Charlie,
I love the story and have fought the tree rat (squirrel) wars myself. I don't think anyone has ever won that war although I must admit the guy who invented the tree rat catapult came close. The problem is the fact that it doesn't really matter how many battles you win, they will keep coming back, and will win the war.
I think my neighbor has the right idea by simply deporting them to the other side of the lake after they are caught in his humane trap. So far, there has been no evidence to indicate that any of the deported tree rats have been willing to swim five miles to get home. I'm going to get a trap and do the same thing. I think that together with my neighbor, we can severely deplete the tree rat population in our area.
I accidentally found an inhumane way to get rid of them last summer. We set up one of those big fiberglass water troughs for the cattle. The automatic float control was set to keep the water level about six inches below the top lip of the tank. The tank was set up against a tree. The tree rats soon found the easy access to water. What they didn't know was when they got low enough into the tank to get a drink, they would fall in. They were unable to climb or jump out of the water and drowned.
Because I am a fairly humane person, I put a board in the water this year in order for them to climb aboard the little boat and then jump out of the tank. ( I was also getting tired of having to drain the tank in order to drag the dead tree rats out of it)

1) Fluffy-Tailed Rats cannot swim, walk, fly, or row across water to return to their original stomping (and stealing) grounds. Good.
2) Ted is both humane *and* smart. He gave the Fluffy-Tailed Rats a board so they could climb onto it and climb back out *and* he knew that their nasty little carcasses would poison his cattle, either by natural decomposition or innate orneriness (sp?) and spite, so he removed them quickly upon discovery. Also Good.
Cynthia, still trying to figure out who else is feeding the !@#$%# catafractus squirrels!!! I got one to stop forever, but....
My father in law who lives with us loves to feed all the beasts but they get into places under the house and even in the walls. I need an out door cat. I would love to have a lake to put them on the other side of, please send lake this way.
An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?" The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to."
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna' dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet. The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.
The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's back side?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but... I've always wanted to."
There are a few lessons for us all here:
Never be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.
I just love a story with a happy ending, don't you?

I have seen so many strange things at the boat ramps and docks I use to launch my boat. Some people go and just sit there during the busy times as they expect to see odd things happen. I have seen run away boats, boats hit other boats, people fall overboard, fights and even a boat blow up and burn. On a number of occasions I have seen boats start to sink as the people forgot to put the drain plug back in, I did this once my self.
One guy forgot to unhook the tie down straps on his boat and it floated the trailer off side ways.
Another guy backed down and did not set his break then got out and accidentally put it in reverse. The guy’s truck and trailer went under water and he had to have a diver hook the cable up to the tow truck.
One guy was holding on to his boat when it started to drift away he kept a hold of it as it got further from the dock. In a short time he was stretched out flat and his toes started to drag across the dock. The boat kept moving away from the dock until his toes slipped of the dock and he went into the water.

I agree the squirrels always win in the end. The last place we lived we had more of a problem with them, because more woods on the property. We started with feeders on poles, but the squirrels climb the poles. So we put barriers on the poles, so the jump and come down from the top. So we put domes over the tops. So then they start figuring ways around all the barriers. So we run rope between trees and hang them from that. They chew through the rope. So we run CHAIN between the trees and hang them from that (still with the domes over them and everything). That worked pretty well for awhile, but by now our lovely pastoral back yard is starting to look like an industrial park!
Eventually we moved
Where we are now we are doing pretty well with squirrel proof feeders hung from branches and plenty of other food out for the squirrels. Especially when all the walnuts start dropping, the squirrels quit caring about the bird seed. Of course then whenever I try to work near the walnut tree, the squirrels hit me in the head with walnuts! (Really! It's happened way too many times to be an accident). I can just picture them up there, laughing their fool heads off!

Tom,
Bob Wills (Country Swing Originator) and "Asleep At The Wheel" recorded a song entitled "Miles And Miles Of Texas". Miles and miles of Texas work just as well for tree rat deportation as a gigantic moat. You do need to spin them around a few times to disorient them and try to not let them see the direction you take when you drive off. Those dudes have good noses and can probably track you all the way home. Is there such a thing as "Miles and Miles of Oregon?
Charley should have been building a lot of tiny little surfboards and taking boat loads of the little dudes way out on his big boat. Give each tree rat a tiny surf board and bid each Bon Voyage as he happily heads for home port ratless. The folks in Bermuda may not appreciate it in a couple of weeks, but hey thats what they get for living in paradise without enough tree rats. Giving them a fighting chance (a tiny fighting chance) would be the humane thing to do. I've actually seen videos of them riding surf boards.

I used to have a video of a dog skateboarding. It was insane, he was jumping ramps and dropping in on small half pipes. It really hit home because I am a skater.:EDIT: Okay found it you all have to watch this it is really insane. I don't know more than a few people that can do the things this dog can do.

Alright here is another one I found if you go to the site you can find more. Let me see any one one you do these tricks.

