The more I look at this scenario, the more I want to see it in real life.

**The Franchise** · 07-23-2018, 09:27 AM

Someone is going to end up killing themselves in this match.

Digger's first axe swing has to be at the dog or he's toast. He won't be able to swing twice on ice skates, Pennywise wins

**luv** · 07-23-2018, 09:40 AM

Is the angry pit bull comfortable with Pennywise? If not, I'd say he's 100% toast. I'm saying he's toast either way, though.

**digger** · 07-23-2018, 09:43 AM

Pitbull on ice will pull Pennywise down, Axe for the win.

The last time this one came up, the pit bull is trained to obey the commands of the person it is attached to.

This might have changed my vote, but oh well.

Yep. The pit bull is trained to obey whoever is holding its leash.

My left eye is stronger than my right. No worries.

That's all well and good, but have you ever seen a dog on ice?

He's gonna be dragging a big damn terrified dog around. Really, it's a coin flip as to which guy kills himself first, but that dog is such a massive problem for the guy stuck with it that I'm going with Digger.

Growing up I was always more of a twin dagger, dual-wielded sword kind of guy, but the older I get the more I see the appeal in the battle axe.

Like, if I was transported to some gladiatorial arena and there's a wall with every known medieval weapon for my taking, I think I'd probably grab a katana or a battle axe at this point. Come out swinging like one of my Viking ancestors.
