Somebody captured it, but then released it. What was he thinking?

Well, they could only hold it for 24 hours without filing charges, you
know. 🙂

That's not a usual squirrel, that's a ground squirrel. They're nasty.

Actually, most ground squirrels are pretty docile. You can train them
to eat peanuts right out of your hand. They're also intelligent and
you can get train them to do some interesting things.

No, this is clearly a case of a squirrel gone bad. I would expect that
they didn't have a morning prayer in his schools, his parents were
divorced, and he listened to too much rock and roll.

The squirrel had low self esteem.

Here's our 'pet' squirrel. My wife bottle fed him from 1 week old, we've
had him a year now. He lives in the backyard and does whatever he wants,
and shows up for dinner every night at 8.

winnard

He's probably a top poster, too.

Dear Bob and Winnard,

Er, I may have periods of insanity, but I'm not stupid:

Though duly from my hand he took
His pittance every night,
He did it with a jealous look,
And, when he could, would bite.

http://www.web-books.com/classics/poetry/anthology/Cowper/Epitaph.htm

If Tiney had been a squirrel instead of a pet rabbit, he would have
slaughtered me right there on my Turkey carpet.

The damn rodents commit suicide if they think that they can take a
bicyclist with them:

Is this another argument for wheels with evenly spaced spokes? It looks
like the squirrel went into the wide gap between the pairs of spokes.

Now I feel better about that squirrel I terrorized last week when I was going down a steep hill and it stepped out from behind a concrete barrier looking at the car traffic. I came up on it so quick that when it spotted me it doubled back, rolled, and screamed as I passed within a millimeter of it's little pointy head. I never knew they could scream.

This just demonstrates how some car drivers and squirrels have the same mentality since those drivers often only see us at the last minute and scream loudly sometimes too.

It could have been nasty the squirrel had gotten in my wheel cause I was really bombing down the hill. I can't fly worth a damn and landing is not my strong suit.
