Good News! Restaurant Serves Squirrel Pancakes!

I hate squirrels, and not just because they're evil.

I have a personal bias against squirrels ever since they got into my attic and started chewing through the wires. Last winter, they knocked out the heater in the middle of winter. After we thought we had gotten rid of them, they've come back and have chewed through the wires going to the kitchen lights. Now I have to cook my dinners in the dark.

It wouldn't be so bad except that I know that the squrrels are doing it on purpose.

I know I'm not alone in my personal struggle to escape persecution from the squirrels. On any given day you can go to Google News and run a search for Squirrel and you'll come up with liteally hundreds of hits like this one, detailing the squirrels ongoing reign of terror.

Only today, something was different. Today my daily Google News search for "squirrel" turned up something very different. Imagine my pleasant surprise to finally read some good news about squirrels for a change.

Headline: Top Lakeland restaurant serves up Peking duck-style squirrel pancakes.

What a day brightener!

This is okay, but I'm waiting for the day that these badboys will be served a little closer to home. Like maybe at Steak's house!
