    I'm sickened by the candid nature and ribbing: These CANADIAN geese are coming here, having anchor babies, taking jobs away from AMERICAN geese. This is a real problem and should be handled by immigration. I propose we write our senators and representatives and have them put a bill into motion to build a net on the Canadian/American border to prevent them from illegally immigrating into our country!!!11!!1!


    :D

    When we were little kids, 5 to 8, my brothers and I took great delight in herding the Canada geese away from my grandpa's garden. We used the little bats that the Cinnicnatti Reds used to give away at some games. My youngest brother, 5 at the time, decided to chase them solo one day. He picked a fight with a big gander and lost badly. That thing knocked him down, bit him, beat him with it's wings, and chased him right up to the sliding door. He was just wearing a pair of shorts at the time and was bloody and bruised from head to toe. It was awesome.:D

    Looking back, we should have alerted an adult to his predicament, but we were too busy rolling on the floor laughing.

    Odds are Plainfield PD wouldn't have arrested you. They probably would have laughed, notified DNR, and if they had issue with it, they'd contact you.

    I saw the whole thing your honor. The goose in question started the fight, he was armed with a knife. And this brave citizen was just defending himself.

    Yesterday I had the opportunity to eliminate one of these fowl denizens of our communities.

    I was in a parking lot near the corner of 71st and Georgetown. As I was slowly crossing in my truck, and exceptionally stupid goose walked in front of me. I slowed to a stop and the damn thing just stood there, close enough to my truck that it could have bit the bumper. No fear, no intelligence.

    I wanted to just goose the gas and serve humanity and the planet at the same time, but I backed down.


    rhino out!

    I dunno, that's pretty crowded territory over near Carmike. Only to the southeast is there anything close to clear range; the rest is Metropolis, apartments, restaurants and even a fricking playground. PPD are cool, but I'm guessing you'd get a pretty stern lecture, at least.

    IMO, geese respond very well to being treated like a kickball. Alternately, grab that head they stick out so obligingly and whip it like you're trying to get a kink across the yard out of a garden hose. :D

    Those bats were awesome! However, I was swinging it one time in the house as a kid and it slipped out and put a hole in the wall.

    No body on INGO is harrassing any geese and especially not touching them.

    Of course not!

    But, let's just say . . . hypothetically . . . that a vehicle that is clearly not a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado . . . were to in some way make incidental contact with one of the aforementioned birds through no fault of the driver, mind you, and then the goose which only exists in the example were to experience some sort of hypothetical injury which results in a species population reduction?

    rhino out!

    We'll demand trial by jury!
