WP: Cemetery's Flags Found in Squirrel Nest

[kskiska]

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. -- Groundskeepers at Forest Hill Cemetery thought it was kids who were stealing dozens of American flags. That is, until one found a giant squirrel's nest.

"I was mowing, looked up out into the distance, and something caught my eye," said Dave Ender, a groundskeeper employed by the Eau Claire Parks and Recreation Department.

He drove his riding lawnmower to a nearby street intersection and looked up a tree.

"Low and behold, I found the missing flags," Ender said.

They were ripped and serving as the foundation of a giant squirrel nest.

Shameful.

3. Agreed.

And another reason we need that Flag Amendment, right away.

9. Well Said

That squirrel and his or her followers need to be arrested, tried and jailed. They could then perhaps testify before a Senate Committee about this terrible crime. One would bet that they were anti gun law, anti war, anti christian, gay squirrels.

5. squirrel, the other white meat....

After 8 hours or so in the fridge, or more like 24 if you work and wish to bring 'normal' food to the office, the water should be cloudy with blood and the squirrels should be significantly lighter. They should look like chicken but be firmer to the touch. Flesh which is black or abraded should be cut off at this time and discarded. Generally the entrance and exit wounds will be obviously bruised and the meat does not cook well. Squirrels are white meat so any recipe that you have enjoyed for chicken translates well into being a recipe for squirrel. Squirrel meat is similar to chicken although slightly less greasy (it is sweeter) and the mouthfeel is firmer. It should not have a 'gamey' taste, which usually means that some of the bowel spilled on the meat and was not properly cleaned. Squirrel goes well boiled and quartered and placed in salad and also is delicious fried in light oils and breaded.
