Two incredibly precious discoveries this week:
The first is from a bumpersticker and seems to be in response to bragging bumperstickers and other communications -- you know the type -- "My child made honor roll at Universal Kindergarten" or "My rottweiler can beat up your honor roll student". The founders claim to have started "a movement that allows people in America to come out of their messy closets and embrace “imperfection.”" It's called Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid -- http://www.shutupabout.com.
The other site was started by a woman who adopted an abandoned baby squirrel, named her Sugarbush, and started making costumes for her. Several thousands of costumes later (including Benazir Bhutto, Fidel Castro, a Japanese emperor, and members of different military branches), a web site was born -- http://www.sugarbushsquirrel.com/.
The woman herself is a former (I think) country-western star as well as a pinup model and general military cheerer-upper. Pictures of the human that grace the site are nearly as entertaining of the ones of the superstar rodent. Sugarbush is touted as the "World's Most Photographed Squirrel," which I don't doubt for a second. Her big sister is a lime-green parrot named Rio.

Someone promise me that when I die doing something heroic, the website that decides to 'honor' me by painting tears on a rodent will get taken down hard.
FJ -- roar. That was *really* funny. I think if I'm reincarnated as a rodent, I'd prefer not to be honored by a pinup doll who sings country western. Fame and fortune would not be on my list of requirements; I'd be happy with a few nuts and a comfortable nest to sleep in.
