Automatic_Wing said...: Seems like a bit of a fraud...if they made 60 batches from 5 squirrels, there ain't much squirrel in there.

It's more like squirrel-flavored pate.; 6/8/09, 1:34 PM

If you take a common animal to a rehab center in the US, they feed them to the hawks and owls that they care for.; 6/8/09, 1:40 PM

(2) Art film squirrel.

(3) Unjugged rabbit fish?; 6/8/09, 1:45 PM

Meade said...: Listen. You've got to tell them:

Squirrel Paté with Hazelnuts and Frangelico is made out of people.

IT'S PEOPLE!!!; 6/8/09, 2:35 PM

jimspice said...: As a young hunter, I was told to always shoot a red squirrel if I saw it. They're too little to eat, but was told they will ruin a good squirrel woods by gnawing off the manly bits of the competing grey and fox squirrels. Not sure if it's true, and not sure if I should have shared.; 6/8/09, 2:54 PM
MadisonMan said...: You can never have too many Soylent jokes. Or Monty Python references.; 6/8/09, 2:58 PM
Palladian said...: But you can have too many grey squirrels, apparently.; 6/8/09, 3:01 PM

Synova said...: You'd like the movie "Up", Althouse.

The dog, Doug, tells a joke... "A squirrel goes up to a tree... I forgot to store nuts for the winter... so the squirrel died. It's funny because the squirrel is dead."

Doug was awesome.; 6/9/09, 12:36 AM
