Aren't they also blowing up the graves? And OT: Isn't that the goofiest looking news crew? NTTAWWT

Didn't Bill Murray start that company?

Never, ever drive through Gallup NM on a Friday night. Quote from ZZ TOP's 'Drunk Injun Boogie': Just got paid today, got me a pocketful of gold.

eilbeback, yes! I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. SNORKING here.

(Yes, I suppose I look just as goofy, but I don't have a job on TV.)

(But maybe I can... hmmmm... adds "goofy-looking anchorwoman" to "possible new careers" list...)

"You push that button, and it ignites the gases and there's a large explosion and concussion," Bob Weekes, Gallup's director of golf operations, said. "It's supposed to be very humane, and it seems to be that it is. It's quick and lethal."

"It's not the best one but it seems to be the most successful one at this point," City Manager Gerald Herrera said.

Not to mention fun!!!

"This is all hill country; rabbits, snakes everything else," Garcia said. "We can't tell them not to go someplace where they can be."

WTFBBQ?
We can tell them to go someplace they can be?
We can't NOT tell them?

There's a zen koan for you:
Prairie dogs can be in a cemetery; prairie dogs can be outside of a cemetery; how many detonations of the rodenator does it take to roast them all?

The Grave-Digging Prairie Dogs opened for ZZ Top, rascal.

[Elon Weintraub]

"The Rodenator pumps prairie dog burrows with propane and oxygen and then detonates the air-fuel mixture."

Don't have any prairie dogs, but that is no reason not to get a Rodenator. There are so many uses for that sort of thing.

[Hank Hill]

God bless America and God bless propane and propane accessories, I tell you what...!

[somedude]

They want alternate suggestions? Just turn the local kids loose with their (not they're) .22s and a couple of boxes or better yet, a brick of shells.

[Allen at Division]

But how will they take political polls now?...

[OtheU(manity)]

Mebbe the Pals could humanely capture the Dogs and then feed 'em birth-control pills ...

(Don't laugh too loudly ... that very concept — with variations — was the thesis topic of a grad student ... at a State University which shall remain nameless, because their alumni association might get angry with me ... )

Another classic product from Idaho. We love stuff that blows up.

I thought the same thing, eilbeback. I'm not sure which would be worse: Having Grandma's grave riddled with prairie dog burrows or pumping Grandma's grave full of gas and blowing it up. Somehow, that doesn't seem dignified...

Cool, I think I saw that in a movie once.

You've got to love a country that allows devices like the Rodenator (shoddy journalism in not letting us know where we can order our own) and at the same time allows the "Pals" to protest the practice. I love this country!
