In honor of The Nest’s recent tenth anniversary, I’ve been posting a series looking back at the very best search terms that have ever led someone to my blog in the past decade. I did this every year and called it the Sandy Awards, but now that there’s little to nothing to work with anymore, this All Time Sandy Awards presentation is helping to put a nice, but really fucked up bow on one of my most beloved features.
This Tuesday’s installment is the fifth in the series, and this time the subject is one that The Nest really is an expert on…… SQUIRRELS! The sciurine species is a fascinating one, and I’ve shared many interesting and fun things about them over the years…. but apparently the overly curious/weird/fucking nuts people out there want to know more, thus, all of today’s interesting Sandy entries…
As always, all of the bolded terms below were really entered into a search engine by somebody, and were directed to The Nest!

Wow, those sure were some really squirrely squirrel related search terms! But none of them even won this category! To find out which search term did, as well as all of the other big winners, you’ll have to wait for the March 22nd post to find out. Until then, join me next Tuesday for yet another category full of what people just like you and me have searched for in the last ten years!
loved the color question and green nuts? well that is the same like green eggs?
Sure, you can crack both eggs and nuts. That may be how they wound up green…
Thank you, you made my day with this post.
Always a pleasure to share these entertaining searches!
Squirrels playing poker beats dogs all day long.
A lot less drool on the table, for one…
Seriously…someone asked how to get a squirrel out of an icebox? And we wonder why things are rather messed up. The scary part is that might be a neighbor. 😳 Yikes.
Yeah, they could just come over and ask you for advice rather than bothering Google with such difficult questions!
Hahaha! 😀 These are priceless!
Collections of human weirdness, on display every Tuesday.
I assume that no squirrels were harmed making this post.
Well, I sprained a finger typing it…
The human mind is an interesting thing…..people who come up with these search terms lead either very boring lives or very exciting lives – there’s no in between. I’m beginning to understand the need for man-eating otters…..seriously. 🙂

I’m not sure how to feel for the SQUIRRELS who happen to live around these people. Poor things are getting force fed soda and Pepto Bismol and being thrown out of iceboxes!
It’s definitely a rough life!
You realise most of those were me, spending my evenings typing in endless squirrel queries in the hopes of making it to the Sandy’s…
I thought I recognized your writing style in these…
I can send you some great spare pictures, should you need any, though it does seem like you have a more than adequate representation of squirrelly photographs. I just have a lot of red squirrels and I don’t think you have them down your way, but i could be wrong.
Just to be clear? If I’m looking for you, I always look for Evil Squirrel. That IS your name, right?
