Squirrel Clearly Drawn To The Innate Eviltude In This Halloween Mask

From Sun-Gazing.com. Thanks to Alex von Thorne for alerting me to this somewhat sequence of images.

It's obvious that the squirrel's True Nature was drawn to this mask ("it callsssss to me..."). And now I'm going to go to bed with images of a squirrel army wearing these masks as they invade. Thanks so much, Alex!

Squirrel Reconnaissance plus evidence of their unearthly powers of survival

At first I felt sorry for this squirrel because I thought it didn't want to be indoors, but then I realized that WAITASEC, he was CLEARLY just doing reconnaissance before the inevitable first invasion wave. Thanks to Ryan Couldrey for the link.

Sure, it's all fun and games now. Meanwhile, that squirrel's going to be taking his waterskiing skills and using them to train his Evil Cohorts in preparation for the water access phase of their Master Plan To Take Over The World.

Thanks to Rytron for the link.

Meme: Cover Squirrel

Several readers have forwarded this cover squirrel pic to me, which has been making the rounds in social media:

I haven't been able to find where this image was first posted. Cute. Even though it's of a vicious red squirrel!

Buddha Squirrel and aftermath

I've been seeing this image circulating for a while now:

When Robin Nakkula tagged me on FB about this image, I couldn't resist responding with the following quickie Photoshop job:

Song: The Squirrels Are Taking Over

The Squirrels Are Taking Over

By Debbie Ridpath Ohi, Mar/2008

Performed by Urban Tapestry

Listen to Urban Tapestry practising "The Squirrels Are Taking Over" in Allison's living room

(Lead vocal & guitar: Allison Durno, Jodi & I sing backup vocals. Boyfriend bits are yelled by yours truly :-)) 

     Am                        G

When we moved in, we loved the neighbourhood

     F                      Am G F

We couldn't have asked for more

       Am        G             

Though I admit I kinda wondered 'bout the

F                G

crucifix on each door.

    Am                G

We planted roses, revamped the roof, the

F                     Am        G   F

future was looking bright, but then we

Am                     G

started hearing the strangest noises

F                       G

behind the walls at night...

CHORUS:

C                 Am

The squirrels are takin' over, they've

C                    Am

killed my plants and eaten Rover, my

F                                 F

postman used to think they were cute

             C 

but now he's gone (gone gone gone)

         G                    F                C

They're coming for me now, I think it won't be long.

    Am              G

One morning we saw Mrs. S.

      F                         Am G F

Our next door neighbour, she's sweet!

   Am                     G

We waved but I guess she didn't see us

    F                 G

as she ran down the street.

     Am              G

Suddenly we noticed something weird,

    F                          Am  G F

a seething mass of black and brown

     Am            G

and then the Evil Squirrel Horde took

F                   G

Mrs. Scuridopolous down.

CHORUS:

C                 Am  

The squirrels are takin' over, they've

C                    Am

killed my plants and eaten Rover, my

F                                 F

neighbour used to think they were cute

               C 

but now she's gone (gone gone gone)

         G                    F                C

They're coming for me now, I think it won't be long.

 

    F              G

We boarded up the windows

    C              Am

put garlic on the door

    F            G

Yet every day we found more scratches

     F                     G

and peanut shells on the floor.

          F                     G

"This is stupid," my boyfriend said, "Squirrels are

C                       Am  

harmless and that's a fact!

     F                G

I'm going outside to check things out

      F                    G

Stay here...I'LL BE RIGHT BACK."

CHORUS:

C                 Am

The squirrels are takin' over, they've

C                    Am

killed my plants and eaten Rover, my

F                                 F

boyfriend used to think they were cute

               C 

but now he's gone (gone gone gone)

         G                    F                C

They're coming for me now, I think it won't be long

         G                    F                

They're coming for me now -- (music stops abruptly)

Squirrel Coffee Cup

Check out the Archive McPhee Squirrel Coffee Cup that my friend Cathy brought me Edmonton. 

Yikes!

I checked out the Archie McPhee website out of curiosity. Whoa, some scary stuff there! Like these Squirrel Underpants:

One of my fave squirrel mugs: "One by one, the squirrels steal my sanity."

Thanks to Heather Borean, who gave me this mug ages ago. Still makes me smile every time I use it. :-)
