I really have been thinking we've been in need of some squirrely goodness. For those of you not familiar with the squirrel/Alan Rickman connection, some time ago, in
some obscure comments conversation on Moro's blog, we got off on a tangent and decided that we were going to mention squirrels as much as humanly possible in relation to Alan Rickman, with the glorious dream that as a result of our constant mention of squirrels, that we could cause Alan Rickman to actually say the word "squirrel", in some public, visible setting so that it would be verifiable.
This resulted in a rampant slew of
squirrel photo manips, obnoxious and constant mentioning of squirrels for about a month, and even one infamous squirrel manipulation that I
became frightened about, and pulled permanently from my site.
Every week or so I search the net in search of squirrel fodder, but honestly, there's not a whole lot of workable squirrel material out there that I haven't scrounged. But then I found this little dude, earnestly scratching his butt, and knew that I had to find a use for it.
Honestly, this manip is pretty stupid. But since I put the effort into it, you have to suffer through it.
Actually, I'm not even sure this is a squirrel. But it's definitely in the rodent family.
