Once you puncture any pipes, you & your tank are decommissioned.

Whack-a-mole has never been so much fun!

Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. A man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit – ever. They’re like the Viet Cong – Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.

Tanks a lot for getting rid of the gophers.

The tank wasn’t that expensive; it was the shipping that was a bit**.

The size of the rounds is going to play havoc with the yard. I think he’s been watching Tim the Tool Man a little too much.

What do those things gopher on eBay?

Another groundhog that never saw his shadow.

Russia needs the money. You can get a T-90 for quite a bargin.

A bit of overkill. But more fun than a 22.

Where’s Carl Spackler when you need him?

Wow, this guy went ballistic!

He should have bought the WWII version used to clear bunkers in the Pacific, but the fire insurance rates probably were too high.

That’s one way to deal with the HOA.

Reminds me of the Python bit where they were hunting mosquitos with a bazooka.

Cool!
