Boomwhackers
This video was presented as "bro's night out," which makes it seem like a silly game, but watch and listen. These guys are making serious music! Well, maybe not 'serious' music, it's the theme from Knight Rider followed by the theme from The Flintstones, but they do it well.
They are playing musical instruments called boomwhackers, or tubes that are tuned to a musical pitch to be played like bells. The group is Louie's Cage Percussion, made up of classically-trained musicians from Austria.
Named after the Monkey King Louie and the composer John Cage, this percussion group consists of six talented young musicians in their twenties. They are some of the youngest members of renowned Austrian orchestras including the Vienna Volksoper, the Lower Austria Tonkuenstler Orchestra and the Graz Opera and play all repertoires of classical music. Besides their studies of classical music, they have always been interested in jazz, rock and electronic music and have played in various bands and broadened their knowledge of various musical genres.
You can get an idea of how boomwhackers work from an extended cut of one of their practice sessions. Now watch a stage performance from Louie's Cage Percussion.

Anyhow squirrels were the bane of her existence, because they will take two bites of a plum, and throw it on the ground, then grab another plum, and so on until they get tired of wasting fruit.
Squirrels are rats with furry tails. Sure, they are cute, but the net effect is about the same as crows, locusts, or weevils. At least someone has found an (arguably) amusing use for these pests.
"your stupid and live in a cave."
Really now?
But seriously, I think it's funny. I'm not a fan of stuffing dead animals, but to each their own.
I lol'd.
I deleted a comment because it used personal insults. I don't allow that in my comment threads.
The most common complaint that I deal with regarding squirrels is that they have invaded an attic or crawlspace. They will often chew a hole to get inside. Mother squirrels bear young twice a year, and they love to use an attic as a nest. Once inside the home, they chew, causing damage to wood, electrical lines, which can create a fire hazard. We always recommend humane trapping and relocation. One way exit traps rarely work for squirrel removal because they can simply chew right back inside.
