I'll do the squirrels one, so are we like, writing a paper on this? what do you want the word count to be? Do i quote them like they speak? or do you want me to translate it? Should I bring some nuts or would that make me look like a creep? And what should I wear?

All attempts at making conversation with squirrels were unsuccessful. Will next attempt to communicate with the coyotes.

The most awesome line in a book ever: "Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs. We have a protractor."


Just thought you might find that amusing, Carlisle.
