A squirrel broke into my home about 2 weeks ago. My dad left the kitchen window open a little too far, which probably wouldn't had been a problem if they didn't feed the guy on that windowsill. Anyways I guess he got curious and in the process of coming in knocked the window closed. He was pretty easy to get out though.

In his initial panic he broke a few things, and had a close encounter with my dog, but I still see him out on that windowsill every morning. :)

My parents have had issues with bird feeders being less than the 'squirrel proof' they advertise. They have one that has a pole in the ground, then a downward umbrella a bit like a dog's cone of shame on it. The squirrels would still manage to climb the skinny pole and reach out and get around it. My father then greased up the pole. I think that finally worked.

Oh I was walking by. They were holding a gun to his head and said they also had a bomb rigged on his parent's car for good measure.

50 cents for Shining Force is ridiculous. You should have sold it on Ebay. I don't care how much you wanted Kirby, that was just dumb.

You could've made substantially more money on that game, even selling it locally yourself. Can't grasp why you'd sell it for .50 if you knew it sold for $20. Sure it can be a bit of a bother to sell something, but still. :?
