I really enjoy watching squirrels.
Once I was going down the street near my home when I noticed a cat chasing a squirrel.
The squirrel jumped onto a tree and scrambled around the other side while the cat was in the chase.
When I stopped and looked at them, I didn't say anything — just looked, they stopped in their tracks, one on each side of the tree about 4 or 5 foot off the ground, and were looking straight back at me as if to say: "We're not being bad.... Honest!"
In less than a minute the cat recovered its need to be cool and disinterested whenever humans are about and so sauntered away in no particular hurry. Whereupon the squirrel shot up to a low lying tree limb and chattered noisily in obvious triumph.
Though a meaningless gesture, I told that squirrel that it owed me big time.
It just chattered loudly some more.

I keep wondering where to get those, as the BF keeps talking about them... I forget why. But he does.optimusskids wrote:Did you miss out on Walkers Cajun Squirrel flavour crisp then?
I wonder if squirrels taste like bunny rabbit. I like bunny rabbit- they're fuzzy and fun to hug, and they taste good!
I'll tell you what I hate- I hate seagulls. They are fry-stealing divebombing bastards.

This is a black squirrel from Georgia and they are huge. When I used to work for a city municipality, I had never seen a squirrel this large, almost a foot tall on it's hind legs. They would bow up at you too, often running like they wanted to charge you. Aggressive little fellers.
I like squirrels too. We don't have many around where I live, but I used to feed the squirrels and ducks at the park. Some are so docile when people are around, they expect to be fed and will come right up to you.
One time this guy on our work truck found a baby squirrel and put it in the truck in a shoe box. It was hilarious when he left it in the truck and came back 5 minutes later and the squirrel was not in the box. We started driving and all we could hear was the baby squeaks. We found it under the seat and it bit him. I laughed at his dumb arse and he was afraid of getting rabies. We had to take him in to get a rabies shot. He did let the squirrel go in the park.

Yup - nary a one. It was Builder's Breakfast everywhere... Perhaps the squirrels ate them...optimusskids wrote:Did you miss out on Walkers Cajun Squirrel flavour crisp then?
And, which makes it worse, I live near the godsdamn Walkers factory at Beaumont Leys.

Bacon is okay. I had some yesterday. I still can't get used to the amount of grease involved in preparing most things cow or pig, though. Elk or Bison is so much better for it, though I find Bison a bit too strong for my tastes. Good in burger form though, barely any grease.
Um, Squirrel.
