Baby flying squirrels: a mini-9/11 in your hand


Flying Squirrel, you are a fucking disaster. There's so much wrong with this photo, it's hard to know where to begin. But let's just start with the fact that you can FIT INSIDE A FUCKING LADY'S HAND AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH SPACE LEFT OVER FOR YOUR WHISKERS. I know you think your curled up little tail is going to melt hearts everywhere, but it just looks to me like you're trying to make us forget you can't actually fly. STOP TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH AN INFLATED SENSE OF SELF.

You know, I used to think it was the skin around their legs that made squirrels able to glide through the air, but I'm pretty sure once you get this fucking ridiculous you can float on big-eye-and-little-paw power alone. Just remember to enjoy it while you can, Flying Squirrel, because you're going to get older, and if you don't have your feet on the ground, there's going to be a big wake up call, and it won't involve me feeding you acorns.

Back in the 'sixties they had to make him less cute for his network television appearance with the talking moose or it would have been the end of the world as we know it.

MotorCop said...

Seriously...what's up with the sausages. Methinks the baby squirrel isn't alone in this conspiracy.

PersonalFailure said...

mighty big head you have there, baby flying squirrel.

JediJeff said...

Big eyes like a Precious Moments figurine. Those things are creepy, and so are you, squirrel.

spoff said...

baby flying squirrel: floats solely on his giant, inflated ego and sense of self-importance.

LMAO! "you can FIT INSIDE A FUCKING LADY'S HAND AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH SPACE LEFT OVER FOR YOUR WHISKERS" is the best line ever!

"Death From Above" was never so frightening.

Flying rats. Disease-carrying rats gone airborne. WTF?

gregoryyy said...

Get the hell out of there!

Those are hands of someone who does not miss a meal Squirrel,and that pot of water boiling is not for tea.

Daddy Blogger said...

Look, flying squirrel, you and Bullwinkle can just go back to pulling rabbits out of hats and fighting Boris and Natasha. Take your irritating high pitched voice and the dumb moose and go bother some kids, will ya? You're not cute and we already beat the Nazis. Make yourself useful and fight Al Qaeda or something and leave the cuteness to other animals.

camille infante said...

You really can't be too careful these days. Even the baby ones have tricks up their sleeves.

Jamie said...

That's a child's hand! Good god, squirrel, have you no shame???

Mark Kreider said...

Very cool Shar Pei hand.

Kent said...

That thing can't fly, it just falls with style.

Unknown said...

This squirrel eats babies.

OK squirrel - I'll admit you're sitting pretty with old banana hands there. You look sweet and timid. Everyone thinks that you're the nice quiet neighbor. Two words squirrel - Jeffery Dahmer.

You thought I wouldn't look into your eating habits? Lets see...tree sap (idiot), insects (gross), carrion (fucking filthy & diseased), bird eggs and nestlings. You heard me - nestlings. You disgusting, sadistic little son-of-a-bitch. Do you kill the babies before you eat them or do you just go to town.

Fuck you psycho. Stay out of my back yard.

loosegrape said...

Fuck the squirrel. I'm more concerned with the amount of blatant handism out there.

mel g said...

but its soooooooooooooo cute

Eric said...

Oh sure, one of them is ok. But just you wait until baby flying squirrel swarming season.

nltisme said...

Cute.Little.FUCKER.....oooohhhh....damn your adorableness! Fucker!!!!!

moonjunio said...

The fingers only appear to be huge because they are so much closer to the camera than the eensy squirrel nestled way down in Palm Valley.

Aeroentropy said...

moonjunio - thanks for defending my mitts - sure, they're not dainty, but they aren't as scary as this photo. Or the squirrel.

Adam said...

Hahaaaa nice.

WR said...

Oh those little F'ers are cute until they leap down the chimney, get into the house while you are on vacation and chew the couch to bits. Come to think of it, that might be the little tree rat born in my couch. Damn. What does his licence plate say - is he from NH?

eddietsunami said...

That squirrel makes me deeply angry just like this little pig. I nominate it next. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2611857197_217740d11b.jpg

Miniature things enrage me. THAT INCLUDES YOU, TINY FLYING SQUIRREL. I don't care if that's your "natural" size.
