LB told me about all the good things you have been doing in your partnership with Mecca! He said they got another buttload of 20 lb. squirrel feed in last night, to go with alll the 10 lb. bags they got in Saturday night! And even better is that people are buying it up like hotcakes!
Thanks to all your hard work in promoting squirrel awareness thorugh National Squirrel Appreciation Day, the great people of this country have taken up our plight! Thanks to what you have done in making squirrel food available for all to purchase, there are many millions of squirrels across this great squirrel-infested country of ours who will now not starve to death this winter! Your great organization is truly worthy of an award of its own, and I am proud to be even a small part of all the good works you do for all of us adorable little furry critters!
I do have a bone to pick with Marley however. I also found out from LB that the big display of dog chew toys that is part of a "Marley and Me" promotion is completely and totally out of line. He said every single chew toy in the box is in the design of a squirrel! What have I ever done to you, Marley? What, could the manufactuer not make chew toys in the shape of _TPTB_'s head....?

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!

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.

Sorry, EB, that was my cousin Bob, not me!

I hate to burst your bubble, Fuzzy, but in this economy, they aren't buying it for the squirrels. They're sprinkling it on their breakfast cereal in place of Grape Nuts. That stuff costs more per ounce than gold!

That's be a good way to lose a few teeth since 90% of what's in squirrel feed is just hard corn kernels....
The rest is sunflower seeds and a stray peanut shell or two. If I were a squirrel I'd probably like it burnt though....

Wow--that sounds more like Fiber One then. I stand corrected.
I thought most folks in your neck of the woods didn't have all their teeth, Billy Wayne Earl Ray. Maybe it's the Squirrel Chow diet!

Well, I'm missing a rathee prominent one... though I'm not as bad as one of my co-workers whose MIA count is up in double digits (One of our running jokes at work is his dentist who charges $50 a pop to pull his teeth).....
But none of that would account for the corn cob holders we've sold recently... unelss people just attach them on their iceboxes to hold an ear....

If you quit burning all your food on purpose it wouldn't be so hard to chew it. I'm just sayin'....

Food should be crunchy, otherwise it's probably no good....
Plus, it keeps the 31 teeth I still have in great shape! I could probably chew through barbed wire if I had to....

You are welcome, now about those dues?
