Caught Him Peeping In My Window Can't Post
Hi all,

Caught this guy peeping in my dinning room window a few days ago.



Taken with my Nikon D80 and shot through the window. I thought for sure he'd move, as I was slowly moving a curtain to the side and bringing my hand up with my camera.

THAT'S TERRIBLE!!!

I was once flipping through an old diet book, well under "S" was squirrel. I thought, who the hell eats a squirrel? Do people see squirrels in the park and have visions of one roasted on a silver platter with those little chef hats on their feet?
Well, appearantly they're good low calorie snacks.

Sorry for going off on a tangent, That was a cute picture.

They eat them damn things out in East Texas/Louisiana. Laugh My best friend, who lived out there many years, thinks its funny to trick me into eating gumbo, etouffee, sausage, boudin, etc, that has wierd crap in it. Squirrels, nutri-rats, rabbits, alligators, whatever they can get their hands on they'll throw it in the pot...it's all "fair game".

They were eating them on Gordon Ramsey's "The F Word" the other day. Showed them butchering the little squirrels, cooking them, and feeding it to passers by on the sidewalk.Laugh

 Rusty, you offer a view into life in Texas I never would have known about. And quite frankly, it sound scarry. Laugh I have no clue what gumbo, etouffee or boudin is, but if it contains squirrel I'd never try it. Although, HP Sauce makes everything tasty. Tongue

That's why they put hot sauce on everything over there...I'm on my second jug of Tabasco...getting ready to throw some beans in the slow cooker tonight...the only thing I can afford to put in them is water, salt, pepper, and loads of Tabasco! Cool (no squirrel to go with them)

I've never seen a bottle of tobasco that size before! And there's so much of it gone! They only sell the wee ones here.

Can you taste anything other than hot when you eat that stuff?

(Having a flash back to a Simpsons episode when Ralph Wiggum says "it tastes like... burning")

LaughLaughLaugh

And when eating something odd, people always say,"it tastes like chicken".

I once ate some fried rattlesnake at a gas station in Central/North Texas. The lady said,"try it, it tastes like chicken!" Well, I ate some, but couldn't help but ask her, wouldn't it have been safer to just butcher a fuggin chicken, rather than capture a deadly poisonous reptile with barely any meat on it? Crazy

Same goes for alligator! And shark! I'm kinda scared karma is gonna get me one day...and I'll be attacked by snakes, gators, or a shark!

An angry squirrel might go for the nuts! Laugh

Yes I would.
You dont have to skin it or clean it.

And skining a squirrel is not easy.

AHHHHHHHH. You southern guys are strange!

You ate a rattlesnake? You found someone who was cooking a rattlesnake?

We have rattlers here, well up north in Massagua park where I used to go camping.

The strangest thing I've eaten is hot dog which quite possibly contains squirrels and snakes.

Sick minds are a terrible thing to waste.

Sorry folks, the last couple weeks have been a bit rough.....

The strangest thing I've eaten is hot dog which quite possibly contains squirrels and snakes.

Yeah, I think it was at the "HillTop" gas station/convenience store near Fort Worth, Texas out in the country. It was just the ladies running the place, frying and eating greasy rattlesnake right on the counter. They weren't selling it or anything, I think they were simply eating lunch! Laugh

I'm sure there's a lot more horrible things in a hot dog. At least with a squirrel, you know what you are eating. I think hot dogs are disgusting, but they magically become my favorite food in the world when you've been drinking heavily for an entire day since breakfast and you stumble upon a Lucky Dog stand in New Orleans. Laugh

Keep in mind, the nutria rat eating Cajuns in Louisiana are actually the Acadians that were victims of ethnic cleansing in Canada (Nova Scotia) by the British, and still speak french out there. My mom's family is not Cajun, but creole from New Orleans, so fortunately she never made us eat squirrels or nutri rats, but she makes pretty awesome seafood gumbo, crawfish etouffee, shrimp bisque, sausage jumbalaya, etc.Tongue

I'm hungry...I need to book some weddings tomorrow!! Laugh

Funny, I would think the rattlesnake and squirrel talk would have the opposite effect. Wink

(I'm still giggling about the ladies cooking up rattlesnake)
Mind you the Newfoundlanders here have some strange foods. I'm not sure what it is but it smells really bad.

They eat them in Nestleton Ontario, too.Laugh My best friend and I rented a farmhouse years ago. He was a crazy wildman daredevil kinda guy. One night we brought two girls back to the house from the bar. He's with his on his sofa, I'm with mine on my sofa. Just when things started getting good we hear this noice in the ceiling. It was an animal running back and forth. The girls got creeped out and wanted to go home. Mike was so pissed off the next day he got his 12-guage shotgun out, sat on the sofa and waited. He shot twice right into the ceiling and killed it. Loudest noise I've ever heard. It was a huge squirl. Then he cooked it and ate it. Even had a survival handbook on how to cook them. It was bizzare.

At my previous job here in Wisconsin we had a programmer that was a real outdoorsy, hunter/gatherer/gardener type. He mentioned one day how the place he was renting in the country had a bunch of squirrels around and he may have to "harvest" a few for dinner. Sure enough the next day he shows up with left over "squirrel pot pie".....looked pretty tasty but I am not a squirrel eater.

My wife's dad used to make squirrel all the time when she was little. There were pretty poor at the time ( they had 4 kids and sold shoes for a living) so he would hunt squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, grouse, duck, fish and garden to put food on the table. It all saved on the grocery bill. My wife says squirrel is tasty....I'm a pig, cow and chicken kinda eater myself.Cool

Actually here in Wisconsin hunting squirrels is pretty popular.....JohnK must not know much about that over the big city of Milwaukee where he lives. Tongue

My dad brought some home once when I was a kid. When he was a shift-worker in an oil refinery, he'd always bring home the catered overtime meals they'd give the employees. (Big companies used to take care of their employees.) One night he brought home one that had fried frog legs in it! WTF? I ate one, but there wasn't any meat on it, so it was just a greasy fried bone. Haven't been able to eat them since, depsite my friend trying to get me to eat them. Frogs are disgusting.

When I was working in the same oil refinery as my dad after I graduated high school, the men working out there would cook all kinds of crazy stuff. because of my dad, the guys would invite me in for lunch. Union guys would spend much of their work day, often on overtime/weekend/double/triple time pay, cooking elaborate meals. I was amazed at the inefficiency. They hired contractors to do most of the work. Like me, the "white boy" the other contractors called "space cadet" because of the way I used to decorate my hard hat. Laugh

I went to go have lunch with my dad at another unit one day, where the hourly guys had invited him for some gumbo they made in their control room 'kitchen'. I ate about half the bowl, and found such an odd array of bones in there, that I could never shake the images from my mind. There were little skulls and vertebrae..I think they were squirrels and/or nutria rat.Shocked
