Squirrels Gone Bad

It’s enough to give you nightmares. Or at least the Willies, which is almost as bad as the heebie-jeebies. Consider how we’ve treated squirrels. We hunt them, eat them, fling them, erect barriers against them, exterminate them, and make fun of them on the web. I’ve been guilty of at least the last one. The most common Google search term that brings people to this site is “drunk squirrel”. How can they help but have revenge on their puny little minds? Individual acts of  warfare by squirrels against humans have already begun. Sooner or later, they are going to band together. When that happens, mankind is doomed.

My favorite squirrel is Scrat from the Ice Age movies. See him (still chasing an acorn) in his own animated short.

The burning question is: How lethal is squirrel saliva?

More anti-squirrel devices.

Scotland is overrun with gray squirrels. Official must decide whether to give them contraceptives or “cranial dispatch”.


REVENGE

There's a man trying to cross the street. As he steps off the curb a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and is still coming at him.

So the man turns around to go back, but the car changes lanes again and is still coming at him.

By now, the car is so close and the man so scared that he just freezes and stops in the middle of the road. The car gets real close, then swerves at the last possible moment and screeches to a halt right next him.

The driver rolls down the window.

The driver is a squirrel.

The squirrel says to the man says, "See, it's not as easy as it looks, is it?"

Where do the fantods fit into that continuum?

OMG, I hate squirrels! I have written about them before. They ate half the wiring and roof at my Mom's house.

Squirrels. Can't live with them, can't let them go in the morning without a big tip and cabfare.

By the way, MissC, see if you can track down the scene from Scrubs in which the Janitor holds his nightly stuffed squirrel convention...

I remember that Scrubs. That was seriously demented.

I remember one day when Angus was young, and I caught him barking like crazy at a tree in our backyard. Looking up in the tree, I saw a squirrel on a branch, and I thought he was just barking at it for fun. Then I saw that squirrel pick up an acorn, take very careful aim with both hands, and throw it down at Angus' head.

I let him bark away.

Some things are just squirrly.

How about a post on straws? The symbol for suck it up. You know everyewhere you go almost in NYC you get straws. Like how you only get sweet tea in the south, Coke in Atlanta and Pepsi in Winston-Salem.

I just had to think of something you haven't covered. How about Dr. Pepper.

I don't know how common this is, but this bridge has been keeping squirrels out from under tires for as long as I can remember.

Squirrels recently ate most of the hoses and the wiring harness out of my car. $1100 later, I am less than fond of the little blighters.
