as my friend J. He literally hunts ducks with a wrench. I don't approve of it, but he basically beats the ducks to death with a wrench. He lures them in with food and then clobbers them. He plans on stepping up to Geese. I've mentioned that Geese fight back and, yet, he finds that inciting and not as a deterrent.

Improbable Lobster posted:Canada is bigger than the usa and has a smaller and more spread out population while also having a more coherent national identity than the states. How's Quebec been lately? There's also the repeated-like-clockwork waves of immigrants we've had, which are shat upon for a while until they're deemed to be white enough to put up with, which usually coincides with the -next- wave of folks showing up. Leal posted:So they got the actual actors from the TV series to do the voices right? Do they talk that stilted in the TV show? The "That duck call is like poetry to the ears" read was awful, I would think someone who speaks for a living could deliver it more naturally. It's just about that bad on the show.

The only animals that you are ethically allowed to club to death are animals that can kill you much more easily, because then it's an honorable duel.

Pvt.Scott posted:Geese will gently caress your limbs and extremities up. Encourage him to invest in some gloves and boots and to use a metal trash can or bucket lid as a buckler. Dude, I've straight up told him that Geese will gently caress him up. And he just looks off into the distance and gives some pseudo-masculine bullshit about how he'll gladly fight a bunch of them. Like, he's my friend and stuff, but a part of me is like "if he is gonna dig a hole because him and my other friend D always think they can get away with everything, then he can lie in it." If wants to be an rear end in a top hat to animals despite my protests, then, you know, he can deal with the repercussions. Also, legitimately, he probably would go through with it anyways.

Nah, he'd just come up with some elaborate ruse to try to get it without paying or at a reduced cost. Presumably in a way that makes it so that he has to go back to the restaurant only when there is a different waiting staff on duty.

MachuPikacchu posted:I can confirm that you don't realize how bit the USA if you're not from there. Last year I drove from Miami to Orlando with my girlfriend and it took us over three hours at 90mph and mostly in a straight line. And this was in the 22nd largest state in the country. But if you look at it on a map, it looks like a tiny sliver of the entire country, which it is. The experience made me appreciate how well-kept and efficient the USA's highway system is, and how much the country depends on it and on motor transportation in general. Since 2007 I've made almost yearly trips from my home in Orlando to New York City, Detroit, and other more northern places. The drive from here to NYC may not look like it on the map, but it's close to 1000 miles and means spending over a day just on the road with stops and sleep factored in. People can and have turned going coast to coast into an adventure because if you're not taking a plane or train, you're spending over a day of your life just sitting in a chair with your foot pushing a pedal down.

Mraagvpeine posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_duck The point is that wild ducks farm themselves and congregate in predictable enough ways that you don't need to do much heavy lifting. So then you just have to shoot them, and shooting things is fun. It's not like wringing their necks by hand is going to win you any more karma points anyway.

Samovar posted:How cheaply do these things get made? They certainly didn;t waste any time on getting re-runs on the line deliveries... I was told you're generally looking at $1-1.5m and <1yr of development time for these sorts of games, so yeah, really cheap by today's standards. The way it works is that Activision has a huge network of distributors that lets them carpetbomb every possible retail space with crappy games like these, either by forcing retailers to take them alongside COD or Skylanders or whatever or by just sending them unannounced without giving a poo poo if they're thrown in the bargain bin, so long as they get sold. Reliable licenses + tiny budgets + ubiquity = profit.

I once caught a pigeon out of the air mid-flight, but only after I had cornered it, and again only after two dozen attempts at pestering the poor thing over the course of a month. For a wild animal, its feathers were really soft and it felt so delicate I was afraid I'd hurt it as it struggled, though, so I let it go after a few seconds.

It seems to me like the only reason birds like geese and swans have such a feared reputation is because they're legally protected, because otherwise you should be able to easily win a fight with one by just kicking it.

Meanwhile I've been bitten by a duck once, and it barely hurt at all. The moment I made a startled noise, it hosed off pretty quick. Ducks are small and scared of us. (Though the hunting may have a fair bit to do with the latter.)

They will gently caress you up. Swans aren't strong enough to break the limb of any healthy adult. They'd only be able to pull that off if it was an extremely large, bizarrely aggressive swan putting in an enormous effort to kill something it wouldn't want to eat or do anything with, and even then it would probably only break a child's or an elderly person's arm. They're really strong for birds but they're not as strong as they're said to be, and they're also not nearly as aggressive as geese are. That said, like a lot of things they'd be able to smash your collar bone or your frontal bones or similar fragile bones, so they'd still hurt to get hit by, a lot. mdct fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jan 22, 2015 |

You're probably right. My main point of not loving with birds stands, though. Don't gently caress with birds.

Don't kick a goose, that's the worst idea. The beak is the dangerous end. A kick tends to aim for the body, leaving the dangerous end free to bite you in the balls. An unarmed person's best bet against a goose is to grab it by the neck, fling it like a slingshot, and vacate the area. Geese are giant loving assholes. We used to have one that would sneak up on people just to bite them in the balls and/or rear end in a top hat. It resulted in bleeding. Oh, and there was the one that just liked swooping in out of nowhere to assault the hell out of people at random. My favorite was the one who had no fear of vehicles whatsoever. It would stop cars to bite their tires. One day, Dad got sick of it and sped up instead of slowing down. Goose bit the tire anyway and was sent spinning off into the forest like a helicopter. drat goose still did it after that, just not to our car.
