    Dennis, you in Michigan now?

    The car owner says he's gonna squeeze the squirrel with his bare hands...

    This sounds like a great opportunity for the squirrel to sink his teeth in nice and deep!

    Which reminds me of a recipe titled Squirrel with White Wine.

    - 2 to 4 squirrels
    - 1 cup consommé
    ...


    I'm not sure Dennis would be happy to hear this part:
    "Cut the squirrels into individual portions, and immerse in the boiling liquid."

    No joke, it's a real recipe from Madame Benoit - La Nouvelle Encyclopédie de la Cuisine

    Squeezing the squirrel in a proper, loving way is the much healthier option, as I'm sure @ulackfocus would attest:



    Then, in an interesting 'PLOT TWIST', this guy ended up pregnant! :eek:



    Luckily, the pizza she is holding is NOT 'squirrel-related' cuisine!

    It is times like this that I think the forum has utterly failed to educate. Have the members learned nothing ??

    The OP squirrel is a Montana Red Back. Dennis on the other hand is a New Jersey Gray. Vast difference ::facepalm2::

    Here is a typical stash of the NJ. Gray I uncovered several years ago on the edge of Stokes State Forest in Northern New Jersey.

    Remember, the New Jersey Gray will defend his stash from all comers.

    When new neighbours moved in some time ago, we found out the guy (Lance) was from Ohio, and had moved up here to Canada recently. The conversation eventually turned to food, and he commented that the squirrels here were just too small to bother eating, and he used to eat them often back home.

    Such sweet squirrels, back in jersey the squirrels would just eat the wiring in the car then watch you try to start your car the next morning.

    You shouldn't have tried to talk to him about Speedmasters.
