If it’s a problem, put dried chillis in there. The birds won’t react to them, unlike deer and squirrels

Well there is a big illuminated reindeer sign out the front. Is your restaurant open for business?

[alboalt]

My neighbor had that happen, too. But with a bear.

Fair is fair! i often put peanuts out for the squirrels to keep them out of my bird feeder.

Just remember to wash your hands afterwards.

Oh yeah. I have done that washing the dishes after a spicy meal.

Off topic.

I don’t know where else to ask this, but why am I getting so much more ad crap on Boing Boing than I used to? It’s making me nucking futz!

My dad worked in a lab and said you could tell the chemists from the physicists by whether they washed their hands before they used the restroom or after. (He was a chemist; no, I didn’t ask.)

Right! Because mammals never decide that the pain of capsaicin is worth the nibble.

The Gray Tail Gang didn’t bother my saffron bulbs when they were on the parking strip, but when I moved them next to the driveway the furry fucks dug them all up.

Seeing male coworkers do the happy jalapeño dance was always a great source of amusement in kitchens I have worked in.
