DORKING?
Crazying might be more accurate.

I would not want to be the person who ran over him.

My 15-year-old daughter is learning to drive, and she was disconsolate after running over a chipmunk last weekend. Compassionate father that I am, it was all I could do to keep from laughing until tears ran down my face (at her reaction, not at the crushed chipmunk).

Apparently, Dave has an iron-clad alibi.

Five years is geezerhood for a squirrel. It may have been assisted suicide.
Posted by: Ralph | November 06, 2009 at 05:06 PM
5 years is indeed very long life for a squirrel. It may have started to go deaf and blind, or been unable to move quickly across the road.

Looks like the transfigured squirrel messiah.

We Naperville squirrels are deeply saddened by the untimely death of our Dorking brother/sister of the furry tail. May he/she ever roam in the fairy-park of the eternal churchyard and... did they serve him/her with potatoes or with rice?

Traditional English Joke:
"Do you like Dorking?"
"Dunno, I've never dorked...."

For those interested:
Dork has a second meaning. Though I have encountered co-workers that fit both definitions.
dork /dɔrk/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [dawrk]
–noun Slang.
1. a stupid or ridiculous person; jerk; nerd.
2. Vulgar. penis.

i'm dreaming of a white squirrrrrrel
just like the browns i used to mow...down
where the entrails glisten
the children wishin'
to hear slaying in the road
i'm dreaming of a white squirrrrrrrel
with every chrysler car i buy
may your ways be wary, they bite
and may all
your squrirrel stews be white

A Brit friend of mine moved back to England and took an apartment in Dorking. I accused him pf picking the place for the name.

*snork* @ crossgirl!
These people need to get a life. Sheesh.

One winter, three squirrels chose to adopt our family. "Lady" would climb on our window AC and check if we were in the kitchen. If so, she would jump up and down until we noticed her. Our youngest daughter would take peanuts out to her. Lady always took the peanuts from her hand. She was never aggressive. We called her "Lady" because she was polite.
She would also stretch out and sleep on our deck railing when we were out there. We think she felt safe.

Still you don't regret a single day.

*tap-tap-tap*
Is this thing on?
Meanie, I waited way too long for that jpg to load.
I'm following my World Champion Jaguars against the Chiefs. Hope many of you happened to be watching the Fox Pre Game show, from Afghanistan. Terry Bradshaw launched into a full voice rendition of God Bless America that was terrific!
Last night, I went to our local redneck watering hole to watch my Gators. The place is...different. The Pre Game there featured a bow and arrow contest, with the target a CD stuck on the side of the DJ/Karoke booth, at the far end. I allowed to the bartender that I had never seen such a thing. He said, "We get better, once the karaoke guy gets here!"
Posted by: CJrun | November 08, 2009 at 01:42 PM
It probably loaded, CJ, but you may have missed its point/joke.
Or maybe it was just a bad joke.
Posted by: Meanie the Highly Improbable | November 08, 2009 at 02:09 PM
I got it, Meanie. I wuz jes bein' obtuse. That way, otherz wud try loading it, just to neener at me.
Posted by: CJrun | November 08, 2009 at 02:18 PM
I got it Meanie. Good one! Sunny and 75 here today.
Posted by: nursecindy | November 08, 2009 at 03:11 PM
It's cloudy and windy here, today. For evidence, see here. Assuming that works. I've never tried a link to a fb photo, before.

Watch out for the MN crazies, Dave...
Oh,OK, I imagine by now, you are back in Miami, where crazy is just another day in the life...
And, may no Pythons be in your backyard.....

We have a town (Exeter, Ontario, Canada) where all the squirrels are albino. Perhaps we could arrange emigration papers.
