Re: Squirrel Hoarding

1. I don't have squirrels.
2. If I do have squirrels, I don't lock them indoors.


.... just kidding ... now back to topic.

The more humans I meet, the more I like squirrels!

So exactly how many squirrels don't you have?

And how many of those squirrels that you don't have, aren't locked indoors by you?

But to be a successful squirrel hunter you have to know a maple from an oak, a hickory from a poplar.

That's good to know - looks like I won't be catching any squirrels anytime soon.

So of these squirrels that you've been hunting, how many haven't you caught?

And of those squirrels that you haven't caught, how many aren't being locked indoors by you?

Re: Squirrel Hoarding

Are we talking Grey Squirrels or Red Squirrels here?

There is a big difference between the two.

It would need a separate thread of its own.

Since when do we discriminate on basis of colour, creed and tree preference?

Equal rights for all squirrels!

Thanks for the recipes, burglar
Sadly, there aren't any squirrels in Australia. Would some of the recipes "work" for local pests too? Witchetty grubs maybe? They have a very nutty flavour...

btw, Why did you edit your OP?
I found the reference to four dog defences pretty amusing.

Hi pixel,

I did not edit the OP.

That quote comes from a different thread.
(where it was well off-topic).

Re: Squirrel Hoarding

Can anyone direct me to the story of ChewYourNuts and the Three Squirrels?

I can't quite remember how the story goes and would like to refresh my memory.

Well if you had not, you should have. There is too much ** ***** * *********** ***.

burglar, I am shocked, shocked to the core. I may even take up religion again as a result.

ps

Can you repost it on this thread.

Apologies for the misinformation, the story is entitled "GobbleYourNuts and the Three Squirrels". Please forgive my foggy memory.

No it didn't (at least not anything that would pass the ASF censorship rules), but if my memory serves me correctly it starts with "Once upon a time there were..."

By the way, if one doesn't happen to have any squirrels on hand, is it possible to substitute o'possums with those recipes?

The reason I ask is because there happens to be a band of o'possums that regularly congregate in my attic to perform their heavy metal jam sessions. As I am no fan of that particular musical genre, I am usually unable to sleep throughout the cocaphony. So instead of sleeping I have to content myself by sharing this misery with others (i.e. trading the FTSE and annoying the heck out of ASF posters).

Isn't it amazing how concatenation of a sentence can totally alter perception?

"A traditional method of preparation is baking, sometimes in a pie or pastry, though at present "possum pie" most often refers to a sweet confection containing no meat of any kind."

No possum in O'possum pie! What's this world coming to?

I think it's about time we started a campaign to put the O'posssum back into O'possum pie!

Until we do, I'm never going to get a sound night's sleep!

You need to talk to "Animal Welfare" regarding the borrowing of an humane trap.
You shouldn't be discharging a musket in your ceiling space,
as it may raise dust and bird mite!

Re: Squirrel Hoarding

I'd still like some clarification on whether we are talking about Red Squirrels or Grey Squirrels.
