Xbrad is getting disturbed by the mean weasel photos, so here is a little something gentler for him:

Short tail, no black tip. Must be a weasel.

2. Lipstick - March 16, 2009

We should have a caption contest.

3. xbradtc - March 16, 2009

I still put them in the “shoot them now!” category, but I’ve downgraded from “heavy machine gun” to “daisy air rifle”.

4. xbradtc - March 16, 2009

Speaking of Daisy air rifle, my local Big5 sporting goods store has a pink one just for the girls. Heh.

Awwww….he thinks he’s people.

6. eddiebear - March 16, 2009

Is that Chip or Dale?

7. Lipstick - March 16, 2009

Some Pennsylvania folks call them “grinnies”.

8. Mrs. Peel - March 16, 2009

Did anyone else totally hate Dale and the way he was always leering after Gadget? She was completely out of his league.

My roommate refers to all of those tiny rodent like things (chipmunks/squirrels/etc) as squinnies. Nutcase.

10. BrewFan - March 16, 2009

Our cat calls those cute little critters ‘lunch’

11. Russ from Winterset - March 17, 2009

I’ve always considered the chipmunks to be “grinnies” and the longer, more weasely nine-striped ground squirrels to be the “squinnies”.

12. TattooedIntellectual - March 17, 2009

I’ve always considered chipmunks to be chipmunks, ground squirrels to be ground squirrels, and squirrels to be squirrels.

There’s chipmunks living in some rocks near the stream that runs under my store. Sometimes when I leave my side door open in the Summer, one will come about a foot inside the doorway and stand there squeaking. Pretty cute.

Weird that my dog doesn’t seem to notice or care. When he hears chipmunks in the woods he goes wild trying to find them.

Never heard any of these colloquialisms you refer to. I consider them evidence of too much lead in your respective water systems.

14. skinbad - March 17, 2009

Bait them with a few sunflower seeds. They’ll come right to you.

Or so I’ve heard. Some pansy nature lover must have told me.

Lead in teh water = no lead in teh pencil

16. Retired Geezer - March 17, 2009

We Spudders call them Whistle Pigs.

They are VERY destructive. They dig big burrows and cows fall in them and break their legs.

Farmers will sometimes pay you to shoot them.

17. Muslihoon - March 17, 2009

How do you pronounce “squirrel”? Skwih-rull? Skwurl?

18. Dave in Texas - March 17, 2009

The latter

19. harrison - March 17, 2009

dinner

20. Russ from Winterset - March 17, 2009

skwurhl

21. Russ from Winterset - March 17, 2009

And aren’t “whistle pigs” groundhogs? Quite a bit larger than your average grinnie or squinnie.

22. Retired Geezer - March 17, 2009

Russ is probably right about the Genus/phylum. They (along with gophers) are anathama to me.

Death to All Rodents! *

* With the possible exception of cute lovable Ferrets.

23. Carl Spackler from Winterset - March 17, 2009

Correct me if I’m wrong, Scotty; but if we kill all the GOLFERS, they’ll lock us up and throw away the key.

24. Carl Spackler from Winterset - March 17, 2009

Oh wait, you said GOFERS? Well, yeah, we can kill them. We don’t even need a reason.

My older brother has taken out a prairie dog or two in his day, using a high-powered rifle. He took some picutres of their mangled little corpses, and showed them to friends on a trip to Japan. Well apparently prairie dogs are pets in Japan, so my brother was doing the cultural equivalent of showing Michael a pic of a three-legged dog he had tortured to death. That did not go over well.

26. Dave in Osaka - March 17, 2009

YOU DIE, GOPHI!!!

27. GrumpyUnk - March 17, 2009

Prairie Dogs? This here’s the ticket –

…can you repeat that?

29. lauraw - March 17, 2009

By the by, Peel is talking about sex again.

It is incumbent upon us to go over there and freak her out.

30. kevlarchick - March 17, 2009

Grinnies? Never heard that. That is SICK.

31. Mrs. Peel - March 17, 2009

I say it more like “skwirrrrrl.” The second syllable becomes an elongated rrrrrrrl sound.
