Not from The Onion: SQUIRREL APPRECIATION DAY Is January 21: Are You Ready?
Today is squirrel appreciation day. While everyone can celebrate squirrels in their own way, we wanted to point you to some useful resources around the Web to get you started.
First off, if you're short on time -- and who isn't these days? -- there's always the quick Squirrel Appreciation Day e-card route.
There's also a guide to Squirrel Appreciation Day activities at eHow -- here's a teaser for that:
1. Check local television listings for documentaries about squirrels. The National Geographic Channel and Animal Planet are likely to have a special presentation.
2. Look out your window. Squirrels are everywhere. What can you learn about squirrels just by watching them in your own backyard?
3. Read a book about squirrels and their natural habitat.
4. Research squirrels online. You'll find several sites dedicated just to our furry friends. Did you know, for instance, that there are 365 species of squirrels?
I just got an e-mail from the Obama administration telling me that Amazon.com has shipped my talking Pegasus that craps $1000.00 bills!
Dang, that sounds better than my Unigoat. Sure he eats garbage and craps gold, but he's not transportation.
Bwah to the self-righteousness powered Echo. I love that car!
Also, I appreciated squirrels on Monday. I gave them pieces of orange, and they appreciated me back. So I think I'm off for today.
I'm actually quite OK with appreciating squirrels when they break into the neighbors' garbage cans, but my own not so much.
I thought eating squirrels was the new appreciating them?
I just remembered another good thing. Obama, unlike Bush, has not called for outlawing human-animal hybrids. Tonight, I am so starting to build my army of mansquirrels.
FTR, anyone is welcome to come hang out with my cats for $10/hour.

I suppose the Fast and Furious movies have killed the ability to power my little Civic hatchback with self-righteousness. I don't have a coffee can sized exhaust or primer colored ground effect panels bolted on it though.
Tonight, I am so starting to build my army of mansquirrels.
I think the SciFi Channel is working on that movie, so you might have to pay royalties.
I am now afraid of Gud, for whomever is keeping track of these things.