Tom, love the prospector story.
Ted, surfing squirrels? Nope. They own me, they know it. If they got near my boat they would just run up a big gas bill. I have stopped ,drinking , submitted gracefully and over the years, regained my dignity.
They always win. I admit it. I'm not as smart as a squirrel.
But, I have reached a sufficient level of geezerfication that I can tell you it's a safe bet that I'll never deliberately or under threat ever have to kiss a mule's behind.
Tom, may I use that story?

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because
it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

Facebook has it's uses, it is a good way to connect to people with quick messages. I have also been found and found lost friends on it. Now some people get carried away with it and post lame stuff like " going shopping today" but it is not as bad as Twitter. There are a lot of what I feel are dumb games people play on Facebook like "Animal Farm" and "Mafia Wars".
But then it may take time away from being able to read and post here.

I've kept in touch with all my old friends by use of the telephone and e-mail, and yes, even snail-mail. I've never been able to figure out what I would do on Facebook. I'm not interested in posting pictures. I asked a friend of mine who lives in Chicago what she does on Facebook, and she told me she hardly ever goes there anymore. To me, the whole thing seems like a lot of hoopla about nothing.
As for my iPhone, now that's the best invention ever! I don't use it as a phone all that often, but I use it for all kinds of other things. It keeps my grocery list for me; I have Kindle on it, so I always have a book to read while waiting somewhere; it keeps my calendar for me; I have all my emergency medical information on it; and on, and on. I have 4 pages of apps, and it has become my auxiliary brain! It's just an old 3G that my son gave me when he got his 3GS, but IMO, it's wonderful! I'm lusting after his 3GS now that he has his new 4G.

If it's Farm Story, you're talking about, my 8 and 11 yr olds love that game which has been ported as an iPad app. They're allowed to play that as well as City Story, Tap Fish and Tap Birds, etc. as much as they want as long as they don't try to "purchase" any bucks and only accumulate currency and points by PLAYING the games and as long they they don't do any of the networking stuff except to go "clean" and "water" etc. the "neighbors'" environments.
If the "neighbors'" elaborate environments belong to other real players, they must be actually paying money to buy the extras...

Kisal,
You sound like my wife. She has the droid phone and keeps all of her information on it. We just returned from our required trip to Walmart. She has her grocery list on the droid. We were traveling earlier this week and I was looking for a highway intersection where I needed to turn. She pulled up her droid GPS and it showed where we were plus the intersection where I needed to turn. She entertains herself playing word games like scrabble with people all over the world on her droid. I still don't even like to turn my cell phone on. I did use it at Walmart when I finished looking at everything in the gardening area to call her and ask which isle she was on. It beats walking the entire store looking for her. She has the ring tone that says "hello,,,,,,,HELLO,,,,HELLO,,,,,,, HEEELLLLLOOOOOOOO I can hear her phone all over the store.

Joe and Fred wanted to go ice fishing so they went to a lake and realized they needed some thing to cut into the ice. Fred went to a house near by and asked if he could borrow some thing to cut into the ice. The farmer let him use an ax. Later when it was dark Fred brought the ax back and the farmer asked him why it took so long. Fred told the farmer that it took all day just to cut a hole big enough to fit the boat into.
Having learned their lesson Joe and Fred went looking for some ice close to home and did not bring the boat this time. Joe started to cut a hole in the ice when he heard from above “ stop cutting a hole in the iceâ€

A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easy.
So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.
This catches the senior's attention and, to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?'
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the 'net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows--all to no avail.. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the senior and hands him $500. The senior pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

The economy is so bad that,
I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck...
Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal.
Oh Great! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated
by the people who made $1.5 trillion disappear!
Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.
A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.
My ATM gave me an IOU!
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

Link worked for me, with audio, the music is a nice addition. Thanks for posting the link.
The FB one talks about how she "trained" the squirrel by building the course in stages. After the squirrel learned how to do one section, they would add the next so the course kept getting longer and longer.
How can you not love them? The squirrels and raccoons are going to rule the world after humans blow themselves up! They are so smart! I enjoy watching the squirrels, because they seem to spend a lot of their day just playing, chasing each other around the trees, doing daredevil stunts for the pure joy of it!

There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure.
I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me.
When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance.
I left my wallet in the cab I took home.
I found my old lady in bed with the gardener and then my dog bit me."
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing!

Great, Six Flags for tree rats and a mechanical street vendor to feed them. I'll never eat out of a machine again. Did you not have a picture of one filching a beer to go with it?

For all you hunters.
Two hunters were out on a hunting trip when one accidently got shot. His buddy called 911 and told the operator what had happened. The 911 operator asked how the guy who got shot was doing. The man who called 911 said no need to hurry as he is dead. The operator asked how he knew the man was dead. The caller said he looks dead. So the operator told him he needed to be sure his buddy was dead. Then she heard a loud BANG!

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied.'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets

A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'
(keep shuddering!!)
