    The way I have been feeling since last Friday, I think the game is more like Russian Roulette. My problem is I keep pulling the trigger and cannot find the chamber with the bullet ....... oh heck one more try and I might be lucky.

    This is, in fact, a pretty good description of an electronic version of Whack-a-Mole! I am fascinated that others also like the Whack-a-Mole image. I have used it myself, several times--mostly in discussing the strategy of bashing the immune system.

    I am getting very concerned about you Al, this whacking moles seems to be getting a bit close to some form of bdsm kink. All just because the poor thing wants to make little hills all over your lawn.

    Might be kinky, Jim, but, actually, i was taking the varmints' side in this. Down with whacking! After all, those hills suggest that it is too dangerous to mow the darned lawn....

    Ahhh that is a crafty plan you have there Al.

    My neighbour mowed his lawns last weekend. If the rain holds off and I can muster the energy I had better do mine, of course having a few moles would be useful!
