    It reminds me of baseball game stats … “he’s hitting 500 on Tuesday nights against the Yankees during a full moon and his twin brother has just finished a large cheese pizza”

      Right after it hit him in the eye. I believe that technically counts as amore.

    Squirrels are native here in South Africa, I have a pair of Smith’s bush squirrels or tree squirrels living here in my garden. Their population took a knock when my neighbour gave his two boys pellet guns without supervision, luckely they moved or something a year ago. All I know is a wise old man once said: “Morty, you don’t mess the squirrels.”

      You know what you gotta do, right? Build a 41 foot statue of a skateboarding Smith’s bush squirrel in tribute to our lord and savior Randall Munroe.

        The largest statue of a skateboarding Smith’s bush squirrel in tribute to our lord and savior Randall Munroe, in the world, not like those second place Northerners

          That’s clearly AI generated, I can’t believe you didn’t put in the small effort to actually make this /s

    How sure are you there isn’t a giant squirrel by some servo in the middle of Australia called the big nutter?
