Ah, the beautiful canals of Venice. No, wait, that’s actually my street….
Greetings from the Land of 1,000 Makeshift Lakes! It’s literally deja vu all over again as I attempt to start another of my four day “weekends” from Mecca by getting to swim home from work. Well, Rainy’s not complaining, and neither am I… because this week Melanie’s Share Your World questions are on the lighter side of things. So it’s going to be all shits and grins today! What do you think about that Mr. French?
LOL Fuckin’ A!
If laughter is really the best medicine, then let The Nest give you your daily horse pill suppository. Logo please!
That’s not what they meant by Hands Across America…
What makes you laugh?
Whatever I find funny, which can be just about anything… including things other people find too dark or offensive. I’m very easily amused, and can be caught snickering at random things out in public, which is good for drawing stares. Sometimes I even break down giggling while I’m putting together my little Shelf critter productions for you all…
Like when I did this scene, for instance. No doubt Chip wondered what I thought was so funny…
What’s the world coming to?
Porn.
(rim shot!)
In one sentence sum up the Internet.
Porn.
The alien anthropologists of the future are going to have a lot of questions about our species when they dig through the earth’s rubble.
If over time you replace parts on a car, at what point does it stop being the same car you bought? How many parts do you need to replace to make it a new car?
It will always be your car. But now that you’ve spent so much money on new parts and the labor to have them installed, you won’t have any money left for gas to actually drive it. Your car will be lonely and insecure over all of its new cosmetic procedures, and will park itself on a set of train tracks and wait for the inevitable.
No, wait Mr. French. That wasn’t funny. That was actually kinda sad and depressing. Completely unbefitting of this post and The Nest’s entertainment standards.
Ah, here we go. Instead of a car, let’s see how many parts you have to replace on a possum before it’s no longer the same possum you started out with…
Aw, who knew Buster actually had a heart!
Gratitude is an attitude. Yea or nay? Explain your viewpoint please!
Well, I was thankful that I got out of having to cut the grass yesterday…
Oh, and now I have genuine beachfront property!
I hope the squirrels wait at least an hour after eating acorns before they go swimming…
The water’s all gone already, so no, you don’t have to worry about me drowning.
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
true… it’s always our car… at least the tax guys see it that way because they send the bill always to me LOL
Reminds me of the time my Dad sold off one of our non-working cars, and a few years later, the state threatened to revoke his license because as far as they were concerned, we still owned the car and had to pay to register it. Death and taxes, and not necessarily in that order…
Who needs the canals of Venice when you have it right outside your front door! Just like who needs a pool when there’s one there every time it rains hard! Obviously they need to come put better drainage in your cul de sac BUTTTTT it would take them 3 years and a lot of heavy machinery that would block your driveway and make you mad so lakes and canals and pools are better than that anyway! Right? Right! I had a feeling the world was coming to porn – but even THAT gets old. We’re doomed.

The drainage system all over the city was overloaded and had us looking like Venice (Which is actually a city just south of me). One lake I drove through had water splashing all the way up on my windshield from waves created by oncoming traffic. It was definitely the highest I’ve ever seen flooding in my ten years here. Luckily, I only take my cans to the road on recycling week, otherwise I would have come home to all of my garbage floating out in the middle of the road!
So that’s where my hoods’ rain went, eh? Well glad somebody got some. So when’s the pier going up?
If only I had some beavers to build it. I can’t get the squirrels to do anything, other than look cute…
I agree with your answer about a car. It’s always my car regardless of the little bits and bobs that must be replaced. I’m loyal that way.
It’s all just organ transplants for cars. They do have a soul, somewhere…..
Shit, I was just grabbing my boogie board to come for a visit…
Sorry, but the surf’s all dried up. Bummer, man!
I haven’t heard anything from Mr. French for a long time. Hazel neither.
Mr. French will always live on at The Nest as our go-to when we need a laughing hyena…
Porn! I mean. sorry your garden turned into a paddling pool.
Thanks E.S. for Sharing Your World!! And if all that water came from rain, hey!! Share the Love!! Send some out this way, we’re mighty parched here’s about. (Utah speak for dammit it’s too DRY AND TOO HOT) things you never want to hear if you’re engaging in say – oh – some activities that could be construed as porn — um… * sounds of crickets chirping* 😐 Well you don’t. Was there a major malfunction of the water & sewer (emphasis on water obviously) system in your area? Did Wally’s try burning itself down again? Um. Questions that plague me. Heh. Thanks again Squirrel! I know I always chuckle (at least) when reading your posts…
