Lord Nutsy vs. Santa Monica

Santa Monica plans to use birth control on squirrels

Apparently, they're trying to foil Lord Nutsy's planned takeover by giving squirrels birth control, due to a "population explosion."

This is clearly the work of Lord Nutsy...fewer squirrels means less competition for the city's walnuts. Crafty little feller, ain't he?

Condoms for squirrels? Lord Nutsy would retaliate by handing out Squir-agra!

Do they manufacture walnut-flavoured "morning after" pills for the females?

I'm chuckling at the thought of little condom machines for squirrels.

Never fear, Lord Nutsy will foil their puny plot!

California ground squirrels, like rats and gophers, are rodents.

Loved that sentence. You mean Texas and Georgia ground squirrels might NOT be rodents?

And duh, of course squirrels can carry plague. But go look at the CDC stats; the incidence is fairly low, even for Texas. I had a prof who got plague, and we all told her that was carrying authenticity a shade too far.

Sounds as if Lord Nutsy may be engineering something, as La Cricket said ...

Wait a cotton-pickin minute here!

Why won't anyone give ME free birth control!? I believe the "population explosion" rule applies even more to pipples than to skwurls.

... ushering in a new era of Free Love for Lord Nutsy. :-)

I saw a travel show a few weeks ago, in which the irritatingly perky blonde presenter was taking a road trip along the Californian coast. She was in a park, getting all excited about seeing some seals (or sea lions or whatever) later, when she sat down for a picnic lunch and was set upon by about ten squirrels. It was hilarious.
