Looks like a .17? Feinstein will out-law it by the end of the month.

You can't link to an image on a private server like that. Unless you want to give us all your username and password, that is :)

LOL! Love the little extra of the duct tape on the peep's mouth! Or is it beak?

A normally placid and timid animal that suddenly becomes aggressive: They sure better consider rabies.

It happens - I hit abuse on it, just FYI. Nothing personal, but the login prompt was kind of annoying :)

Doesn't your cat know he should only bring you the head.

Squirrels (and rabbits) only attack a$$holes; they leave normal people alone.

I wish. He is trying to feed me. He brings in live vermin and tries his best to drop them at my feet. It was a real scream when a mouse that he brought in ran straight up my jeans. Instead of keeping my head and just pulling off the jeans, I started kicking wildly much like a rockett until the thing flew out. Unfortunately I kicked the fireplace while I was freaking out and broke a toe.

"Aggressive gray squirrels have been bothering Portland, Oregon hikers in backwoods areas. They have hissed, attacked and even bitten hikers."

Those squirrels were probably upset about the smell of these hippy, Portland hilkers.

Freggin` squirells ARE aggressive! They are aggressive as allll hell! Last year like a fool I put peanuts on my window sill, and when I saw squirells come right up to my window, I put them out regurlarly because it was such a novelty. They would even eat them out of my hand. Then the nightmare began. They wake me up all the time at 5am by rapping on the window, then they try to chew their way inside - all the insulation on the bottom of my window is gone, then get this... I had one actually squeeze in somehow when I left the window open a crack, and when he found out he couldn`t get out again he went freggin` crazy!! I walk in my bedroom one day and I see a squirell jumping all over the freggin` place, on my computer, on my bed, on my floor like a superball boing boing boing boing. I had to very calmly open the window and then leave the room and close the door. It is just never ending, they are literally nuts about nuts. I haven`t opened that window since.
