I wonder how the tracker 🧌orc would have fared...

I am sure there are ways that Special Forces and the like deal with this kind of... stuff.

I have it on reasonably good authority that special forces and snipers (who must sometimes remain in place for days) use cat litter. Astronauts use diapers: that was documented when one went off the deep end and wore a diaper to drive several hundred miles.

Alcuin, I remember that. She was definitely off the deep end; they do have rest stops all along every major highway here in the US. Diapers are needed only if you're being overly dramatic...

Bill the pony


... meanwhile Grendel: do not forget that even a nice animal like Bill the pony has a pride of his own:

[...] the ruffian [...]. As he passed the ponies one of them let fly with his heels and just caught him as he ran. He went off with a yelp into the night and was never heard of again.​

‘Neat work, Bill,’ said Sam, meaning the pony.​

So if Bill could see your original accusation, I'm confident he would have dropped something over it. 😆

Ah well, I meant no offense to ol' Bill; he is what he is, as Eru made him. But I have marched in numerous parades in my day, often behind the horses, so I know of what I speak.

Yeah. I’ve marched behind horses and mules, too. As the saying goes, I follow you – and hope no one slips!
