in for some of this...seconded

 

[jimhigham]

Yes. Geogemma barossi in the hat. I haven't a clue why but a newcomer is always interesting.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Late nomination.

Bombadier Beetle

Beetles are generally pretty tough. Add to that an inbuilt chemical weapons factory that delivers an aerosol out of its it's ******** (sort of) of boiling toxic chemicals.

Evolution has weaponised a beetle


q
.....awaits does the obvious

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The Moon Bear

Took on 9 humans at once, was winning till they had to shoot it.

Whilst it looks lovable, this ain’t no care bear

second both of these

 

[jimhigham]

I'm perusing the state of nominations with just over a day to go. The Bombardier Beetle and Moon Bear have joined the elite club, making a total of 19 nominations so far.

Seagull, Wolverine, Strain 121, Mouse, Dung Beetle, Tiger, Tasmanian Devil, Tarantula Hawk, Clistopyga crassicaudata, Bull Shark and even the Great White Shark are all looking nervously looking at the clock, wondering whether or not their ship will come in.

But surely the take of WHC XII so far is those that have yet to even receive a nomination. Some WHC stalwarts appear have been deserted by their followers and some that made a splash last year seem to have returned to the anonymity from whence they came. Where's the Black Swallower? The Bobbit Worm is missing in action. The Cape Buffalo must be off on his holidays. The Black Mamba skulks in the shadows. The Bullet Ant, the Poison Dart Frog, the Grizzly Bear... where are you? The Polar Bear! The Polar Bear? Perhaps the stories are true and climate change has done for this doughty competitor.

The clock is ticking...

 

[jimhigham]

Seems I accidentally gave you all an extra day for nominations. Use it well. Chris is very angry at my incompetence.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

WTF?! No Polar Bear or Cape Buffalo?

Consider them nominated. Someone needs to second them. Sharpish.

People say the F.A cup died the day United chose not to enter. That will be nothin compared to this competition without the Polar Bear- the three time WHC champion Polar Bear - not being in the competition when he's eligible. Who cares if he's faded glory now, he's the mutha****ing Polar Bear. Second him you gutless wonders!!!!

Bah, not so tough. The polar bear is listed as vulnerable now. How can you be the hardest if you are vulnerable?
