The link to This American Life is one of the all-time funniest things I've ever heard in my life. Highly recommended to overcome RealMedia aversion and give it a listen.

Speaking as a person who strongly opposes the war in Iraq but deeply, deeply loves squirrels in tiny costumes, I'm feeling really conflicted right now.

That squirrel had bloodshot eyes? Obviously was feeling a bit sleepy from all the weed, so it was off to dig up some crack.

Does everyone pronounce FAQ so it rhymes with jack? I say out the letters. I also hate all the abbreviations people use, not too terrible here, but on slashdot its insane. It took me a little while to figure out what FPP stood for.

Squirrels lack:
escape pathways
canine teeth
street smarts.

Have I mentioned that I love this post? (Except for the depressing 'Sugar Bush Squirrel' part.)

Where's sciurus when we need him?

Love the picture of the black squirrel. I hadn't thought it was possible for the little critters to get any cuter.

From the first article: "Crack squirrels are a recognised phenomena in the US."

This story was originally written by a friend of mine for the World Weekly News. It got picked up by the mainstream press in Europe, and was then picked up by the New York Times from them, not realizing it was a WWN story... My friend had to make a public apology about it...

Funny that it's still making the rounds.

maryh, those who fancy the heads should be aware that
squirrel brains may be unsafe. I'm just sayin...

Music for squirrel crackheads.

when Maryville KS says they have an "exclusive profusion" of black squirrels, do they mean they're the only ones who have them? if so, they're fulla it. my neighborhood, in MN, has a whole bunch.

Can you actually get high off eating rocks? Seriously I cannot find anything about this on the inter net.

I like squirrels!

posted by Smedleyman at 1:38 PM on October 15, 2005

I've seen black squirrels in Central Park, so clearly they aren't really exclusive to Maryville KS...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I once saw a crazy one-eyed squirrel eating another dead squirrel, and it was disturbing.
