In the almost seven year history of my blog, if VH-1 were to come along and declare one period my Best Week Ever, it would almost have to be the third week of June 2014. My Millionaire Journey had just hit its stride and would become a must-read feature for the remainder of the Summer and Fall… I posted one of my very favorite comics ever… and then there were the nutty antics of this squirrel that I wove together into the greatest Saturday Squirrel post I’ll ever write. And the entire week occurred under the backdrop of my air conditioner being stolen, which helped turn this otherwise bored squirrel playing with sticks into an unstoppable fuzzy warrior. This is a badass photo of a badass squirrel… don’t you dare mess with his nuts!
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
What an adorable, badass little squirrel! He must really be protectivevof his nuts 😜
I totally understand why… I bonk the hands of anyone who messes with my nuts!
Eeyah!
insert badly translated squirrel gibberish here over film of the squirrel speaking in its native tongue….
Wow, he’s through with “wax on, wax off” and he’s ready to kick some serious butt.
I wish I could have gotten all the free work out of him that Mr. MIyagi got out of Daniel-san….
He looks like he has thumbs. He’s hanging onto that stick with the essence of humanity in his hands. Squirrel of Power, squirrel of Might!
Squirrels have vestigal thumbs… which aren’t quite opposable, but are good for helping them hang on to things. Much better than having nothing but fingers…
That’s so adorable! I wonder if it would make Gary think twice about attacking. Probably not. But it’s fun to imagine ninja squirrel leaping into action and putting Gary on the run for a change!
Crouching Doggy, Hidden Squirrel!
He looks deadly serious there………the ultimate ninja!

The intense look is just enough to make you wonder if he really can use that stick as a lethal weapon and go bother someone else…
