Welcome to Share Your World, Rainy. It’s nice to have you…
Another Thursday SYW intro, another Shelf critter to talk about. This week, as if you couldn’t smell her coming, will be the surly mephitic pluviophile Rainy. Rainy was apparently born with rain gauge in paw, but since it never rains on the Shelf, there is never any precipitation to accumulate in her gauge, making her very unhappy. And when her eyes light up red when she gets angry….. well, she often takes out this anger on the other critters of the Shelf with her toxic skunky gift of green gas. And heaven forbid you desecrate her precious rain gauge….
Someone’s getting a tomato bath tonight…
I found Rainy among the many quirky treasures at a place called Ozarkland on one of my baseball trips to Kansas City back in 2014. I didn’t have a skunk in my collection at the time, and how could I possibly resist the absurd combination of a skunk toting a rain gauge? She emerged and earned her name during the pre-SCT Bashful skits to become the traveling rock’s major nemesis and continued wreaking havoc once The Theatre formed to continue being one of the production’s stars. I mean, would you want to tell her that her talents were no longer needed?
This looks like a job for Troll…
A SYW question themed around Rainy:
What’s the silliest or pettiest thing that tends to really upset you?
And now we shall get on with the show, assuming none of you walked out during the opening act (and if you did, don’t let Rainy find out). Here are our answers to this week’s Share Your World questions, provided as always, by Melanie…
Without rain, there can be no cannabis…
If you could be anywhere else right now, where would it be?
If I ever get there, I’ll be sure to send you a postcard…
It may take a few years to arrive…
What Wastes The Most Time In Your Day To Day Life?
Welcome to Evil Squirrel’s Nest! I sit at the computer all day and have no life!
How would you describe your greatest enemy? If you don’t have one, share your secret!
My greatest enemy is a doofus who wears lace panties and always has their thumb up their butt. They’re also a poopoohead who picks their nose and wipes it on their Strawberry Shortcake Trapper Keeper. They kick puppies, park in front of fire hydrants and tear the DO NOT REMOVE tags off their mattresses. I don’t know who this greatest enemy is… but if they existed, that pretty much describes them…
You talkin’ about us, you bum?
If you were a bird, what kind of bird would you be?
Note: I swear I hadn’t looked at this question before I added the image above!
Since this question makes it sound like I wouldn’t have a choice, I’d probably end up being a vulture…
I’ve got a bone to pick with you! No, seriously, meet me by the possum carcass!
Feel free to share an image, a thought or a meme about kindness this week!
Kindness, you say?
No kind deed ever goes unpunished at The Nest!

Thanks E.S. for Sharing Your World! No good deed goes unpunished, as the Coupon Fairy will tell you…Ouch! That vulture looks like it is hungry, and I’m glad I’m not a possum (sorry, Buster). Great bird pictures, those no doubt mutantly gigantic black birds are relatives of the ones here, who take malicious delight in crappin’ all over my front porch. I should have practiced harder at using the slingshot! Those big black birds here are incredibly noisy too. 😡 What’s not to hate? Great answers to all my silly questions though! Cheers! (on August 15th I’ll air the “Share Your World Evil Scuirine Version. If you have it handy and wouldn’t mind sharing it, could you post a copy of your wonderful Mitzi SYW banner that you created? I saved it for just this type of occasion, but sadly did not back up that file before my tower went south. If not, I’ll have to ‘borrow freely” from your lovely SCT cast and make a banner myself, so no pressure! ) Thanks, Bill!
I have two SYW images I made with Mitzi in them, both of which have specific text on them. One was a custom banner with Mitzi and Brother Bear “celebrating” my 69th set of SYW answers, and the other was my thank you I made for my 100th set of answers which had Mitzi on top of the world. I think the latter is what you want, but I’d have to remake it from scratch without the text. I’ll come up with something you can use before then! Thank you for taking the questions I suggested (OMG, now I have to come up with answers for them!), and since I don’t plan on stopping them until I run out of critters, you can have a new set every four weeks if you wish!
Great! I think having a ‘squirrel day’ Share Your World every month or so is a fine idea! 😀
Here you go! What do you think?
Like I totally am blown away…that’s an outstanding banner! Stay tuned on the 15th, because that’s YOUR special day! ❤ Thanks Bill!!
I love that terror comes from both ends of Rainy, those eyes and that, umm, ‘rain.’ No good deed goes unpunished, indeed.
Rainy could probably shoot eye lasers as well to take care of irritants from both fronts…
No doubt!
Rainy knows how to get attention and clear a room like nobody else that’s for sure! About coupons – someone used to do that at our grocery store but it stopped so either they got asked politely (haha) by management not to do it OR they went to Coupon Heaven. Buzzards look like strange aliens in bulky feather and fur coats.

I’d say our local coupon fairy may have went to Coupon Heaven (Or maybe that OTHER coupon place), but I don’t really work in those areas where she frequented anymore, so I’m not sure whether they’re still blessing my Mecca or not. They must not make coupons for 50 cents off on air fryers or buy one get one free Shark vacuums…
That’s a reasonable explanation why your area is couponless!
That vulture looks like those guys from Dark Crystal…
I had to look that up. Talk about some uncanny valley looking characters….
