When I shot the squirrels with the pellet gun using the hunting pellets (domed head) they made a nice blood-red shower onto the white snow below...They were in a tree, so it was kind of cool to see the body and blood splatter on the ground.

(does his best impression of the godfather)Hey man, you messin' with my morals?
Anyway, I don't make the world a worse place, I just make it a less squirrell-ful world, they dig up my yard, they are as good as dead, I *Try* not to kill them, I don't kill their babies, and I don't kill them when they are taking care of their babies, I am tired of my roof leaking because of squirrells nesting in our roof and chewing up the insilation, and I am tired of paying for new mower blades every time I get a wheel of my mower stuck in a hole one has dug up. I purposely don't kill squirrells, or geese, I just injure them very badly so that they get scared away from my house. Now if you want a sick son of a bi(zno)tch
go find chord, I saw him put four pencils through his arm before, just because he was bored, and then pulled them right out like it was nothing. and one time he threw a bagful of rat poison into this guy we know's swimming pool, just so he wouldn't be able to use his swimming pool for a month, the poor guy ended up in the hopsital for a severe eye infection because of it. that bastard will eat glass any day and smile at you with blood dripping out of his mouth, then laugh as it shreds his intestines. Chord is one crazy mother fudger, we had to pull a cue ball out of his throat once because we bet him 5 bucks he couldn't swallow it...

MORAL OF THIS POST: Don't swallow things that are bigger than your throat.

I'm still laughing about interpreting Terl's first post where he gets beaten down by geese in a pool hall - that's pretty sad in itself...

A lot of people give you 'hickeys', eh? :)

Ok, ok, that was silly... but seriously, I too had been an early victim when living in Georgia - note I said 'had'. Became friends with a neighber who built industrial powered lasers. After becoming violently-minded towards one hick who kept driving through my front yard bacause he thought it was fun (causing quite a lot of property damage), I had a long conversation with my laser-neighbor... Ford F150 pick-up trucks look funny as swiss cheese...

About the squirrels and geese: odds are those guys were there first. And the geese are not attacking purely out of mean-ness (couldn`t blame them if they were though), but most likely out of a protective instinct - you get too close you run a risk (I have been attacked by geese, only to discover that there was a nest nearby).

Usually I find that the 'Funniest Home Videos', 'Worlds Stupidest People', and the like are best when animals are attacking people - considering what we have done to animals over the centuries, it's only fair...

lol, sympathy is not what I ask of you, that post was only to say that i was pissed and let BYOND know what was going on in my world, I hate squirrells, but I refuse to kill them unless they tear up my 'territory' They don't even belong in kansas anyway, they were introduced a few hundred years ago, and are killing all of our natrual wildlife, squirrells invade the nests of bluejays, cardinals, and mockingbirds, then throw the eggs out of them, and use the nests as their own, and then when it gets too cold to use that nest, they destroy our roof, and nest in the insilation. If you want maliscious, talk to 'endangered species hunter man' up there a few posts back, our geese are the dumb kind that should be flying off to north dakota right now, but are too dumb to do so.

Les, my paintball gun gets more use of people who live near me than it does animals, about twice per spring, i break it out and but some fear into the squirrell's hearts, now I never said I killed them, I don't hang their tails on my wall and marvel in the blood they leave on the ground, I only knock them out of the tree and give them a big bright blue mark on their asses to remind them not to mess with my yard, Crows are a diferent story, I will kill crows, my fovorite backyard pests, rabbits, have at least a dozen holes back there, crows eat baby rabbits, I just protect those baby rabbits, you see, my cat thinks she is a rabbit, Chord raised her with my old rabbit in the same cage. she won't kill rabbits, in fact, she likes to snuggle up with rabbits more than humans, but you see, she can kick some crow tailfeather, actually this is not my cat, I have her for the summer while Chord is out, I don't see why he loves this cat so much if he can't touch her without getting pink a puffy, why have a cat if you are allergic to him? The cat injures/kills/chases away all crows, oh and les, I do feel sympathy for everything I kill, as a matter of fact, I bury everything I kill, and hope it's next life has a more fortunate ending.

And I never said geese kick my ass in pool halls, it those damn rednecks, just as bad. Now if you want bad beating problems, Chord got the crap beaten out of him by the mailman for his bad-hiding-places while sniping with paintballs...
