What to do with dead squirrel?

[The Daring Dufas]

Uh, don't you have to skin and clean it first? I hate picking fur out of my teeth.

It's called hardware cloth.

Good grief, man. In Berkeley, CA a dead ant is "really effed up".

It's the capital of Crazy. A city that declared Marines unwelcome and banned Marine recruitment within the city borders until the lure of some Federal funds proved more attractive than their "principles".

One mans crazy is another's eccenric. A degree in basket weaving from UC Berkeley is probably worth $70K/year; from Stanford $100K.

You got it effed-up. We love Marines. They do what they do very well, it's just the anal sphincters that tell them where and when to do it that we have a problem with. Don't want no recruitment office, recruiting our teenagers to become cannon fodder in the "Worst President Ever"'s vanity wars, just to make Cheney's and Rumfeld's companies rich. Just so's you won't think I'm a knee-jerk, anti-Republican, I should tell you that (D) Senator Diane Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum, is making out on the wars pretty well too.

And what can you say about politicians? If they weren't psychopaths, they wouldn't be there. Take our Republican governator, 'Ahnold", (Please!). He's a multiple sexual offender, who smokes dope (see "Pumping Iron",

) and goes to Canada to smoke Havana cigars (illegal don'cha know?). What can I say? People in La La Land love him, but "posing" in big down there. People plowing their 4 wheel drives back and forth in the commute traffic, just to "look" macho. At least the women down there dress for men, not like up here. Nothing sexual, just competitive.

What jerkwater town did you say you where from?

I guess the resolution was just badly drafted (pun intended) then?

So, you reckon city government should be making the career choices for your young citizens then?

[Billy]

You obviously don't understand English. I would be happy to put the present pack of congressmen against the wall, with all the Wall Street financiers that you can find, and start over.

I have been told by people from the East Coast that people in the mid west are really behind the times in carrying on conversations. I am really laughing about so much that be said about a dead Squirrel. My 2 cents

1. Cook it
2. Trash it

[Malcolm Hoar]

So would I. And how exactly does resolution regarding Marine recruiters advance the cause? Especially when the resolution was quickly repealed as soon as a few Federal dollars were dangled in front of those who enacted it.

Berkeley residents would be much better served by having their local officials address local issues. There are better ways for Berkeley citizens to get involved in national politics if they choose to do so.

Engaging in silly posturing isn't going to help fix anything.

I have a horrible feeling that things may not be going well in the green pastures to which some posters said they were fleeing to (I really hate that preposition thingie). They had lots of information but double that in attitude.

Let me try something. . . Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, "Worst President Ever", Bush, Bush, Bush. Helloooooo Ann? You there?

Keep your flashlight on Charlie, just in case. If something moves, throw a rock at it.

Buenos noches, amigo

[Charlie]

Aye, well, we be havin' a bit o' fun anyway, Cap'n. Only serves to clarify me/our oft repeated point about the sorry state of affairs with which we struggle....or sumpin like that. Or the sorry state of education.......

Oh shit.........now you've done it!

Buenos nachos, hermano.

Throw it on your mother in law's head.

[Hedda Lettis]

Bury it and plant a tomato over it. It's excellent fertilizer. ;o)

[Dioclese]

Handle with vinyl gloves. Place in plastic bag. Empty contents on top of the nearest large ant bed. Do not re-use the bag. Ants are the biggest natural and quick disposal machine for dead varmints around here.

Came home from a long weekend trip last fall and while I was unloading the car my wife headed for the master bathroom. Something about my trying to train her to hold if for those four plus hour trips without stopping causes her to run for that bathroom every single time. This time was a bit different than normal and instead of seeing her emerge with that relieved look on her face I hear the blood curdling scream. I know that last leg of the trip was a bit longer than normal but damn, it wasn't that long.

I dropped everything and ran for the back bathroom where I found my wife looking like she had seen the devil himself. Her eyes were bulging and she was pointing at the john. I didn't see anything wrong, I had left the lid down before we left and it was still down so I knew it wasn't that. I reached in and lifted the lid and there curled up and floating on top of the water was a dead squirrel. It had apparently crawled down the vent pipe and found its way into the commode where it had drowned.

I pulled the dead carcas out and put it into a 1 gallon zip lock bag. I then placed that bag into a trash back and sealed it. Both then went into the trash for next day pickup. Oh, and my wife never ever never ever goes to the potty without turning on the lights and double checking under the lid before setting down. Can't figure why she wanted that small ceremic squirrel to sit on the top of the tank though.
