I caught a flying squirrel in my house. They're nicer than ordinary squirrels. Well-behaved.

This would lead one to believe there are no "country squirrels".

"He has woken up to find a squirrel sitting on his bed... "
When I was at FSU in the sixties, many a morning I would wake up wishing for the same thing.

Bad news Poop Dogg - I caught 20 flying squirrels in my house this year. They do NOT hang out alone.
On the plus side, I have a great flying squirrel chili recipe if you're interested.

"she was suddenly hit by something small and furry."
Some men would be delighted to be hit by somthing small and furry!

The squirrel had apparently been sitting on his keyboard gnawing through a bag of chips, and "somehow managed to press enter" after typing a jumble of letters and a long line of zeros into a text box.
So if you fill a room with squirrels and feed them potato chips, do you end up with a DB column?

Maybe this explains Bodzhang's "posts".

"I try not to walk so close to the garbage cans" anymore, she said.
There's a nice, realistic resolution for a college student to take up.

"was holding onto my jacket pocket, so I was pretty much standing there shaking it off and freaking out."
"mating season in full swing "
"try to migrate towards the buildings and try to find a place to nest"
"feasted on snack foods"
"eat the dry Ramen noodles and the cereal"
"are "opportunists" and will eat almost anything"
"foraging machines"
"sitting on his keyboard gnawing through a bag of chips"
"They eat trash"
"They can be a fire hazard"
And the difference squirrels and college students grows thinner.

erm..."the difference between..."

Marvelous, Marvin

Marvelous Marvin wbagnfa children's show

Jeff - good point.
And, it's not as if dressing up as a squirrel and leaping out of trashcans onto college girls is the lamest way I've ever tried to date.
Hell, it doesn't even make the top ten lamest, for me.
Posted by: Christobol | February 25, 2005 at 06:22 AM
Who would have thought you could find squirrels at a college. They referred to the squirrel's act of stealing snacks as a crime. Maybe they should pass another law making it a crime for squirrels to jump out of trash cans - that'll show 'em.

Let's see... a frat house with crumbling ceilings and damaged electrical wiring...
Sure it's squirrels.

My university campus was crawling with squirrels as well. They used to act a little crazy on days that were really foggy or cloudy. This may have called for an investigation of some sorts, but I had drinking to do.
Squirrel Opportunists/Opportunist Squirrels, wbagnf something...

First cats now squirrels. It's an epidemic.
Posted by: opiesgirl | February 25, 2005 at 09:45 AM
Maybe the students should start carrying guns like they do in schools here in California

A squirrel is nothing more that a large rat with a long furry tail. However, they are delicious, and go well with mashed potatoes and gravy.

... a jumble of letters and long line of zeroes into a text box ...
Whew! Sure glad that was attributed to Bozdahang ... thot fer shure you'd all think it's more like my usual entries ...

I grew up in So. California, where the smog has wiped out what little native fauna once existed. Nothing is left but little brown sparrows, and pigeons which are nothing but rats with wings. Down there the air is brown, the water is brown, the landscape is brown, the birds area brown, it's like some sci-fi post-nuclear movie.
This has left me with a soft spot for all small furry creatures, no matter how annoying... *moves away from Jeff and C'bol*

"But stealing snacks is not the only crime that squirrels have committed on campus."
There are just too many jokes one could base on that line...
Posted by: Mike B. | February 26, 2005 at 08:26 PM
That's nothing, I tell you. I once had a wet, muddy raccoon that came in through the cat-door, sitting on my chair, unwrapping and eating Easter candies. I had to get a broom after Rocky.Sowwy if this posted twice.

This makes me extremely nervous. I mean, what will happen in bird matting season will it be like the movie THE BIRDS? Or will it happen with bunnies?
IF so no carrots are safe shaped humans are safe.

Posted by: jeremy badaher | December 05, 2005 at 09:53 AM
