GABRIEL KNIGHT: CURSE OF THE WERECHEETAH, PART 3

Gabriel was ECSTATIC! He had heard of Laura Bow, the INFAMOUS reporter. “Ms. Bow. I’m honored. What brings you to the middle of this SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS swamp?”

“Looking for the same thing you are, I suspect,” she said GINGERLY. “I know about the werecheetah and I know how to defeat it. The cheetah’s curse is held inside a COMB. You must find it and destroy it. Its lair is not far from here, but I am too old to be of any help.”

Gabriel followed Laura’s directions deeper into the swamp and came across an old, ATROCIOUS shack. Gabriel HAUNTINGLY entered the shack. Animal bones were strewn all around. Gabriel nearly DISCO DANCED from the overpowering stench. At the end of the room was an altar with the object he was looking for. Just then, the werecheetah entered the shack. “ORANGE YOU GLAD I DIDN'T SAY BANANA!” the creature snarled. Gabriel took out his talisman which glowed ORANGE and repelled the creature. He then touched the talisman to the COMB, destroying it.

The werecheetah reverted into a man. “YOU'RE A CHEETAH! I MEAN, CHEATER!” he said INDUBITABLY. “You and me both, pal,” replied Gabriel. The man told Gabriel that he found the COMB some months before and became cursed when he read the incantation: PIE JESU DOMINE ... *THWACK-ON-THE-HEAD-WITH-A-PIECE-OF-WOOD* DONA EIS REQUIEM ... *THWACK*. “Well, it’s all over now. Let’s just hope there’s no such thing as a wereCHEETAH.”

THE END

Holy fark. Wait - Was Werecheetah a thing before?
Probably because of me.

Cheetahs are my favorite form of (living) felines. (Previously it'd be the saber-tooth tiger)
And this time I saw the expression and figured I'd use "Cheetah" for an animal and this one and make the lame "You're a cheetah! I mean, cheater!" pun.

That's funny.

And this madlib even makes sense! Well, kinda.

I think it's your turn to create a madlib, Tawm.

Yes. An animal was one of the Mad Lib words in Part 1 and I carried it through. That may have been you.

BTW, I was curious what a cat's scientific name was. I looked it up in wikipedia and found that it's Felis Catus. Catus? Seriously? Was someone being lazy in the scientific-naming department?

Now I wonder what a dog's name is. *looks it up* Canis lupus familiaris ... well, "Canis" is dog, "Lupus" is wolf, and "familiaris" means "family". I guess that makes them "a wolf-dog who's one of the family" (as opposed to wolves)? What do you reckon?

Scientific names are in Latin (with a few modern exceptions where a name or place is used and "latinized"). The domestic cat was named by Carl Linnaeus who created the system. Felis is, of course, Latin for "cat". I had to look this up (https://pictures-of-cats.org/what-does- ... -mean.html), but catus means "crafty". I'm not sure if this is the word origin of "cat". In German it's "Katze" and I doubt that would have a Latin word origin.

I seem to remember dogs being Canis domesticus. I think it was changed relatively recently when they acknowledged that wolves and domesticated dogs are the same species.

Fair enough. Thank you, NBS! I've studied a little Latin (nowhere near enough to be an expert, of course), but I'm aware that scientific names for animals and plants are in Latin. I wasn't aware that catus was "crafty/clever", but it makes sense.

As for dogs - from the wiki article on dogs, the Taxonomy section: "In 1999, a study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) indicated that the domestic dog may have originated from the grey wolf... In the third edition of Mammal Species of the World published in 2005, the mammalogist W. Christopher Wozencraft listed under the wolf Canis lupus its wild subspecies and proposed two additional subspecies, which formed the domestic dog clade: familiaris, as named by Linneaus in 1758, and dingo named by Meyer in 1793... Wozencraft referred to the mtDNA study as one of the guides informing his decision."

From dogs I started looking at late Pleistocene wolves, dire wolves, the period they lived in and the megafauna they lived with ... fascinating!

Leisure Suit Larry IV: Larry Laffer In the Case Of The Missing [DISKS]

Larry awakes from his bed, and sees his beautiful woman, Passionate Patti, standing outside observing the [IVORY] [CHEETAH ... PYGMY MARMOSET] from their porch.

She saw him wake up and asked, "[HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK, IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD?]?"

Larry stretched and yawned. He blinked several times, staring at her beautiful figure through the transparent dress, which showed her gorgeous body that reminded him of a well oiled [APPLE]. "Every time I see those," he slid out of bed, "it makes me want to shout '[BY LUCIFER'S BEARD!!]!'"

Patti laughed and embraced Larry and said, "You're so weird. But I love you, because you're my [SLIPPERY] [NOTACHEETAH CAT]!"

She kissed him deeply and said, "Well, I have to go to work at the piano bar. I'll see you when I come back. Are you still meeting up with [MAX POWER]?"

"Yeah," Larry sighed. "There's something important they want to go over..."

TO BE CONTINUED?

Rath.

Are you sure you're not cheating?

Crazy that I did Larry IV - and you put "DISKS" - even PLURAL! Which was what Al Lowe always joked was the name of LSLIV.
