*ahem*
During one of those shame-filled months-long stays with my parents we millennials often do, I helped my father demolish and rebuild a large-ish (10-14’) back porch. There was slight trepidation on both our parts, as we’d both smoked out there and made a habit of chucking the butts thru the slats into the little crawl-space underneath. The habit miffed my stepmother (rightly so) and we worried that we’d uncover a disgusting cigarette grave-yard as we tore up the boards. We did not. Didn’t find any at all. That is, until we spotted the nest in the corner. Some mouse had built a cotton candy home out of the things. Must have been excellent insulation for the winter. I could only imagine a litter of cozy, tumorous vermin sleeping peaceful and warm under the snow.

I remember reading somewhere about a study that said some birds take cigarette butts for their nests because the nicotine keeps feather mites away.

Which seemed plausible, but obviously doesn't bother this creepy-crawly.

In the Cotton Candy Mountain,
The cigarette butts keep you warm
There are no nasty trigger traps
Near our happy muscine dorm

I would have expected a roach to be puffing on a roach.

I loved Pizza Rat, who carried our hopes and dreams down those stairs, but... NO.

This only happened because Juul took away his favorite vape flavor.

Squirrel Eats Large Donut While Sitting in Tree

Stop trying to make donut squirrel happen. It's not going to happen.

Squirrel definitely preferable to cockroach, but I really need to see where the squirrel got the donut. Not the same if it hasn't been absconded with through perseverance and bravery and all that good stuff. That squirrel might just have been given the donut.

Probably by Russia.
