Pointless College Stories 2, Episode 6: Short Plays

I'm going to steal an idea from fish_tie. I'm shameless that way. Fish told a fun story today about the squirrels at University Park. I was there a little longer than Fish was, so I have a bunch of squirrel stories, but none of them were really good enough to warrant an entry on their own. So let's try a variation on the theme.

Growing up where I did there were lots of squirrels, but they were little, brown and cute, and they mostly didn't bother me. Especially since my dog chased them mercilessly and my kitten occasionally killed them. Anything that was afraid of our fat-assed dog and could be killed by my fluffy puffy kitty cat couldn't be that evil, you know?

But in Toronto, they have big, black, evil squirrels. And more than just being bigger and eviller, they're also organized. Scheming. A sort of squirrel mafia.

One day, on my way home from the grocery store, I was walking through the complex I lived in just off campus, and there was a squirrel in front of my chattering at me. So I chattered back at him. And he'd run a little further in front of me and chatter, and I'd chatter back at him. We continued this amusing little game for a couple of minutes until I turned around and realized there were four more of those evil little bastards sneaking up on me and my bag of groceries from behind.

The one who was chattering at me was just the *decoy*, and the rest of them, no doubt, were there to eat my brain. Well, my brain or my lettuce. One of the two.
