    Can you find a connection between gay males, foxes and Nazis, and who is it that I have left out? (Only one item omitted...)

    Question #120254. Asked by Baloo55th. (Feb 07 11 11:32 AM)

    Ernst Rohm was a gay man and an important Nazi until his betrayal in 1934.

    But no foxes... Nazis is plural, too. Nice try, though.

    I'll be happy to add incorrectly that they're connected by the word "wolf". Wolf is a term for a gay male, the fox and the wolf are from the same taxonomic family Canidae, and Nazis who found themselves underwater hunted in wolf packs. One could also incorrectly correlate the words Vixen, Reynard, Pole, Storm trooper, Heil, and Judy Garland.

    No wolves involved with the missing item, so far as I am aware. First time I've heard 'wolf' for a gay male. I know some of them are 'bears' (and regard that use as an insult to real bears). (Baloo has a tenuous connection with wolves in that a younger cousin in the States keeps wolves, and his mother had to evict some people who had wolves from her basement, where they were living. Too much mess, she said. She was quite happy with the wolves, who were quite polite and tidy. It was the humans that were messy and a nuisance.)

    It's a British connection.... (In the above post it was the younger cousin's mother not Baloo's. Baloo has slapped his wrist.)

    Not doing well here - the question should read "who is it that I have left out". The foxes are real foxes (and presumably not gay or Nazi). The gay males may be Nazis if they wish, and vice versa. The item missing from the list may include gay males, but is very unlikely to include Nazis and cannot include foxes but does include a Fox. (Baloo's clues are worse than his questions. Thought I'd get that in before anyone else did.)

    Peasy, (albeit slightly seedy after trying to decipher that muddle) did notice the capital F on that last fox....was that intentional?

    Baloo55th

    Yes. A Fox is definitely in the missing item. (Carefully worded...)

    OK. There are hares involved too along with the foxes, but possibly not with the Fox. No, there doesn't seem to be a Hare.

    It was good news for the gay males and foxes (and hares), bad news for the Nazis, and no-one really cares about the other item or even knows who they are most of the time, or (probably) understands how this works. I don't know who mine is. (Probably mutual, but that's not relevant.)

    peasypod

    Oh, dear. Peasy is restraining from cross-dressing bunny jokes, she really is, but, nevertheless has to plonk this out there. Just because it HAS foxes, rabbits, Nazi involvement and the fact we don't 'know' what Baloo is talking about with his other item he doesn't know.....

    sigh.

    LOL I was wondering about war propaganda movies, but what does Baloo know about movies? He probably doesn't know who his fairy godmother is, either, nor she he. And fairies could be gay males. Then again, a gay male could just be a merry old soul like Old King Cole. Or a dashing fox hunter.

    So, anyway, this is interesting:
    "Cartoon in which a fox threatens a family of hares only to be strafed in turn by wasps of the Luftwaffe."

    The movie is called "Der Störenfried," which, meaning "The Troublemaker," nicely describes this question.

    The gay males are of the LBGT variety, and the foxes don't ride bikes, though they may well eat bunnies. Every full UK citizen resident in the EU has one of the missing item, as have their equivalents in the rest of the EU. (These are shared, of course - it's not one for one.) They can be found in one of Wikipedia's ubiquitous Lists of things, but most people just ignore them for years at a time. Some people know who they are and get worked up about them. Finally, all these items are totally separate in terms of the question apart from this link. Qp has something in her post that is possibly promising, but unlike the gays and foxes and hares (if they knew about this), not happy.

    PS Baloo doesn't know his fairy godmother, but she must know who he is - she couldn't be his fairy godmother if she didn't.

    Maybe some kind of quango. But they could almost be fairy godmothers if they magically make things appear.

    But not the missing item which is, very definitely, higher than a quango as well... No magic involved anywhere. In an above post, there might be the impression that the gays didn't know about what happened - they did and had been fighting for it. It was the foxes etc that the bracketed comment applied to. They had a change of life as a result of what happened concerning them, but wouldn't really notice (although I don't think they've been polled about it...). Some people weren't happy about it, though.... There were a couple or so of other items earlier, but that was before the revised version that's being looked for here. (No, nothing to do with King James etc - this is purely secular.)

    Higher than a quango? I started with MP's, but was sure Baloo knows who his is, even if he doesn't know who Baloo is. Surely, then, it's some governmental official in the Byzantine (sorry) British jurisdictions.

    And this list doesn't even include ridings!
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_articles_about_local_government_in_the_United_Kingdom

    Now this is interesting, even if not on target: the poor Brits stationed in Germany weren't allowed to hunt with dogs. "Even the Nazis" outlawed that cruel sport.

    I do know who my MP is, but you're in the right area of thinking. (Actually, his local office do know me too and seem to have got my message at last. Things got quite acrimonious...) You're on the scent in another part of your post, too...

    Feb 22 11, 3:31 PM
    Baloo55th

    The three items named are separate happenings both in time and application, but there is one thread connecting them, and also to the fourth unnamed one. Theoretically, a large number of dogs would have become redundant through one happening, but not the drag hounds (which don't go around in little dresses and wigs and don't belong to the gay males - no law or rule against it then or now - they just tend to move on different tracks...).

    That pesky Parliament Act of 1949.

    S'pose this should be added too.

    And the missing item is? (For completeness...)

    would missing item be British elections?

    The missing item (For completeness, mind you...) is the European Parliament.
    http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/laws/parliamentacts/

    Ashley Fox is a member of the European Parliament for English constituencies. That'd be Baloo. Except Fox doesn't represent his district. A hare doesn't either, but a her does. Jacqueline.

    Yays all round, with two !!s for Peasy. Thanks, Qp - at least I now know who my MEP isn't. The four items were (missing) the election system for election of MEPs, the banning of hunting and coursing with dogs (I think you are still allowed to run after hares on your own feet...), the matching of the gay male age of consent with the other ages of consent, and something to do with Nazis in the UK (you'll have to look it up). These are the only things (so far) that the Parliament Act (1949) has been used in. (There was an earlier Act, but that wouldn't have given four as the number of items.)
