I just got seriously buzzed by a bat as I was cooking up some dinner on the grill. It's not even that dark yet. I saw him circling around and then he suddenly dove at me! I just need to make sure he doesn't make it into the house since we leave the back door open for the dog to go in and out.

I got hit by a bat once. I had to get rabies shots...not fun.

Yeah I had one almost kamikaze (sp?) me out at our new house, those things are crazy.

this thread is hilarious.... this morning i opened one of the garage doors to get a wrench out and a bat came flying after me it scared the living **** outta me the funniest part is i hit it when it came chuck norris style :P and the 2 cats that live outside just pounced on the thing and ripped it apart

Good story with bats right here:

I was 10 years old... i was in my room upstairs with the window open. I think I was reading a book for school and my bedroom light was "flickering"... no, it was a bat flying around!!! So I did a swandive on the floor with the phone and rolled under my bed and did the 550 trick (before the whole area code thing, u dial 550 and the last 4 digits of your phone, hang up, turn it back on, and hang up and it'll call back your house) . With that trick, the our phone rang, I picked it up and my mom picked up cuz she was downstairs (whole part of the trick) . So i told her about the bat in my room, and my dad which was bagged at the time with a dozen beers, comes up to my room with a broom. Now this was a funny site, he swung at it once almost falling over, he said "Steeerike 1" ... he swung again, missed, fell on the ground and said "Steeeeerike 2" ... third time, he swung, the bat was hit and died on the spot and he said "Hooooooome run" ... he then picked it up with a broom + dustpan, and flushed it down the toilet!!!!!

Next day we painted my room to make sure rabies wasnt anywhere lmao.

My 2 year old whacked me in the knees with a wiffle bat the other day, does that count?

the most fun solution for bats is to get a few rocks and a tennis racket. flip a rock up in the air and when the bat follows it see if you can get it all the way into the neighbors yard :)

I usually use the tennis rackets on the carpenter bees that took residence outside my house. I can clear the yard with a good hit if they are big enough

I try to hit them with a wiffle bat. That is harder than it sounds.

BATMAN RETURNS!!!!LOL

i used to do the same thing with carpenter bees and tennis rackets but i found that badmittin (sp) work better because they are a bit longer and threaded closer together so you could hit smaller ones :}

wiffle ball bats work great on wasps and hornets. they ae small and tough to get, but they are pretty solid and fly well when you make contact :)

F bees, i punch bees in the face

NICE!

"i mean, if your walking and you hear a bunch of bees in a bush ..... don't go near that bush"

Have you ever thrown a huge rock into a huge beehive? I have, and it looked like a cartoon, a swarm came out, I ran, my hat flew off, and they all dive bombed it LMAO

mmhmm ... when i was working at a school some idiot speared one with a broomstick and they came after me. Im darting across the parking like stripping my shirt off ........

awesome stories... esp. noah cuz of the visual hahahahaha

I climbed up a tree that had a hornets nest in it when I was a kid(like 200 years ago). I had no idea there was a nest in the tree but suddenly I kept getting these little stabs and realized something wasn't right. I literally fell 25-30 feet to the ground bouncing off branches and got up and ran away! Kids!

Now if it was like flying killer horses, thats some scary ****!!


we always have bats in our house, my mom is scared to death of them its hilarious. one night i was over my friends house, it was dark inside and we thought a bird was flying around his dining room. it came into the living room and we were like dude thats not a bird, its a bat! then i proceeded to try and knock it down with a magazine. it was a pretty funny night

you know that's not supposed to happen right

really? :lol:
