Choking Squirrels in the Great Depression … Um, Not a Euphemism …
I guess that’s the scale you can use to measure the depth of our economic problems … if you’re in a tree choking a squirrel for dinner … bad times.
So, if you can’t find Elvis RV, don’t ask this guy if he has one with less shelf rub …

I knew skunks were good for something!
Can you imagine the beautiful aromas of a skunk rotisserie? mmm MMMM!
Ugh, I KNOW! We have lots of skunks in our neighborhood so I get to smell them often. 🙁
If you feed em chicken, they will be your best friend. 🙂
They are quite friendly anyways. Nearbout have to dropkick one to get it to spray. Otherwise they will ignore you.
They are pretty cute. Too bad my cat always wants to make friends with them, hence the spraying. We had one living in our garage for a little while, thanks to my husband always leaving the door open.
I love this post! As someone raised by people who grew up during the depression, I have a great respect for those who have truly gone without. I would have to be quite hungry to eat squirrels however.
It reminds me of when I was going through Prisoner of War training.
Had to kill,skin, and cook my own rabbit. They made us eat the eyes, heart, organs, and pretty much everything. But after 4 days without food, I wasn’t complaining. Just swallowed without chewing and tried not to gag.
Are you SERIOUS? Yikes! Man vs. Wild style there Britt! I am IMPRESSED! 😯
lol yeah its called S.E.R.E. Definitely a school EVERY military member should go through. You definitely learn what your mind and body truly can endure. Nothing like a good waterboarding to start your day out right 🙂
oops.. that last statement is pure assumption 🙂
My son is looking into being a SERE instructor in the Air Force.
I would love to do that job.
Just tell him to be careful. Both our instructors broke their legs during our training. I had to help carry both down a mountain. Not very fun.
I can’t get the link to work.. sniff sniff. I am trying to catch up after a few days not watching the board. Guess I snooze, I lose! No squirrel meat for dinner in my house
(MET: The Parkersburg News site seems to be down :-/ … Squirrels revenge?)
Man i thought everybody would have a comment on squirrel choking. Guess I was wrong lol
Feed Matty the squirrel meat. Are they afraid that their servers will crash again if they try to sell a real demand product? If that is the problem go back to the Red Line Club where they know how to handle the demand of huge orders
Maybe the current recession will start forcing the majority of the population to get off of the couch watching MTV and start doing something remotely worthwhile.
I seriously doubt it.
Everyone seems to think the government will take care of them if things go sour.
That’s for sure. A generation raised on entitlement.
Man that takes some kahunis to put your hand into a squirrel den.
I think the lack of food was affecting his brain.
HuH!?!?
PS – Is Matty supposed to be offerin’ somethin’ today for cars collectors?!?!? Or did I miss read something somewhere about the 17th of March…?
(MET: Yea, Matty PR was all set but Matty logistics, production & distribution neglected a couple major things so while it’s easy to make fun of Matty, serious for CARS, Matty is a hollow head and other than the SDCC offering, Matty & CARS – once a year and out – but there are many men in fur underwear to buy …).
