If I shoot squirrels...

[Inchworm]

Poll question: If I shoot squirrels...

If I shoot squirrels eating from my bird feeder with dry pinto beans from a blow-dart gun, would I be evil?

Yay, my first poll! :D

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

1. First vote in your first poll!

2. You really should be kind to all creatures.

After all you are the one who put the temptation out there.

BTW I use squirrel proof feeders. It's more fun to watch 'em slide off and fall to the ground.

[Inchworm]

6. Thats my plan

I am kind to them though. I've been feeding them regular. Just wanted to make a poll and I knew this might spark some reaction :D

:hi:

11. My problem = the chipmunks keep running over my toes.

They're just so damn tame.
I know it's my own fault I've been feeding them since 1996, when we bought this old house.

3. Grrrrr....

:spank: :spank:

:mad:

[DS1]

5. What? It's just a beaning

:shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

7. It's ok

He doesn't realize what squirrel he's dealing with.

[Inchworm]

9. are you suggesting..

I shoot them with Kryptonite?

oh dear, you are so mean! :spank:

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

19. Not me!

[Inchworm]

22. I'm actually watching one now

finishing off the suet block. He's a little frustrated it seems, and not as "in" to it as yours.

:hi: :loveya:

[Inchworm]

8. I was wondering what it took to get a beating out of you

:D

I must remind you that you were the first to welcome me here and I have a crush on you. That being said.. more, more, more beatings! :loveya:

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

10. Well not if

You go around beating up all the fuzzy woodland creatures! I bet you would have been cheering on my cats stalking that tiny baby mouse in my basement last night! I bet you'd even think I was crazy for building a habitat for the toad in my garden and naming him JoJo. Wouldn't ya!

Yeah, I THOUGHT so...

I had you pegged from the get go...

Inchworm, indeed...you prolly would soak em in alcohol...

;)

[Inchworm]

14. Never! Oh noes!

well, sometimes...

I might have cheered a wee little bit for the cats. When you say stalking, do you mean they worked as a team to save you from the vicious rodent? :hide:

I made habitats for wrens! :)

I can't say I ever named a toad though. I bet he takes care of the bugs. Thats a cool thing making him a home in garden. JoJo is a lucky toad. If you decide you might take your chances kissing him and turning him into a prince, do not under any circumstances let him pee on you.

hmm, alcohol is on the way.. I'll start soaking soon :loveya:

:rofl:

[AWESOM-O]

12. Just watch out for these

[Inchworm]

15. Oh dear!

I thought I heard a funny buzz sound out there! I may need to keep windows closed in case they go on the offensive.

:D

[AWESOM-O]

17. I can only imagine what

"these aren't the nuts you're looking for" in a really high pitched voice sounds like.

[Inchworm]

18. :)

:rofl:

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

13. You'll shoot an eye out...

:P :hi:

[Inchworm]

16. Why is it that I see a man in a red suit

with his boot on my forehead pushing me down a slide?

:D

[nedbal]

20. There's not much meat on em, but they are good for appetizers

that's why I went with other

[Inchworm]

24. oops, you are the "other"

These pesky voting machines!

:D

[PVnRT]

21. Yes, you are WORSE THAN HITLER

Why don't you go put on your SS uniform, Nazi?

[Inchworm]

23. I take it you are the "other" vote?

:shrug:

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

25. My Hero!

Damned bushy tailed rats!

[Inchworm]

26. Well if the polls close at 7

They get a reprieve and less beans to eat according to exit polls. :D

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

27. I tried to vote twice

but the system wouldn't let me!

Say, this is a better system than Diebold!

[Inchworm]

32. thats my conclusion :)

:hi:

[cwydro]

29. oops I guess the polls have closed.

But I vote you might put an eye out!

[Inchworm]

31. I've decided to go with my original conscience

And figure another way. I was just playing and prodding for real solutions hehe.

:hi:

[Inchworm]

30. OK I sat out there with a beer studying...

2 questions...

How high can a squirrel jump?

Is there a food squirrels do not like that birds do?

I'm thinking of putting the feeder in question on a pole. With a baffle type dealy on bottom and a pointy slide on top.

The bell and suet is sort of rigged atm. I ain't putting much time into it until I solve squirrel issues.



:hi:

[cwydro]

33. I feed birds all the time too

but there are no squirrels down here.

My dad has fought the squirrel battle for years. I think you can buy feeders that are squirrel proof, but I hear they aren't...lol.

[Deja Q]

34. Only if you shoved them down the front of your pants afterward.

:wow:
