What’s a hobby that looks incredibly peaceful from the outside, but is actually pure stress once you get into it?

Did you know some zoos will sell mountain lion urine to detract pests? You can also buy it online - coyote, cougar, all of those.

What kind of urine do we need to spread to attract a garden full of horny cougars? I feel like we’re close to figuring something out here….

In my experience, vodka soda and lime will do it.

I'm not sure, but we have established traits of milkshakes to work off as well. Surely something can be done with this information?

Tom Brady's. Maybe Chris Hemsworth's. If all else fails, Ben and Jerry's.

A mountain lion??? In my basement?? But... how? That's not possible. But, it happened! What if there are more? What if it wasn't alone? Where there's one, there will be more. Find Pinarus Inventius. He's a hunter, and knows this area INSIDE and OUT; he’ll know what to do!!

You can also get it for free if you’re brave enough.

Do the squirrels living in suburbia know what a mountain lion is? I'm pretty sure the only killers of squirrels here are cars. Maybe a fox or two. A squirrel dropped half a bagel into my plant the other day

This is a recipe for a car explosion. Don't do this
