Just a Squirrel Tryin' To Get A Nut




This is a salt and pepper shaker set that I bought from a seller on eBay. Her auction description assures me that Mr. Squirrel is casually riding a mushroom down the road - but I'm going to call this one as I see it and will address the elephant in the room:


Penis.


Mr. Squirrel and his phallic mushroom car were also subsequently and harshly judged by the residents of the Kitschville Knick-Knack Shelf  as well.




He was forced out of town and eventually took refuge just over the county line with others who had been cast out .





Until next time,
x's and o's,
Eartha

    That doesn't even remotely resemble a mushroom!

    Kudos for buying that, it's fantastic.

    I'm an "old widow woman" and have been out of the penis game for years, but to the best of my recollection, that's what they look like. :) I have to admit that I was already cracking up by the time I finished reading your title and knew this was gonna be a good one.

    I must say that the alarm clocks do look sufficiently outraged to have been the ring leaders of the movement to tar and feather Mr. Squirrel. I bet they wouldn't be averse to burning books either.

    I totally feel like I know you since your stuff would enjoy hanging out and making trouble with our stuff.

    We too have an other side of the bookcase crowd. The ringleaders are Charlie Ruggles and Clancy-they can't resist whooping it up. That's Charlie with Cucumonga there. Sheesh.

    That just made me laugh out loud at 8.30 in the morning which is quite something. Also makes me feel sooo much better about the contents of my last blog post at asparaguspea.blogspot.com

    That last picture made me actually laugh out loud. The hopefulness of the other county line knickknacks. The one winking eye of the styrofoam snowman seems sinister!
