    He's been called everything from a horrible kunt to a kiddie fiddler but never a 'shill'
    What the hell is a shill?

    From Wikipedia.

    A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services or a political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer. The intention of the shill is, using crowd psychology, to encourage others unaware of the set-up to purchase said goods or services or support the political group's ideological claims. Shills are often employed by confidence artists. In the UK the term plant is also used.
    Shilling is illegal in many circumstances and in many jurisdictions because of the frequently fraudulent and damaging character of their actions. However, if a shill does not place uninformed parties at a risk of loss, but merely generates "buzz", the shill's actions may be legal. For example, a person planted in an audience to laugh and applaud when appropriate (see "claque"), or to participate in on-stage activities as a "random member of the audience", is a type of legal shill.
    "Shill" can also be used pejoratively to describe a critic who appears either all-too-eager to heap glowing praise upon mediocre offerings, or who acts as an apologist for glaring flaws. In this sense, they would be an implicit "shill" for the industry at large, as their income is tied to its prosperity.
    BTW, Leo Rocks.

    Thumbs up

    Also from wikipedia.

    Legendary animals
    Legendary animals are those a traveler in an exotic place might hope or fear to meet: their descriptions are always presented within the conventions of realism that are accepted by their hearers, though the details might stretch credulity: the basilisk. They do not include mythical animals, like the sphinx or the Nemean lion. Some real animals have developed legends: the man-eating tigers of the Sundarbans, for instance, or blond spirit bears.

    No he didnt.
    Leo has no place in his heart for hate.

    Aslan he is not. Or Tashlan if, like me, you're geek enough to have read all the books.

    Also I saw a kid throwing a pebble at Leo last night to get his attention. Wouldn't be tolerated in Terryland lads. Shameful behaviour.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Dunno about that, he seems to be getting a lot of milage out of the same old routine.
