On my way to work this morning i saw a few more lions than normal. They are a pain in the a$$ though. They chew on your bumper if you give them half a chance or slow down too much

I see bunnies every day? School is out for Summer so no Cougars for a couple more months!

I just have to worry about the Geico squirrels, really starting to hate them. But hey, at least they are a squishable! :thumbsup:

OK. This is where i confess that this pic was taken in a game reserve. We do not have lions roaming the streets in town, or elephants eating the fruit off our trees in the back yard. Our roads are paved (unless you go rural), and we all wear clothes (not loincloths) and drive cars (not donkeys or cows). And just like Australia, we do not have any drop bears waiting to fall on us.

What we do have around town are monkeys, and THEY are a pain in the a$$. Climbing through open windows in your house and trashing your kitchen looking for food. Crapping all over the place :mad:.

I thought i would just pull your legs again with the lion pic. LOL :D:D:D

Hold up. The monkeys actually come into your house ?
Do they get agressive or crap on your stuff ?

Yup. And the crap smells bad. They go for bread, vegetables or anything they can get their hands on. In the process of doing that they pretty much trash the place. My dog goes ballistic when they are around.

That photo is a real one, not like the above lion one taken in a game park

I remember my ex wife one time trying to chase them away, and when she turned around one of the monkeys ran up behind her and slapped her on the leg.

To try get rid of them we once bought chilli powder and poured it into hollowed out bananas. We then threw them outside and watched as the monkeys downed them. It was then so funny to see them wiping their tongues frantically with their hands trying to cool their tongues down.

We had also heard that monkeys have a instinctual fear of lions, and that if you spread some lion manure around the garden then they wouldn't come near. There is a zoo close by, so we went there and managed to convince the workers there to give us some lion crap (dang it smelled bad!!!!!). We put it in a bucket with some water to dilute it, and then distributed it around the garden. Did it keep the monkeys away i hear you asking. NO!! It didn't...and the garden stank for a week after :D

I then bought a paintball gun and some plastic balls. When they came close i would try shoot them with that. My aim was terrible and i never actually hit one, but it kept them away for a while
