Get the batten down the hatches mug.New RPG for Game Cube. Beautiful graphics. Fun and unique game-play for a change. BUT TERRIBLE, and I mean TERRIBLE voice acting. It is highly recommended you turn off the voice option the second you start this game up. ;)

The Basenji is a small, short haired hunting dog from Africa. It is short backed and lightly built, appearing high on the leg compared to its length. The wrinkled head is proudly carried on a well arched neck and the tail is set high and curled. Elegant and graceful, the whole demeanor is one of poise and inquiring alertness. The balanced structure and the smooth musculature enables it to move with ease and agility. The Basenji hunts by both sight and scent. Characteristics--The Basenji should not bark but is not mute. The wrinkled forehead, tightly curled tail and swift, effortless gait (resembling a racehorse trotting full out) are typical of the breed.
Ideal height for dogs is 17 inches and bitches 16 inches. Dogs 17 inches and bitches 16 inches from front of chest to point of buttocks. Approximate weight for dogs, 24 pounds and bitches, 22 pounds. Lightly built within this height to weight ratio.
The head is proudly carried. Eyes--Dark hazel to dark brown, almond shaped, obliquely set and farseeing.
Wrinkles appear upon the forehead when ears are erect, and are fine and profuse. Side wrinkles are desirable, but should never be exaggerated into dewlap.
Neck of good length, well crested and slightly full at base of throat. Well set into shoulders. Topline--Back level. Body--Balanced with a short back, short coupled and ending in a definite waist. Ribs moderately sprung, deep to elbows and oval. Slight forechest in front of point of shoulder. Chest of medium width. Tail is set high on topline, bends acutely forward and lies well curled over to either side.
Coat short and fine. Skin very pliant.
Color--Chestnut red; pure black; tricolor (pure black and chestnut red); or brindle (black stripes on a background of chestnut red); all with white feet, chest and tail tip. White legs, blaze and collar optional. The amount of white should never predominate over primary color. Color and markings should be rich, clear and well-defined, with a distinct line of demarcation between the black and red of tricolors and the stripes of brindles.
An intelligent, independent, but affectionate and alert breed. Can be aloof with strangers. ..partial AKC standard

Regardless of sexual preference, all batsexuals are tolerant of each other, and when coming across a fellow batsexual, a series of "DUDE!"s and high-fives ensue.

1. When Hank and Charlie met at the party, it was awkward until they discovered they were both batsexuals. The rest of the night was spent arguing about who was a better Caped Crusader; George Clooney or Christian Bale.
2. The other night, I hosted a six hour long movie marathon with all of my batsexual friends.
