A Shameless Portrait...

For a certain Weasel....

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

--squirrelmama (10/3/07)

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

LOL!

NotebookBoy helped a LOT on this one!

I just wish there coulda been a little bottle of bergamot oil -- but of course, that's in the Earl Grey tea!

JeanLuc Picard is awesome, but he's wrong about Earl Grey. Ugh!

OK, I've thunk and thunk, and I just can't dredge up the reference to the doggie bone.

Any help appreciated.

I am honored to have been referenced in the ES portrait of another BB, even if I'm not too crazy about the reason why, lol.

Funny thing.....after never having any in my life up to this point, I have been (over the last several months) purchasing authentic team jerseys from my various favorite teams to have and occasionally wear. Although my Dallas Mavericks jersey (#41, Dirk Nowitzki) and my UofTX jersey (#10, Vince Young, complete with his name added to the back, and an authentic Rose Bowl/National Championship Game patch) are not numerically relevant, the first and most recent purchases are. The first one was my Dallas Cowboys jersey (#9, Tony Romo) and the most recent purchase was my Dallas Stars jersey (#9, Mike Modano). It actually took me quite some time to make the connection, believe it or not.

Fortunately, the Texas Rangers jersey that I'm looking at (#10, Michael Young) will not cause the dreaded #9 to become the ruling majority in my jersey collection. :mrgreen:
