They oughta get with technology and try an Acme rocket.

Alas, ever since W. Coyote v. Acme et al Acme has been in receivership and is not expected to resume production.

So is the Border Patrol installing a north to south version that will shoot 300 yards? A little off to the side though so we don't have any collisions.

I propose the Border Patrol should one-up these pikers with a trebuchet.

I am hypnotized
by her. She's a cool artist,
can build anything,

sounds smart when she talks . . .
Oh. And she has a tongue stud.
My brain short-circuits.

If the illegals
see strange stuff that looks like this,
they might start thinking . . .

The first thing I thought
was that illegals would start
building gift rabbits

to give US towns
along the border. Of course,
after the rabbits

were wheeled into town
dozens of illegals would
spill out from inside . . .

LOL -- thanks for posting the pictures, especially the Monty Python as I had forgotten that scene.

Note to self: learn more HTML...

Okay, this one's a little strange. But it'll be funny to watch in any case.

If the illegals
are making themselves airborne,
then for people who

recognize this pic,
there's the possibility
of a whole new game!

Agree. I find nothing funny about the status of our borders.

I'm kind of thinking
the squirrels might enjoy that thing.
(My cat might like it . . .)

Thanks for the ping. But I live overseas, so no TV access. Right now, I'm on a lake near the Russian border... I only have a GPRS connection to the web. Amazing how technology is everywhere these days! :-)

I am surrounded by forest, lakes and wild animals... but somewhere nearby must be a GPRS antenna... God only knows where...

Our world is incredibly small!

Having watched many episodes I can only assume that in the end they will actually strap explosives to and blowup an illegal alien.

And I'm so not into the "help" they hired for this season.
