      The price is wrong, Suki!

    "Do Squirrels Get Sweaty?"

    Nope, they glisten.

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      Just the Plushy squirrels, like Server Squirrel.

    2. Dagny T.   15 years ago

      "Who left the cap off my fucking Glisten?"

  4. Dean Still   15 years ago

    Oh wow, fascinating. That really is some cool stuff dude.

    Slow newsday, eh, Nick?

    1. Jerry   15 years ago

      He must be high on cucumbers.

  6. WTF   15 years ago

    So was this squirrel sweat research funded by a federal grant?

  7. ?   15 years ago

    "The jar says 'jerky.' Take it or leave it."

  8. aix42   15 years ago

    Gee whiz, Squirrel Snark? I enjoyed the article, it delved into Golden Showers for birds.

  9. Tulpa   15 years ago

    Squirrel, I want to make you sweat
    Sweat till you can't sweat no more
    And then when you squeak out
    I'm gonna push it, push it some more

  10. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    If you want the traffic, you have to put up a sensationalistic headline now and then.

    Reason, take note. I'm thinking some controversial expose about toilet-trained cats who leave the seat up.

  11. Dog Ma   15 years ago

    Various evangelical sects continue to view Mormonism as heretical, non-Christian, or even satanic.

    OTOH, some sects consider Mormonism as bad.

  12. P Brooks   15 years ago

    Do squirrels sweat? I have no idea.

    Gophers, however, exhibit distinct signs of nervousness and paranoia when you start shooting their compadres.

  13. Jeff P   15 years ago

    Is "Squirrel" code? Like Cougar or Bear?

  14. JLM   15 years ago

    Between the "readheaded fucktard" comment in the last post and this, it seems the jacket is in a squirrelly mood today.

  15. Aspiring Squirrel Porn Writer   15 years ago

    "She splayed her fingers across the fuzzy, sweatless expanse of his chest, and felt his rodent heart beating. He gripped her, twitched his nose, and took her..."

    1. SugarFree   15 years ago

      Squirrel Porn.

  16. David Letterman   15 years ago

    Sure a squirrel sweats ... when you grab his NUTS!

    Hoo-eee Chester! Am I right Paul? Paul, am I right?

  17. R C Dean   15 years ago

    If the server squirrels have ever broken a sweat, it must have been on a day when I was somewhere else.

  18. hmm   15 years ago

    Having worked for some time in the realm of the squirrel I'm pretty sure they don't sweat. They are pretty kool little critters.

  19. hmm, full of squirrel knowledg   15 years ago

    Did you know that the front of a squirrels teeth grow constantly and that the anterior portion of the leading edge of the teeth is harder than the posterior edge. Creating a sharp edge when they chew.

  20. prolefeed   15 years ago

    I'm not getting the Mormon squirrel link. Is Nick saying Romney acts like a squirrel? Or is he just saying random funny shit to get clicks, ala Tim Cavanaugh?
