turtlespeed 226 #51 January 4, 2005 Come on people - I understand it can raise the blood pressure a bit - but you do throw your entire body out of a moving aircraft. It's a mouse with wings. I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #52 January 4, 2005 QuoteJust dropped the bat off. I'll know in about two days if the bat had rabies. They will call me if it did. I just hope it didn't turn out to be Grandpa Munster. You know what kind of trouble he can get into. Seriously tough, I would have let it go.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #53 January 4, 2005 QuoteCome on people - I understand it can raise the blood pressure a bit - but you do throw your entire body out of a moving aircraft. It's a mouse with wings. That's my line. I wonder if people would kill a bat with their bare hands for less money than a puppy? I wonder how much it would cost to kill a rabid bat with your bare hands?

turtlespeed 226 #54 January 4, 2005 Sorry Deuce - didn't mean to plageurize - but DAMN - would you do that to a LEMUR? What Puppy's have crossed you threashold - and been disected as a result?

GTAVercetti 0 #55 January 4, 2005 Quote It's a mouse with wings. Its not that big of a deal...I would have let it go though, cause a bat is hardly a 'mouse with wings.' Does a mouse keep the insect population down by eating 1200 mosquitoes an hour? That sounds like a helpful little animal to me, unlike say, mice.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #58 January 5, 2005 Good news and bad news. Good: The bat was not rabid. Bad: The bat is dead. I do have to admit, it was cute. A pet bat would be cool... I could train it to fly next me when I'm doing a birdman jump. Of course now that I've "had a bat killed" I'm sure I've been black flagged at the bat adoption center.

fireflytx 0 #60 January 6, 2005 Bats are my favorite animals. Please don't kill it! I am a member of Bats Conservation International, the group mention prior. If a bat has rabies you would know and they die shortly after they contract it. There are so many myths about bats. Dogs are a higher carrier of rabies then bats. AND THEY DON"T GET STUCK IN YOUR HAIR! They are necessary for your environment. Hang a bat house in your back yard and it will help keep the bug population down in your backyard. And PS WE WOULD NOT HAVE TEQUILA WITHOUT BATS. They pollinate the flowers that make tequila. So please treat your local friendly bats to some help if they get in your home. If they do have rabies they will be on the ground flailing and it is quite noticeable. BATS DO NOT MEAN RABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peacefuljeffrey 0 #61 January 6, 2005 QuoteSo if it's outside on the porch, why not take of the lid and let him go? It's not likely to come back inside is it? I'm with mccurley... let the poor traumatized adorable bat go! It looks so cute in that second pic! Blue skies, -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

peacefuljeffrey 0 #62 January 6, 2005 QuoteWe put a bat house at my Mom's house to attract them. Works way better than a bug light to keep skeeters and other bugs away in the summer. That is wayyy cool!! I remember back up on Long Island when I was in college, we were at this girl's back yard having a party and there were bats swooping occasionally not far over our heads in the dark. I thought it was cool. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #64 January 6, 2005 QuoteWE WOULD NOT HAVE TEQUILA WITHOUT BATS. They pollinate the flowers that make tequila. Wow, I didn't know that. I could get drummed out of the Rodriguez Brothers for this. Not to mention endangering TheAnvils life fluid. Unfortunately as mentioned above, the bat is dead. It did not have rabies. I had to be sure because: 1. I was at high risk of having being bit because I was sleeping. 2. I couldn't have kept the bat alive until the rabies gestation period would have been over. 3. I'm not the only one in this house. A family just moved in upstairs with a dog and a kid. I needed to know to protect them as well. I actually haven't met them yet though. That would have made quite the icebreaker, "Hi, I'm your downstairs neighbor. Listen I had a rabid bat in my apartment and I have to get rabies shots. You need to as well."

hookitt 1 #65 January 6, 2005 Quote1. I was at high risk of having being bit because I was sleeping. Out of curiosity, why do you think you were at high risk of being bit? Bats don't randomly bite sleeping humans. Humans tend to realize whether or not a bite to the skin has occured. Did you worry that you were bitten and didn't know it? If there's one bat there are more, so good luck with that.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #66 January 6, 2005 QuoteIf there's one bat there are more, so good luck with that. Yaa and they've contacted their vampire cousins! Dude you bat murderer!! They going to exact revenge on yo azz! Bats are like the Italian mafios of the flying mamal species.
