So I put a little more work into my lawn this spring/summer than I usually do.  With the kids taking up so much time I kinda neglected it the past two years.  With the help of a good amount of rain up until recently, it was looking nice.  So I turned my focus to some other stuff that needed to be done around the exterior of the house.

Just when I had my back turned, so to speak, I noticed a network of mole tunnels tearing up my front yard.  Goddamned mole(s) must die.  I was going to buy a trap but dad suggested getting these poisoned fake worms that the moles would take back to their den or whatever and kill the lot of them.  Of course, if I see one of those fuckers in the open he's getting flattened with a shovel.

Any other ideas?

Women are always cold.

In Portland, sure.

No, always - relative to the heat of the place in which they reside. Unless, as Meri notes, they are going through menopause :D

Yeah...I'm usually all "all God's creatures have a right to live equally under the sun", but in the case of spiders, snakes and moles, it's game on.  Nasty little fuckers.

That poison idea sounds like a good one, since I don't think they offer themselves as easy targets above ground for Varmint Cong fire missions.

I do have some M-80's left over from the Fourth :hmm:

Actually, they're labeled "M-90" and don't seem any more powerful than a regular firecracker, despite their size.

Moles aren't anywhere near as bad as gophers.

But if he starts killing all the golfers, they'll lock him up and throw away the key.

Ewww, that's past their use by date, gotta ditch them by then.

Pfft... mine started at 31. :P

With so many women getting their innards removed, it's not just those with a passed sell-by date that are affected. :D

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

Or pregnant. Don't forget pregnancy.

As I've mentioned, though, I've always loved cold rooms. It's an excuse to wear heavy sweaters and fluffy socks. :D  :Canuck:

Damn!  I got picked, and sat through the voir dire questions before they sent us off to lunch. Should have said crazy/retarded shit like a couple other people did to get out of it.

Because you're smarter than she is.

You both know "if he's here he's guilty" is true - but you know enough not to say it out loud.   :ph34r:
