Spokane is the best city. They get to blow up squirrels.

I had a good laugh when I read this article in today’s paper: Spokane parks to detonate squirrels

I’m thinking this is a opportunity for a biathlon type event where you search out the tunnels by MUni, the one with the most kills by the end of the day wins!

Jesus f*cking Christ…

seriously… what the f*ck?

You realise of course, that this means war.

That’s just nuts.

Sorry, couldn’t resist:o

I don’t quite see the logic in how invoking a higher power in a profane manner helps the squirrels.

You are correct here: those squirrels are screwed with a capital F.

I think they’re going to need more than armor. Those exterminators and city counsel members better secure their crawl spaces or else those squirrels may do the same to their houses.

I really love that quirp: “but in a humane way”. All the rest is not so nice.

Enough with the sympathy. Squirrels are fecking rodents, like mice and rats. Just because they have cute pointy ears and a fluffy tail doesn’t make 'em any nicer. A world without squirrels would be a fine world to me.

Those little bastages and their cousins do nothing but chew holes in my backpack whenever I go hiking or climbing. They run through camp all hours of the day, jump into the bear box when no one’s looking and tear open the plastic bags of food and leave a mess. They’ve never done anyone any good.

I say string the tyrants up by their noses and beat 'em like pinatas until they stop squeaking!

It happens (not for kids)

I didn’t say that swearing would fix the problem…
That was me expressing my shock, belwilderment and disgust for the whole matter.

Sorry for my lack of elequance.

But Jason,

they’re so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!

If my government ever decides to blow me up, I hope they will choose to do it in a humane way also. :roll_eyes:

Ahhh, this is sad! I’ve become really attached to squirrels in general since I started living on a big college campus. They’re really friendly and personable here! :frowning:

Their friendly and all here too, but too many of them, and now its mating season, means the ground just gets ripped apart and holes all over, people tripping. Blood everywhere, children cry as they are separated from their families. Oh its horrible! I still have nightmares from last year… poor, poor Jimmy…

At least the little fellas will be used as fertilizer as their bodies rot in their collapsed tunnels.

Spokane is fun. :slight_smile:

I’m still pissed that sledding is now illegal in the parks…

now we’re leading squirrel genocides too…

I prefer to use a recurve bow and razor-tipped arrows, but blowing them up is fine, too.

The only thing I don’t like about this is how they have absolutely no chance of survival. At least if I’m hunting them it’s sort of a 50/50 thing. 50% chance they get to eat another nut, 50% chance I get to eat them.

Are you that bad a shot? ;):smiley:

Squirrels are retarded.

Hmm. It’s difficult to detect sarcasm from text.

Anyways, it’s sometimes more like 90% chance they get away. Reasons:

1. I use a standard recurve bow, not one of those high-tech compound bows.

2. I don’t use sights. Period.

3. I’m usually at a distance of 80-100 feet.

4. Squirrels are tiny.

Compound pets hair on your chest.

I think they would call it squirrel cleansing, not genocide. :slight_smile:

I was hoping the dual-smiley thing would help you see my post as sarcasm, but i guess it didn’t. :astonished:
