This is the time of **Sqrl** ’s annual religious sabbatical. He uses the time to pray, fast, meditate and get laid by as many clergymen as he can.

He’s out in North Carolina, having a new guitar custom-made by the hillbillies who handcrafted all of Bill Monroe’s mandolins.  
He has to stay a week because they need to hold his hand up to the fretboard to whittle it to size, as they don’t have any rulers back up thar in the hill country.

Thus minimizing the need for government grants? 😉

Not a lot of people know this yet, but it has always been Sqrl’s dream to form a ‘not-for-profit’ pro-felching PAC. He’s working now to gather funding and support on Capital Hill for the afore-mentioned rehab center in Alabama, as well as some special programs for Boy Scouts and other such civic-minded organizations. It isn’t surprising a large number of Rodent’s Rights Advocates (motto: Gerbils Have Feelings Too) are supporting his efforts, as are Pat Buchannon, Jesse Ventura, Ross Perot, and the rest of the Independant Felchers Party. I’d like to report that the Scientologists are involved but that hasn’t been confirmed as of press time.  
Once complete funding is secured, Sqrl will lead his devout and zealous followers on a whirlwind tour of our fine National Park System.

I think we’ll call an end to this at midnight Chicago Reader time on Thursday, Feb 10. On Friday, I’ll write up his travel diary using everything that gets posted. If I get really inventive, I’ll even dig up links to some bizarre photos for documentary evidence. I can’t, with good conscience, discard all of this good work.

How’s that sound?

And Poly, is it my imagination or are you becoming more and more mundane? Welcome to the dark and pointless side, my friend.

Did anyone see what I saw? Handy has 3000+ posts?!?!?! :eek:

I guess his keyboard skills must have been what prompted him to choose his screen name.

As his name implies, he’s taken time out to prepare for next winter by burying acorns around his backyard. It’s so cute, the way he holds them between his little paws and gnaws at them.

What kind of nuts does a Sqlcub gather if a Sqlcub could gather nuts…

UncleBeer, if you’re going to be posting _illustrations_ for some of these suggestions there’s going to be a thread called “Where is Little Nemo and what’s that retching sound?”

Naw, you have noting to worry about, Nemo. I’m not going to link to anything that would violate the board rules on posting porn of any kind. I’m thinking more along the lines of corny photos from the cities mentioned in here. Tacky, yet refined.
