We are overrun by Canadian Geese in Southwest Ohio. The fuckers are shit machines. The kids like watching them, but the assholes think they own the place.

Sounds like the Chinese families on "New Student Check In Days" here.

:shudder:  Thanks, I'll have nightmares on that one tonight.

The bane of every golf course in the Mid Atlantic.  Tough to putt through the mountains of shit.

I played a course one time that let a dog run around to scare off the geese.  Fucker picked up my ball off the green and ran off with it.

Sounds like it should be on a billboard someplace:  The Mongers Garden, an avian rest home and hospice.

... are Canadian geese good eating?

My Dad saw a nasty, mange-covered fox Saturday at my sister's place while they were gone.  This goddamned fox didn't budge when he had my sister's other dog with him, it merely sat down and watched them from about 20 feet away.  So Dad figured this fox was either A) sick or B) crazy or C) both, especially with the Barclay the German Shepard around, so he went back home to get his gun, came back but the fox was gone.

Guess what was found dead this AM in my sister's barn, smelling to high heaven? 

The correct answer is A: SICK.

This is exactly why you should carry at all times.  You never know when you might run into someone needing medical help.

Would help get our healthcare spending under control.

Named after Canada - probably not.

My yard is mostly squirrels, with the occasional raccoon walking towards the trash can like owns the place.

And skunks. 

With no garden this year, the rabbit seems to have retreated.

Skunks and geese are about the only things I haven't found on my small wooded lot. 

Just about any type of bird from the region frequents my feeders in the back, particularly cardinals.  Lots of squirrels, lots of deer, several rabbits, oppossums, occasional raccoon, garter snakes, one deader than shit mole, an owl or two, and a turtle.  And at around 9:05 or 9:10pm in the summer a swarm of bats materializes from the woods.

Plus some other weird-ass animals I hear at night but have never seen.

Chupacabra?

I didn't grow up in a rural area (I guess sort of wooded here and there) and we had lots of things that would roam around in our housing tract. Rabbits, foxes, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, garter snakes, frogs, pheasants and coyotes. There were also a few memorable occasions with sheep and then cows.

You guys seem to have more 'natural' nature invading your lots, around here despite it being rural, things are more controlled, if I head off into the local New Forest (as in William the Conqueror) all the cute horses, wild cattle and donkeys I see, all actually belong to someone, so it's more like a wildlife/nature theme park than a real national park. 

[CountDeMoney]

That's because you're in Europe:  much like your Jews, you've managed to kill off all your wildlife.

[CountDeMoney]

My brother-in-law wouldn't get the dead fox carcass out of the barn.  My sister had to do it.  He's such a weenie.  Lawyer.

That is because you are in southern England. You've crammed 50 or so million people into England, and it wouldn't even qualify as a geographically large state.

Last Friday evening, an older overweight gentleman in a brand new F150 passed out in a busy ave/hwy, he drifted from the left lane all the way to the ditch on the right side. Like 5 or 6 cars stopped to help, including an off duty paramedic, 2 of us military, and a real big black dude, we banged on the windows and tried all doors, but no reaction. He started to turn blue, so we broke a window to open the door, turned off the truck, and pulled him out. It took 5 of us to get him out of the ditch and onto the road, even with the big black hulk that was there. He had a weak pulse and snorted by himself a few times. The fire dept paramedics got there in about 3 or 4 minutes, he had an IV and got jump started twice before he was in an ambulance.

People stopped to help, PD and FD just a mile away, hospital about 3 miles away, and I still wonder if he made it.   Poor fat bastard.
