Be advised that blogging is light today as a result of light blogging. Be further advised that, over in Northumberland, they are building bridges for squirrels. This blog wants to know:
What are they going to provide for squirrels next? Toupees?

Nope, not toupees. But on Jimmel Kimmel last night, Karl Malone (pronounced: "Karlmalone", 2 syllables) provided a squirrel with its very own bumper! Anyone else see that?

They will provide tiny homes and lawnmowers as well.
And water skis already exist.

"In addition to the natural losing and replacing of hair, squirrels are subject to diseases that can lead to hair loss.
One is squirrel pox."
The terrorists will stop at nothing.

Squirrels, however, are lobbying for machine guns.

And tiny tablets of Lipitor!

There are a lot of squirrels where I live and I can tell you right now that for every squirrel that uses the rope bridges, at least two will risk the road ... and be so indecisive about it that they end up as pancakes anyway.

Is it wrong of me that at first I read that, due to blurry contacts, as "building bidets for squirrels"?
And would that (Bidets for Squirrels) BAGNFARG?

Squirrels are evil, especially the red ones. When I was in college, there were tons and they used to chase you around the green. They bit if you let them get too close. I hope they continue to take the road.

& somewhere, some young red squirrels in backward baseball caps are being lectured by an old gray (ha!) squirrel about why in his day, the only way to cross the street was to use the telephone wires & by god, they were glad to have 'em!

In retrospect, "funny" should really read "very stupid, childish, and weird. But thats why we're part of this Dave's blog community, right?

the letter mentioned 'timorous growths' on the squirrels, isn't that an oxymoron ?
Posted by: insomniac | April 12, 2005 at 02:50 PM
... produced a red squirrel keepsake ...
Do they put colored sparkles on the "keepsake"?
Posted by: U.O | April 12, 2005 at 03:29 PM
My bad ...
I meant, Do they put glitter and epoxy on the "keepsake"?
Posted by: U.O | April 12, 2005 at 03:36 PM
Apparently, not flying squirrels.
Posted by: slyeyes | April 12, 2005 at 04:07 PM
a timorous (timid) squirrel, whodathunkit?
Posted by: sct72 | April 13, 2005 at 09:48 AM
"many have large timorous growths on their faces."
It's not the squirrels who are timorous - it's the growths. Or, alternately, their faces. I think timorous growths duck behind the nose when you look at them.
