OMG, I loved that scene in the movie. Everytime my daughter wants to make me laugh she says "Mummy, I want that squirrel!" in her fake Brit accent. Sorry ya gotta work Squirrel. My backyard squirrels are at work right this minute quarreling with the blue jays and they are all making a huge ruckus. Squirrels are busy all over the planet it seems.
Claudia, Thanks. I knew that I could count on you.
claire, It has been a looooong and unpleasant week in the mines. Yup, lot of quarrels with the blue jays here too. It's a great scene though, isn't it. Apparently they actually trained squirrels for that sequence.
msw, O, Canada, home to free grey squirrels...... I replied your email saying that you now know what to get me for Christmas.....but it better be thermals if I am going to visit in Paradise.
meggie, Well, thank you but sadly I am feeling a little under appreciated at work at the moment.
molly and pam, If you haven't seen this sequence, you really must do. It is done by trained squirrels and is really quite funny as well as amazing how they got the squirrels to do the sequence. It is from the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate factory."
mark, if you invest in nut mines, you will become an example of the greedy capitalist neo-colonialists who are the enemy of free squirrels everywhere.
violetsky, This is a scene from the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in which trained squirrels are checking for bad nuts before they are used in making chocolates. Quite hilarious.
What a way to make a living in a mine? Do they have Dumbo fly over to keep the line going? There are days when that picture looks like a fairly true picture of my days.
That is such a great photo! (Believe it or not, I had to stop mid-comment when my son dropped his gerbil on me.) Anyway, srory your being forced to work this weekend. Hope you get a breaksoon.
naturegirl, Thanks for coming by and also for leaving a comment. The photo is a still from a movie, "Charlie and the Chocolate factory" which in turn is based on a Roald Dahl children's book. I do not know the details but they apparently trained squirrels for this scene in which they sit on these chairs and take the nuts out of the shells.
CZ, thanks. I like how your boys are so close to nature. Don't blame the gerbil! :)
I bet you thought everyone would recognize that scene! Thanks. Hadn't seen the newer version.
My 7Wonders journey is done. And I've a reward for your inspiration on mine, so when you are taking a break from working, gather your nuts and wander by.
That reminds me of the civets that eat the coffee beans and poop out coffee that sells for $500 a pound. So do those little squirrels poop out peanut butter?
odat, Thank you for calling for help. We were freed but it was too late for me. The ordeal made my hair turn grey......oh,wait. I guess it was already grey before!
The best squirrel picture! I have a healthy population of youngster squirrels in the yard about now... they have 4 squirrel condos to live in while Mom and Dad have run off to Tahiti...
I am a scientist who enjoy the arts; a socialist who wishes to be rich; a food enthusiast who wishes to be skinny and a human who loves squirrels. Just a nutter trying to make sense of the world.

That is horrible. I am making ,my save the squirrel signs now. It just can not continue.
Ha ha ha ha! What movie is this from? I have to see it!
Come and read my trilogy of poems about animal rescues. One is a squirrel!
Kat
AACKKK..I thought they had abolished squirrel slavery !!!
Come back to Paradise - here squirrels are free!!!! And as you saw in my posts about the donut wars, they can even join the military .
Did you get my e-mail about the squirrel undergarments ?
Poor busy Squirrel.
Hope you can get a good reward for all your hard work!
What an hilarious picture...Where's it from?
Yeah LGS...where's it from? I love it.So funny.
Hmmm I am going to invest in nut mines!
Are you having as much fun as those squirrels seem to be having??
Someone: pls fill us ignorants in on this scene.
Claudia,

dr. john,
Thanks, every bit counts for squirrel freedom.
kat,
It's a scene from the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" starring Johnny Depp.

OH my goodness where do you find this stuff LOL That is downright hilarious. Ok now I know - have not seen that movie but must make an attempt to. :)
Oh, no. That's no way to treat a squirrel.
Why is there always some nut in charge?
What a way to make a living in a mine? Do they have Dumbo fly over to keep the line going?
There are days when that picture looks like a fairly true picture of my days.
Hope the squirrels get free soon.
janice,
It is a whimsical story which I think was written by Roald Dahl, the famous writer of children's stories.
heart,
Not just a nut in charge but .....a bad nut!
joyce,
it's no fun in the nut mines. See how the squirrels' tails are all drooping down.
From one squirrel lover to another..great photo..is there a trick here?
Squirrels around here run through gardens and woodlands gathering nuts.

squirrelmama,
Squirrel tails are not meant to droop like that.
violetsky,
yes, I did think people would recognise that scene...haha. Thanks for the award. Such a nice thing to get.
jo,
sometimes your imagination is even more warped than mine! :)
OK...I called e'one I know...Did it work?
Peace
Are they nuts keeping you at work. We are coming to take you away away
Scary!
odat,
Thank you for calling for help. We were freed but it was too late for me. The ordeal made my hair turn grey......oh,wait. I guess it was already grey before!
marja,
