Guosim, ahhh, they are interesting. I noticed we didn't have a topic about them. And I wanted to talk about them.
So do any of you have a favorite Log-a-Log? I think my favorite would have to be the first Log-a-Log in Redwall.
Also, in Lord Brocktree they refer to Log-a-Log Grenn as a girl. Is she the only girl Log-a-Log?

I really liked the Log-a-log in Marlfox.

Log-a-Log

My favorite Log-a-log is the one in both Redwall and Mattimeo. I also like the one from the Long Patrol too.

I was never really a fan of the gousim. I always thought they were annoying, yet they were key to the success of the stories

Log-a-log Dandy Cloggs was cool!  I also like the Log-a-log in Rakkety Tam. :)  I don't like how the Guosim talk in the tv shows, though.  They seem a lot more annoying on tv than in the books.  I also don't like that they have about 3 outfits, and all of them wear one of the three outfits. :P

I assume we're speaking of Guosim the group, not Guosim the character.

As a group, I didn't find them as particularly necessary.  I always felt with otters in the stories, you had the natural water-animals already present to handle water travel.  Yeah, I smile when I hear "Logalogalogalogalog!" but as a group, I don't see how the shrews as a group, were much different than the Long Patrol or any other group of Redwallers.  The sense of difference with Guosim law (the pebble thing) was lost after the first few books.

Excuse me sah!

All the Log-A-Log have been great in all the books! :)

I like Log-a-log Grenn, and the Log-a-log in Marlfox. ;D
And, yeah, I think Grenn was the only female Log-a-log.

I quite like Log-A-Log Big Club. It was really funny when he whacked that newt on the tail and it fell off!
I won't be on this forum much anymore, but I'll pop in to say hi every now and then.

Me and my siblings have contest to see who can shout log-a-log the best. So we sound like:

"Logalogalogalog....."

I like the two little Guosim in the Sable Queen.
