Hate squirels?

Okay... I have never mentioned this before, but I love writing and write whenever I can. One day While researching for something I ran accross the strangest website I have ever seen. It seems it is dedicated to hating squirels...lol. I am still trying to figure out if it is a joke, where they are secretly trying to conserve them, or if there is some hidden political agenda I am totally missing! There is even a section where people submit these hillbilly recipes for eating squirel! lol It is crazy! Anyone else run across some really weird sites?

oh no, they really hate them!! my grandparents are many years retired, live in fl, and have pretty much dedicated their lives to hating squirrels. they've spent thousands~ no really, THOUSANDS of dollars on squirrel-proofing their back yard, bird baths, and bird feeders to absolutely no avail. when i took the kids to visit i about had a nervous breakdown for fear they would touch one of the 10 or so electricly charged bird feeders or the electric mesh fence that goes around the entire back yard or the specially designed (they actually hired someone to make this for them!!) gutters and downspouts that are wired to shock anything that weighs over a 12 ounces. it doesn't work at all, they still have squirrels coming out their ears, but their main pastime is watching and photographing thw squirrels getting shocked!!! it's completely hysterical to hear one old fart yell to the other old fart "JACK JACK, COME QUICK!!! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE, AND THIS TIME HE'S BIG 'UN!!" last year in their christmas letter they included a picture of their latest scheme for keeping them away~ multiple pie pans on which they had pasted photographs they had taken of the squirrels being shocked!! for all i know that may have been their website!! roflol!

as for weird websites, i personally love ebaum's world (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/). it makes absolutely no sense at all, but it's hysterical. and subservient chicken (http://www.subservientchicken.com/) if you do nothing else today check out subservient chicken. it's a burger king promotion but it's just too funny. it's a guy in a chicken suit who does whatever you tell him too!! again, makes no sense whatsoever, but it's funny as heck!

In my hometown we have black squirrels (sp?) and I guess they are rare, so it is illegal to tease, injure or kill one. You can actually get arrested for it. LOL

Clarity, you are so funny! I would love to be in the mind of the squirels looking at those pie pans! LOL


ROFLPIMP>>>Maybe you should make a movie about this with your grandparents as the stars! lol


I have seen subvervient chicken...I went there one night after my sister sent me a link! It really creeped me out, I guess because it was night time. LOL

Clarity...
Your post was too funny!
My dad is not so extreme, but the hates squirels on his bird bath and bird feeder. He spends so much time chasing them away only to come back after 2 minutes

oh my grands are completely certifiable, but if they were ever to win their battle with the 'furry virmits" as they call them they'd probably close up shop and die. my grandmother is a charter member of the ft. jax red hat society and that and sqirrel-torturing are her main pastimes, lol. they're old, they're crochety, and they're a little 'titched in the head, but they're a hoot :)

i had the same experience with SC, it is a very weird site! but the thought that someone really has the job of dressing up like a chicken and sitting in front of a webcam doing what people tell him to all day is just too funny not to see it, kwim? i really wonder what that guy majored in in college, right now i'm debating between interpersonal communications and microbiology. what do you think? roflol :)

LOL...I hate to admit it, but I have a really dirty mind! lol I told him to "dance real nasty, while spanking himself" LOL


I'll bet your grandparents are really fun! It makes me miss mine! Someday maybe I'll tell you about the chimpanzees I grew up with! literally.
