Things That Annoy You

[nickiknack]

My bro in law is an asshole,  he's starting this whole no swearing bs towards me again, and reported the said post for Nudity, when there is no fucking nudity to be found. Fuck you, I'm not taking the post down because there is nothing FB can do to me for swearing.

My slingshot broke, and now I have to wait probably more than a month for a replacement. As if that's not bad enough, a new magpie has just moved in.

Sigh, this is going to be a long and agonising month, I can just tell.

have you tried blowpipes as a stopgap? they're cheap to make, and with some wine bottle corks and a needle can ruin the day of anything.

If they can get away with it, they'll just sit on higher branches rather than going somewhere else, so anything that can't reach the tops of trees isn't going to do the job.

Truth be told, either trapping or poisoning will need to be my stopgap. I'll try trapping to start off with. I hear a 1mx1mx1m cube made of chicken wire with a hole in the top (big enough for a bird to jump down but too small to fly back out) gets the job done, and sounds simple enough that even I could do it.

my sister's dog just pissed on the wifi router... this dog is so bonkers it can't even go out to take a dump. no, it has to do it in the comfort of the living room. and now, it just fried our private internet access... i hate dogs, and the more i live with that sorry excuse for the canis genus, the more intense the hatred gets.

I'm sorry but what!?  Is he really trying to censor you?

Ironbite-what a fucking asshole.

Well, that was a massive failure. Turns out it's not so simple that even I can do it. At least not in this heat.

On the other hand, they tucked right into a bit of bread soaked in fly spray, so it should all be good once that kicks in. Hopefully tomorrow things will be nice and quiet from 5am onwards.

art, are you in the southern hemisphere? if not, yew berries are ripening, that combined with fat and syrup should make for a lethal deliciously irresistible poison. granted, you need access to a yew tree...

I swear if you guys weren't talking about a bunch of birds I would swear you were about murder a person in the most painful way possible.

I'm in Australia, so yeah, not really an option, unfortunately. Sounds like an awesome idea though, assuming dogs aren't interested in it.

Though if you have any recipes involving Australian flora, I'd be most intrigued.

[Zygarde]

Isn't most native flora to your continent deadly to began with? Or is that just the fauna?

The flora is if anything rather benign. Well, there is that one tree that causes enough pain to drive people and animals to suicide just from touching its leaves, but other than that the plant life isn't nearly as vicious as the animals.

Poison the birdbath?

[Art Vandelay]

Yeah, like I'd ever have something that attracts birds. The fucking things are worse than bronies circa 2011/2012.
