Kheprera Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think for next year, everyone should paint nothing but squirrels. All entries must have at least one squirrel, even the CAVs. In fact, if I can manage the time, I'll do my CAVs with at least one squirrel, possibly more. *ideas start running* I wonder how many squirrels will fit on a large catergory base...

Artists Wren Posted May 23, 2008 Artists Share Posted May 23, 2008 Perhaps we need to add a "Familiar" category? Or is everyone just thinking "Squirrel"? I think a familiar category would be awesome, but apparently everyone _else_ is just thinking squirrel. :-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintminion Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's not a bad thing to be thinking squirrel. Squirrels are far more intelligent and sneaky than people think! In college, it was the Squirrel Liberation Front that had one of their own sacrificing himself on the university electrical transformer to take down power throughout the campus for a day, just so they could make their point that students were not feeding the squirrels enough and all squirrels were uniting in order to have their squeaks be heard even unto the hallowed halls of the Chancellor. I once caught a squirrel spy in my 3rd floor apartment...the dastardly agent had swiped my holiday nut basket and was dusting it for prints while he took a nibble. I have never received another nut basket for the holidays so I believe they have been intercepting my packages since then. Squirrels...they are EVERYWHERE!

pae Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Back when I was in grad school, a friend of mine had his baklava stolen by a squirrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artists Wren Posted May 23, 2008 Artists Share Posted May 23, 2008 Other than possibly eating through our phone lines a few years back, the squirrels and I have had a peaceful relationship. Geese, however, have been on my case from time to time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastl Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 One of my cats things squirrels give him headaches. Let me explain. I had the cats out in the backyard and a squirrel was on the fence eating a nut. My cat was looking in that general direction, just sitting there. I don't think he even saw the squirrel at that point. But the squirrel took offense and threw the nut at the cat. His aim was perfect and the nut bounced off my cat's skull. I put the nut back on the fence after I laughed so hard I think I might have peed myself a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anvil Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Squirrels are the messengers of God. Or so my Gurps Space Engineer thought. Also that blue engines run better. So much for 3rd ed. quirks. I have a rabbit familiar about half done, could I enter that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted May 23, 2008 Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2008 I suppose I could paint up a squad of the Jawa Liberation Front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacraficed himself? Sure, you keep on believing that. My guess is that the Bushy Tail Mafia pushed some who owed them nuts into the transformer as an example to others......

paintminion Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 They took a full page add out in the school newspaper and explained all about what the SLF stood for and what they wanted. These days, I suppose that's home grown terrorism. But yes, an SLF member is a fanatically loyal and will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the cause. Now Mafia, that's geese.

Star Drifter Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I have a whole bunch of little familiars from three ReaperCons worth of playing in the Bits Bin. No squirrels. But lots of pumpkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntilZha Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Back when I was in grad school, a friend of mine had his baklava stolen by a squirrel. That must have been one fat, hyper, sugar-rushed squirrel after he finished that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
