Buster is hard at work on his entry for this year’s Contest of Whatever. Are you?
Who am I? Why am I here? Oh, yeah, I have a blog here…. I think. I missed yesterday’s Random Image Inspiration, even though I went through the trouble of pulling an image, I never actually got around to writing something about it. I’ll try again later. For now, though, here’s the latest peep into the crazy world of Evil Squirrel… courtesy of this week’s Share Your World questions by our world sharing guru Melanie…
When was the last time you tried something new?
This question seems to always come up about food… and I rarely if ever try things I don’t normally eat. On the rare occasions I do, like my experiment with shrimp in New York City, I tend to not end up liking it after all. So why ever bother. And I’ve pretty much discovered that anything that came out of the sea is inedible…
Maybe the last time I tried something new is when I started sharing my world last year. Hey, there’s a winning answer right there! I tried the Share Your World challenge, and I liked it…
If you were forced to eliminate every physical possession from your life with the exception of what could fit into a single backpack, what would you put in it?

Watching them fight for space in the backpack like the doomed passengers of the Titanic would be pretty entertaining…
What simple fact do you wish more people understood?
Any answer I give to this question will be an opinion, not a fact.
The only simple facts are the physical laws of the universe. Everything else is in the eye of the beholder…
What food item do you go through fastest in your house?
The variety of food I buy is minimal… but what I do buy rarely lasts very long. Probably whatever chocolate candy I happen to be hooked on at the time. Currently, that’s Hershey with almonds bars… which I buy six packs of. Two packs will pretty much be gone in a week…
Please feel free to share something that really makes you happy!
One of two stuffies I fished from the claw machine at Mecca this afternoon for $5….
Incidentally, I’m piling up so many of these claw machine critters that I’m actually thinking of making them alternate prizes for the Contest of Whatever. If nothing in my Cafepress shop inspires you, you can have the pick of the litter from my excess critters. And yes, I do mean excess… I’m far too sentimental to give away any of the SCT stars. Apologies to those of you who wanted a lovable cutie like Snuggle Bear stalking around your house…
Thanks E.S. for Sharing Your view of the possible real World! I, too, need to get a jump on C.O.W., but the news from Marilyn’s direction has put me in a non-creative frame of mind again, so … I will participate (I will, I will!) and perhaps I’ll win a stuffie from the claw machine, even if I don’t take first prize again.
The pick of the litter will be open to either winner this year, if they so choose. We’ll see how that goes…
I actually feel a bit numb. I’m glad I don’t have to answer any questions about me right now because I don’t know how I feel except mostly like I don’t want to do anything. This has been a really bumpy week. Funny how fast we get attached to our pets, isn’t it? Whether we’ve had them a couple of months or a lifetime, we never seem to run out of love.
I want almonds bars now… and I have none… what a day… sigh…
That’s why I stock up…
Thanks for SHARING that wacky world of yours…….I agree about Hershey Almond Bars…..they can be somewhat addictive (somewhat?). My newest gottahaveit is “Smartfood” – I’m hoping it makes me smart. Someone told me about it ages ago and I broke down and got a bag of “sweet and salty” kettle corn Smartfood. Not sure it was SMART but it sure is good FOOD. Am still working on my idea for the Contest of Whatever.

I think I’ve seen that at Mecca… there’s so many weird kinds of “healthy” popcorn these days, they all blend together to me. Whatever happened to burnt, buttered and salty?
Burnt, buttered and salty is how I make “regular” popcorn……wonder why they don’t sell bags of it like that?!
So you tried SYW, something new, and liked it. Isn’t that a miracle? Would that be a fact then? 😉
Only if an independent source can vouch for it. My cats have declined comment…
Hmm…Snuggles seems to have the same idea about blood stains as I do, lol. Of course any appearance Shadow makes, makes me happy!
Shadow can create black holes out of this air. He’s a powerful ally to have…
My niece got me a tiny grey version of the squirrel with the “nuts about you” nut. ❤
Awww!
heh heh – You made a rhyme – pick of the litter from your claw machine critters. I like the nutty squirrel. Oh you’ll have a riot with all your critters trying to stuff themselves into a back pack. 🙂
Trying to stuff them into a fanny pack would be even funnier…
If I win, you could just send me back Brother Bear…
Brother Bear likes his current job of laying around and doing nothing too much. Though it’d be nice to have someone else change his diaper…
I bet Mitzi would do it…
If I win, I’d want something with my man Fuzzywig on it. I’m drinking my coffee from his mug as I type this.
It’s too bad Cafepress doesn’t sell bongs…
I only partake in the good stuff now and then but that would be fucking awesome…
That new guy is really supposed to be a squirrel? Well, whatever he is, he’s pretty cute! As is the little guy with the Reese’s wrapper in his mouth. Thank you for that. I really, really needed a dose of squirrel cuteness. The past two weeks have been a living hell because of issues with my parents. At the moment, I’d like to go back in time and send them both through that black hole. Maybe they’d enjoy the PokeWorld!
The Mecca has a machine at each entrance, and I saw it first in the one machine where you couldn’t see the back of it at all… and I said that had to be a bear, despite the nuts message. Then I noticed in the other machine that the one in there did have a squirrel tail… but since he was out of range, I circled back to the other machine and got the “squirrel” out on the second try! Careful sending your parents through a black hole in the past… make sure it’s after you were born!
Very sweet that the Nest critters get to go in the backpack. I hope your new addition fits!
It did after I threw the possum out and into the trash…
Awww, rescuing all the Shelf Critters sounded so sweet… until you pointed out your sadistic ulterior motive of making them battle it out for space. Although I suppose it would be interesting to see how Darwin’s Survival of the Fittest theory plays out with an evil teddy bear and a slutty unicorn…
