Nice beret.

Holy eye beads, Batman! Those things are like marbles! O_O

4 Resriechan 10.17.09 at 2:25 pm

oh, “NUTS”!!!!! (*snerk*)

1)VZ beat me to my comment !! (Altho’ I was gonna refer to it, as a hat; so “More Power to Ya”, actually)

2)Is it a Frawnshe skwirrelio?? (‘cuz uh thu Beret, dontcha see? Everyone who wears a beret is REQUIRED to carry documentation of French citizenship.

3) Hooray for a skwirrelio eating an actual squirrel type item of food. The vegans should entirely appreciate this one!!

He also looks like he’s sitting in a larger nut shell, but I guess that’s just his tailio.

Or maybe he has a fur colored snuggie, the blanket with arms!

yes, awwwwwwww

*gasps* *tenderly scoops sugar glider up–scurries away giggling*

7 Resriechan 10.17.09 at 2:27 pm

PS: LOOK CLOSELY PEEPS (or open up the pic to enlarge: it’s EXcellent at fullsize) there’s a PRIVACY TAIL goin’ on !!

Maybe it’s a French, CATHOLIC skwirrel? Discus..

8 Resriechan 10.17.09 at 2:27 pm

(oh ok Sugar Glider my bad. I prefer that he/she WERE a skwirrelio, tho. Can anyone help change his/ her citizenship?)

This is much, MUCH better at repelling aliens than tin foil hats.

10 Theresa 10.17.09 at 2:37 pm

Oh, STINKIN’ cute!!!

11 earlybird1 10.17.09 at 2:52 pm

It looks like those little pill-box hats the ladies used to wear. Think Bianca (the white mouse) from The Rescuers. Tres elegant!

12 Rita 10.17.09 at 2:54 pm

Far be it from me to start a commentroversy, but I think it’s a flying squirrel, not a sugar glider. Smaller, nuttier, and without stripey markings on his head.

Whatever he is, he’s adorable!

13 Paunchie 10.17.09 at 3:03 pm

Hey Rocky! What me pull a rabbit outta my hat!

14 Nik 10.17.09 at 3:06 pm

I literally gasped at the cuteness of this.

15 Theresa 10.17.09 at 3:09 pm

Does this make my head look big?

17 Kar 10.17.09 at 3:20 pm

The challenges on Project Runway are getting too costumey.

18 260Oakley 10.17.09 at 3:27 pm

Sing it with me (in a Maurice Chevalier voice): S’ank heaven, for leetle squirrels!

19 RicaLynn 10.17.09 at 3:33 pm

Squuueeeeeeee!!!!! sweet lil sugee.

@earlybird1, I thought I was the only one who remembered the Rescuers. LOVE that movie.

20 snuh 10.17.09 at 4:40 pm

Yes I see you got your brand new acorn-nut pill box hat.
Well, you must tell me, baby
How your beady eyes feel under somethin’ like that.
Under your brand new acorn-nut pill box hat!

21 earlybird1 10.17.09 at 4:56 pm

@Theresa: LOL! Exactly! XD

22 KatieZientek 10.17.09 at 5:53 pm

Much cuter than cats fighting over meat, but that’s just my 2 cents!

23 Resriechan 10.17.09 at 7:05 pm

@ Katiez:

well, you can add MY 2c worth also so now it’s a whole 4c!!

WE’RE RICH!! RICH, I tell ya!!!

Signed,
Me, myself & I

24 Lerrinus 10.17.09 at 7:27 pm

OMG that’s cute! *squeeeeee* :-D

25 Aquamarine 10.17.09 at 7:39 pm

@ aquamarine Sugar Glider

[There was no link in your link. So I added some. - Ed.]

27 Brenda 10.17.09 at 8:21 pm

Sooo cute! Love the little crown.

28 Megan Caylor 10.17.09 at 8:22 pm

I’m highly suspicious of that acorn cap on his head.

However, I agree that it is a Southern Flying Squirrel and that while they are terribly cute to look at, they are pretty nasty individuals when you handle the wild ones. I had one bite through two layers of leather and put a nice dent in my thumbnail.

However, they also make great pets, like sugar gliders.

29 adrianna 10.17.09 at 8:23 pm

it should be mandatory for all squirrels to wear such adorable headgear.

30 PJ 10.17.09 at 9:09 pm

It isn’t everyone that gets to wear fur! luxurious fur! this season and not get all PETA-upped. And the Jackie-O hat! Squeeeeee!!! It’s tewtally retro!!

31 Kimberwan 10.17.09 at 9:14 pm

Flying Squirrel + acorn cap = Best. Picture. Ever.

32 Miriam 10.17.09 at 10:02 pm

He looks like a he’s going to a Shriner meeting! ;)

33 dub1 10.17.09 at 10:12 pm

I see Hamid Karzai in a more pc Astrakhan hat.

34 Rita 10.17.09 at 11:34 pm

Yeah, my mom’s boyfriend has two flying squirrels. Since they were raised from… pups? kits? squirrelets? They’re tame and sweet and adorable and love people. On the whole, much more entertaining than my friend’s sugar glider, who smells funny and hates everything except Cheerios.

35 Resriechan 10.18.09 at 12:50 am

@ Paunchie: re. #13 (I think)

May I suggest one *SLIGHT* nudge o’ accuracy (ONLY ‘cuz I haven’t yet decided whether Wile E Coyote vs. Roadrunner or Rocky/ Bullwinkle are my all-time top fave)…..the line was “Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat”. And, of course, the topper: “Gotta get a new hat”, when ’twas a vicious LION instead of a timid cute rabbit….

w/ smooches,
Mel Blanc

36 Saffron 10.18.09 at 5:14 am

Make it work, skwerl!

37 Lose That Girl 10.18.09 at 6:03 am

Recycled couture is all the rage. Adorable.

38 Tinnabeans56 10.18.09 at 6:51 am

39 Tinnabeans56 10.18.09 at 6:51 am

40 Leilani 10.18.09 at 8:37 am

Man! Them’s not beady eyes–them’s BUGGY eyes! Definitely the most adorable picture ever!!!

41 Theresa 10.18.09 at 10:05 am

Did anyone else besides me, think, for just a sec, “yarmulke”?

42 Katrina 10.18.09 at 10:35 am

*Snerk* Theresa.

43 PJ 10.18.09 at 3:21 pm

Theresa, Ya-uh! (snerk snerk)

44 kittyadventures 10.18.09 at 7:35 pm

@ Theresa Well ME that is for sure.. :)

45 jackie31337 10.19.09 at 2:45 am

My 6-year-old says: “Eeee! Don’t even look, it’s too cute!” (While covering my eyes with her hands.)

46 Christy 10.19.09 at 7:18 am

ARRGG! Make it stop! The cuteness is overwhelming!

47 Aoife 10.19.09 at 1:10 pm

Didn’t Sarah Jessica Parker wear the same outfit to some event?

48 danielie 10.19.09 at 2:11 pm

@earlybird1 MARBLES, YES. That BEF is off the chart.

49 Subhangi 10.19.09 at 11:15 pm

The eyes! ZOMG!

50 sweetlemonpie 10.20.09 at 11:05 am

51 Black Ice 10.21.09 at 10:55 am
