You know that scene about thirty seconds in to the Drunk Squirrel clip, where it is holding on to the tree for dear life because the world is spinning too fast?
That squirrel and I are going to have something in common tonight. posted by quin at 2:34 PM on March 28, 2008
After some of the other contentious posts this afternoon, I happily nominate this as best find of the day. posted by Dizzy at 2:35 PM on March 28, 2008
Laugh all you want at that drunk squirrel, but it takes gumption to react to the spins by spinning around in the opposite direction. Chances are that, in his position, I'd have simply held my head until I puked. posted by shmegegge at 2:44 PM on March 28, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
I knew it. Squirrels are assholes. posted by agregoli at 2:48 PM on March 28, 2008
I kind of want Pope Squirrel to tell me how I should live my life!
Metroid Baby and I came up with a concept known as TIME SQUIRREL. As far as I know, he travels through time, flashes before your eyes, and sometimes kills you...with time. It is also customary to exchange Time Squirrels on the day before Valentine's Day. posted by ignignokt at 3:13 PM on March 28, 2008
See, climbing in a spiral is what squirrels do when they're freaked out. I suspect he's just trying to get someplace safe — you know, like we are when we burrow our heads in between the sofa cushions and groan. posted by nebulawindphone at 3:13 PM on March 28, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
Squirrels are just rats with good PR.
As a side note, squirrelled is credited as the longest one syllable word in British English. If we had Ceceo English, we could have the longer word Thquirrelled. Sorry, I'm in a bit of an absurdist mood. posted by BrotherCaine at 3:15 PM on March 28, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]

I saw an interview with notorious Russian porn star. Her name was Nakita something or other but she looked like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle and she was bemused about people always wanting her to say "moose and squirrel". posted by Huplescat at 3:58 PM on March 28, 2008
Squirrels wearing clothes....it blows my mind. posted by chara at 4:50 PM on March 28, 2008

Maudlin, when I first heard that story a couple years ago I had to pull over my car because I was laughing so hard. posted by BrotherCaine at 6:40 PM on March 28, 2008
