We have LOADS of beggar squirrels along the greenbelt in Boise. Those little nut *****s come running up to anybody who even looks at them. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't squirrels out there who get over half their annual calories from handouts. People walk with bags of peanuts and other things for them, so begging is a pretty viable life style.
Well, doggone, I didn't realize that word was restricted.
So they are pan handler squirrels. Guess they will soon be at every freeway off ramp and street corner with signs... Homeless, can you spare any nuts?Quote:

FD where have you been? I haven't seen you around these parts in a while.
Well....they are at street corners...and elsewhere in the street, though they are usually pretty flat at that point. Other than that, they don't bother with those low value locations. They accost people out for a walk. They're fox squirrels, too, which seems to mean that they mostly feed the foxes, but they are about the same size as the gray squirrels in the east, though the color is more like a red squirrel.Quote:

I haven't been away. I'm perhaps posting a little less because my clients actually seem to want me to do some work for my money now (I view this as totally unreasonable but they're the ones holding the folding) but I'm surprised it's dropped off enough for anyone to notice. Still it's nice to be missed :)Quote:

Speaking of which, welcome back Arrow_Raider. There's a lil' monkey mug we haven't seen in ages.
I herby declare a new word "thare" which will be used in place of those not knowing which to use out of: there, their, or they're.
Thare over thare with thare fancy hats.
The Brits would never go for it, but that never stopped us from simplifying the spelling of words before.Quote:

My wife likes NASCAR. I on the other hand think it is just a rediculous "sport"
Did I use it correctly back in post 62576?Quote:

I never stress spelling.
