re: Anybody ever have a pet squirrel?

Posted by GasMan on 5/23/26 at 9:57 pm to
Years after I left home my dad had one that would come down out of a tree in the front yard and get a pecan off his knee.

He told me about it one time when I was visiting for a few days, I said I didn't believe him. He says OK I'll show you.

He went out on the front porch in his damn pajamas and some pecans in a plastic bowl. He had told me to stay inside the house by the window and shut up and be still.

He rattled the bowl a couple of times and then put one on his knee and sat still.

Sure enough about a minute later a squirrel comes down the tree about 30 feet from the porch. It looked around and then hopped across the yard, up on the porch, and hopped up his knee and grabbed the pecan. The damn thing peed on his leg a little then jumped off and ran back up the tree.

I asked my dad, did you train it to pee on you too? He said, oh yeah he does that sometimes, he gets nervous!

When I was younger and still at home he used to tell me that when he sat outside under the shed to play his guitar, a blue jay with a swollen left knee would drop out of the trees and perch at the edge of the shed to listen.

I always refused to believe it; I guess maybe that one was true as well??

They ought to just let ABS automatically call the balls and strikes and and just let the home plate umpire work the base and call foul balls, interference, plays at the plate, etc.
I got that last year while I was at work. They ask you to trace their number as proof that they are the sheriff's office, because they can spoof the number.

I finally told the guy where I was and my exact location in the building, told him to come fricking get me, and hung up.

It’s like they say, he’s trying to fly the plane all the way into the crash.

I’ll give him credit for that much.

I watched all the episodes. It was OK. I've read many of Hiaasen's novels; guess they still can't quite portray that level of raunchiness on network TV.

The main thing that kept me watching was Emi Ochoa (Jaina Lee Ortiz).

Smokin' hot.
Well I did my part tonight, went to the State-Auburn game. And I have to say, the Dude is a lot more fun than any LSU game I have been to in quite a while.
That is a great one. Definitely worth re-watching some time later as well.

Never lived up to what seemed to be his potential after his freshman year.

I thought he dogged it quite a bit his last season.
English Leather and British Sterling baw.

I was the schizzle.
Blair ain't the greatest but I can tolerate him with Franques/Doug Thompson/Haydel/Ronnie Rantz.

Can't stand Hunt Palmer. When I heard him on the broadcast today I turned it and Listened to the Mississippi State guys on the tv. Palmer seriously needs to fall out of love with the sound of his own voice and his opinions.

It is so bad. I stopped after 3 or 4 episodes.
I have volumes of Robert Frost and E.A. Robinson that I peruse occassionally.

I enjoyed British literature in college a lot so I look at some of those once in a while as well.

Did you hear a single word about pitching or defense? We gave up 10 runs last night.


It appears that the subtleties of the interview were lost on you.
These 2 videos actually make me feel a little better about the situation and the team’s future.

Jay knows this is screwed up, he admits it, is determined not to do it again, has an idea how to fix it.

It’s all you can ask of a guy.

And I think he’s good enough to make it happen.
