Middle one, huh?

Rick,

You say you have no sense of humor... I've not been around here long (and may not be around for much longer if I give you a clear shot) but I think you do have a sense of humor.

I'll change that picture if you'd like...

**Rick** · 06-02-2008, 06:36 PM

Naw. Then I wouldn't have anything to hold over your head. That wouldn't do at all.

You could always post something in the "Making Stuff Up" part of the forum. Oh wait - Making Stuff. Got it. Making Stuff.

That would be what we refer to as a chipmunk. My killer cat won't even eat chipmunk.

How much wood would a chipmunk chip if a chipmunk could chip wood? And would he if he could?

Oh! I am soooo tempted to mess with that picture!

I think that big red button would be mashed down if I did though.

I have not eaten gopher but barbecued groundhog if that counts! Tasted like chicken of course!

**dragonjimm** · 06-03-2008, 02:03 AM

i've not eaten any but the old timers around here tell me its not to bad, not as greasy as possum or as stringy as raccoon. supposed to be similar to beaver......

**buttercup** · 06-05-2008, 12:25 PM

My dad came from Ky and he told me that he has eaten both 'coon and possum. I think I could stand the raccoon before possum; they are just nasy looking animals to me.........the thought of eating a possum sends a shudder down my spine. I would have to be realllllllllllly hungry.

True gophers have neither spot nor stripes. Look up Pocket Gopher. Beyond that, geography tends to determine what folks refer to as gophers.

**bulrush** · 06-25-2008, 07:50 AM

Those chipmunks with white spots on the black lines are called "ground squirrels" here, confirmed by looking them up in a book, and they might even be in wikipedia.com. But there are different types of ground squirrels too. So maybe they are the same as a "gopher" or "pocket gopher". But a marmot is the same as a groundhog, right? But marmot is the term for them in the west.

There was a ground squirrel digging holes at the base of our pine tree so I hunted him down with my BB gun. He was facing away from me and I shot him right in the nads. He must have jumped 3 feet straight up, honest.
