• Cute little critters...pretty tasty too! Be careful handling them or cooking them though, besides leprosy they often carry Hepatitis C and B.

  • Tastes like chicken on the half shell.

    • Yummy, leprosy-infused chicken.

      • Yum.....How about we sell them all to some Muslim country as an alternative to pork? Leprosy/hepatitis infused Armored dildo meat....

        • And blow hep c everywhere when they suicide? No thNks!

        • LOL, Amazing where these threads go sometimes.

        • Its like free association!

        • Mooochelle might be interested in fried armored dildo.

• Why did the chicken cross the road?

  To show the armadillo it could be done.

• 3 am. I su s pect theshooter was not exactly in his best condition to be shooting anything.

• The guy obviously got a shellacking.

  • By a half bottle of Black Jack?

  • "Hey, when I bought this gun they said it had no recoil."

    • They meant if your drunk enough to shoot one, there is no recall

• LMOAO...This clown was probably using a little girls gun, like a .22, to shoot at an armored critter.

• Speaking of Texas cannonballs...

  • Also known as the speed-bump of the south.

    • I was told that the current theory is that they are born dead on the side of the road.

    • They do look an awful lot like those reflective turtles that they use as lane markers.

• Oh Texas, never change . . .

• When I was living in Tx. my BFF went with me to this Texas store in the mall, to get some Texas goodies to put in a care package to Iraq. As we were standing at the counter to check out, I could 'feel' something 'staring' at me. I looked up and it was a humongous stuffed armadillo, that was standing up, and wearing a Hawaiian print shirt and a safari hat. We could not stop laughing, and had it not been $400, I would have bought it.

  • I saw that! Was it this one

    • The only problem with the first pic, is that it should be a Lone Star beer bottle with him.

    • No, she saw a stuffed animal armadillo. Theyare everywhe r e in Texas tourist traps!

• I also heard something today that said armadillos carry leprosy, and recent cases had the common link of handling armadillos. I didn't even know that crap was still around, let alone in this country.

  I'd say the word to the wise would be to just let them Texas cannonballs be...

  • True story. They also destroy yards, gardens, etc rooting for food.

    • Cripes, they sound incorrigible. They always looked kind of laid-back and cute to me.

      • They are cute, and generallly don't mess with people. But every now and again you get some idiot who tries t have one as a pet. They are not well suited for confinement.

• I'm surprised no one heard him mutter "Ya all watch this", just before he took the shot.

  • Ya'all hold my beer and watch this..... :)

    • "Look Ma, no hands!"
