(This is only a slight exaggeration--squirrels don't smoke.)
Snow squirrels, however, are not white--see what i mean--squirrely.
This boy scored a shelled walnut--i'd say somebody's lunch is gonna come up short.
The Carolina squirrel is so goofy, she don't know if she's black or white.
Even the babies instinctively use their "hands."
Squirrels show as little respect for the law of gravity as they do humans.
But America is
fighting back ! ! !
Some squirrels are too lazy to walk, so they fly.
They have absolutely no problem stealing your food right from under your nose.
Lol - I knew full well about the squiggle!!!!
I could not believe she was ignorant.
This is the same friend who got me mugged in the subway, by failing to note the extremely obvious and dangerous situation developing at the token seller's - which led me to get exact change ready, and secrete the rest of my money far far away from the grasp of unknown and crazy men. I assumed that she had done the same. Just as I warily proffered my money, she suddenly asked me to pay for her, too. Since I did not want my money available to snatching, insanely angry and drunken hands, I grabbed whatever note was uppermost, and this led to the unfortunate incident of the fella grabbing my money.
I only discovered a short time ago that she STILL did not realise what she had done - and had actually thought that the man GAVE my money back - rather than me having wrestled it off him, and deflected his consequent charge with a well aimed knee.
Sheesh.
(She is a dear and otherwise intelligent friend, though)
We had a very funny squirrel incident in Washington DC, in the Mall.
I had purchased a coconut icecream - as it was a very hot day.
A hot squiggle came and begged. I handed it a segment of icecream - figuring nuts is nuts.
Our squiggle friend adored the tidbit - but found it cold.
His li'l hands became frozen - so, chittering in an agitated way, he stored it in his teeth - and put his arms out and shook his hands in a stunned kind of way. His teeth, in turn, became cold - he returned the treat to his hands - and looked at us in a trapped kind of way.
Eventually, I offered to hold it for him. He accepted - and enjoyed hs cold treat, with intervals to warm up his hands and teeth!
It was hilarious!
Did he get that 'brain-freeze' thing and his widdle eyes sort of cross and he went 'oooh-ooh-ooh!!'? I'm not really interested - I just want to see what other kind of 'small-mammal' miscelllanea we can get........ Oooh, that reminds of the time a pygmy possum impersonated Deb and was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Adelaide....
OK, it was Edith Cowan University - but that's NOT THE POINT!
Didn't hit him in the ggoglies, neither - just deflected him.
Yer mad.
He would not be Mr. Pondquility were he not mad, and we should not love him half so much.
The story of the squirrel and the ice cream was a knee-slapper, Miss Wabbit, i was laughing out loud.
Edit: Ooops, sorry, i'll try to remember to use only screen names, or references to avatars in future.
Hey; I drop in to see a wrangle over the National Anthem (is too - is not - did too - did not) and I find a lovely thread, about squirrels and nuts and things. Very nice.
Re: 61% of Americans don't know words to National Anthem?
Who cares about the national anthem just a bunch bull. You dont need to know the national Anthem to live in America.
Hmmm - national anthi and nuts and squirrels go well together, I opine.
It's a conspiracy. Start a thread nobody will read, then party on without a worry the uninvited will crash in.
Are we partying? In that case, I need a drink. Anyone got a nut?
