Strange Sight @ Home

[Turanil]

It's like breaking out a shotgun to take down a hornet's nest, another stupid redneck idea I've witnessed personally. Why someone wants to discharge firearms when a ten dollar can of poison will do the job better is beyond me.

Precisely because it's just an excellent excuse to (proudly and fiercely) wander around a gun in hand, shooting at (so-called) threats.

Personally, if I'd seen a gun-toting redneck pacing in my yard when I got home, I'd just keep driving and try not to attract his attention...

LOL! (Frankly, I think that it is also what I would do... )

I'm still getting stuck on why anybody would care one way or the other if they had snakes in their yard, much less have some lunatic run around shooting at them.

Because old ladies like attention and so do guys with crappy peashooters and no common sense. It's obvious that wolf70 doesn't particularly care about snakes as much as armed dudes in his yard, which is logical - but logic isn't important compared to ego and fear for the majority of the planet.

Hopefully, the guy with the gun's last words weren't "Y'all check this out!"

Y'all don't watch much redneck TV, do you?

The most dangerous words ever invented are, "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Actually, when I approached him and asked if he was having any luck (I am either brave or stupid), he replied that he hadn't seen too many since they scattered. He was prodding around with his work boots and searching under bushes and such. He told me, "I don't have great aim, so I got ratshot in there to get a good spread. I wanna shoot in the thing's general direction and still hit it." He then relayed several stories from the neighborhood while I helped him walk his tightening cordon around the yard. His mother apparently has a .357 magnum and can pick off snakes just sighting down the barrel at arms length. His friend a few blocks away found a snake under the workbench in his garage and it wouldn't get out, so he went and got his single-barrel shotgun and "blew it to pieces." He siad, "There was blood sprayed up all over the wall of his garage." Firing a gun inside a garage is a "bad idea (TM)". Wow.

The "all snakes are evil" crowd belongs in the same bottomless pit as the "D&D is evil" people. Me, I'm one of those idiots who stops to get turtles out of the road. A few months back, I saw a black rat snake heading into my neighbors yard. Knowing they had a large dog, I caught the snake and relocated it, just be be sure. Yes, I catch spiders in the house and take them outside, as well.

Now hamsters, on the other hand, are the spawn of Satan. They must all die.

I'm kind of that way with dungeons - hard finding the right sized jar for a spider, monstrous, large, let me tell you.
