Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

I hate to say this, but I do brake for those little devils. However, there are some drivers that are around where I have my home up north, that will do all they can to run them over.

They are so lucky I wasn't in my car when this happened: There is a chestnut tree in front of my parent's house, and when the chestnuts fall off the tree, they are encased in this green, spiky shell. When I still lived there, I jogged across the lawn barefoot one time to berate the recycling man for not taking my stuff (the second week in a row, that's another rant) and one of those &%$#@ things impaled my foot! The little creeps are supposed to eat those, not leave them there to cause me excessive bloodshed!!

I'm trying to decide if it would be better to not brake, and contribute to the evolutionary process of eliminating the dumb ones from the gene pool, or if it would be better to brake to save their lives since the darn things are too smart already.

My father advocates the former ("They're overpopulated anyway") and I wrestle with the latter. There is a considerable amount of evil cooked up in those furballs' pea brains. I'm not certain they do die under car tires, I think they rise again to exact their revenge.

Oh yes, especially if you're like me and have a penchant for shoes that cost as much as LMH2's wife's hair costs lol

Hahaha! Actually, most of the shoes or boots I own have had some hefty price tags to them. My Wife maybe owns 40 pairs of shoes in total. I perhaps own closer to 200 pairs. I have been trying to sell off some that I just do not ever wear, but so far not much action in selling any of them.

The chesnut situation is all over where I am at in my downstate home right now, and it seems the critters are not paying too much attention to packing them up for winter storage! But there are those little "spinner" seeds all over and it appears the "tree terrorist" prefer them to anything else!

You see, they give the appearance of no common sense by not storing the larger chestnuts, but they're actually plotting by leaving them dangerously lying around. 'Round here, they're more interested in the abundant acorns. Those little so-and-sos...

Squirrels don't bother me in the slightest; I run them right over without a thought. It's deer that are the pain in the a$$.

I would trade praying mantis' anyday for the bleepin' squirrels. We are overrun with the beggars. If anyone remembers that Geico commercial with the squirrel running in front of the car, making it swerve, and then giving props to his hell raising squirrel buddy, BELIEVE IT. Every day those fuzzy mongrels see my car approaching and proceed to dash out in front of it. A few weeks ago, one dashed out and *sat there*. No amount of honking or revving the engine would make it move, but when I got out of the car, it ran for the hills. Don't they have any common sense? Don't they know a 4000lb vehicle will do more damage to it than I could??

Wait, so you're saying you don't like squirrels? Hah!

4,000 pound vehicle? What do you drive? My 61 is only 3500 and it's bigger than a lot of cars.

For some reason I thought it was the female Praying Mantis that we usually see (the males having been "done-in" after their job was done).

Hey, I don't claim to know the problems of anybodys life. Maybe they're unhappy they can't find a female to eat them alive. I have some friends who've lined up for this themselves.

We have something far worse. They're called birds...and what comes along with them...
The little old lady that lives next door decided they were so cute she must put out a maze of feeders for each and every known type that flies. Now they flock and roost in my bushes and trees. When I walk out the back door..they scatter in droves...of course marking their escape. HATE EM..!

From my midwestern remembrances - worse than birds is birds + mulberry trees. No parked car is safe.

The best is going outside to your car in the morning and seeing the rapid fire assault of bird diarrhea on the roof and windsheild.

A couple years ago..I had hope. My Son and I pulled into the driveway..and a young huge RedTail hawk was sitting on our privacy fence. Now THAT'S a cool bird! Shortly after that I walked out the french doors and he swooped widewinged through the back yard on the hunt(scared me to death)! He seems to stake out the flocks and give chase. However...I got to figuring...he'd need to grab about 50 a day to even put a dent in the little seed eating bastards....

I wouldn't worry about the praying mantis. I see those sometimes. But six? Were they smoking little cigarettes and wearing fedoras? Maybe they just meet there to talk about their wives.

lol no, but I'd like to see that

Yes, they just wanted to see you get out of the car

 

[rue]

No...I think you would have an angel wearing a fedora instead of the halo. You are far too nice for anything less.

Amen to that

These aren't very big so they could be male babies?

Ah yes, High Anxiety. I'd be pretty pissed if that happened. It's not like the birds are gonna foot the dry cleaning bill.
