Hmmmm.... If I had a bike like this:

http://www.bikeblender.com/bikeblenders.html

I could serve up delicious shakes every time I encounter a suicidal
squirrel.

P.S. Please don't tell my animal-rights friends I participated in this
discussion.

See, all those jokes about NJ are unfair! It's a really nice state for
squirrel eating, the toxic waste didn't affect them at all. I don't
know why people poke so much fun at this state.

(Is this where we make more NJ jokes... or where the mutant 15 foot
tall squirrels show up and seek revenge for their species?)

A lead blender? Hmmm.... I'm no metallurgist, but, uh, I don't see
lead tines making quick work of ice cubes for long.

Nor am I a hunter, so I'll have to ask. Are squirrels typically hunted
with something akin to birdshot? Is that shot not made of lead? In
fact, "put it through a lead blender" sounds like a Spillane-esque way
of saying that you hit a squirrel with too big a cartridge.

BTW, this thread is very much on topic, as Ringwood has some great
mountain biking. It's a popular destination for NYC folk as it's one
of the closer places for "real" riding. Didn't know that it's a toxic
dump. Great.

Well, there ARE more toxic and less toxic areas....

Um, ah, squirrels are known to carry prions in their brains, the things
that cause Mad Cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans.

There have been outbreaks of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in parts of the
Southern Appalachians and Ozarks where squirrel head stew is a delicacy so
be careful about giving squirrels a clean bill of health.

NJ gets a bad rap. There are some really beautiful parts of the state like
up in the NW area along the PA border.

Chas.
 
oh yeah. we moved to Parsippany, NJ in 1957. Parsippany had more cows
than people. no cows now.
before the bridge went in and tunnels, NJ was sand, pine trees, tomato
farms and resorts even. Bell's financier lived up the street, ran the
countries first industrial complex.
Like Atlanta.

In another example of squirrel dastardliness, the pumpkin luring
innocent children to Fogel Labs was found to be lacking a hand-carved
front tooth before ignition tonight.

Tooth-marks were discovered around the jack-o'-lantern's missing fang.

The damned squirrels just couldn't wait until November before they
started gnawing on the pumpkin!

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

If I were going to blend a squirrel, especially a lead-bearing squirrel,
this would be the tool of choice:

Sounds like it's time for some "lead poisoning" to get rid of your
squirrels.

If that were true I'd have to give up local Chinese and outdoor cart
food. There's so much competition the price of cats is getting too
high, and not everybody likes pigeo...err, chicken.

/s
The other, other, OTHER white meat.
 
Why blend em? They'd be much better rendered. Or, even better,
distilled. A fine squirrely raffinate. MMMMMM.
