We are lousy with armadilli here in Alabama.
Whenever I see a deader along the roadside (is it's fresh killed) it is so easy to rubber band a beer can to one of it's front legs and flip it over on it's back so it will look like it drank itself to death. (bright silver Coors beer cans show up best)

No armadillos here. Too far north.

But tell me, since you seem to think that's what one does with one, what's it like?
