The 20teens just looked at the 90s boogers and farts obsession and said “hold my beer.”

I’ll confess to finding that shocking. Maybe it’s for someone else?

When he’s in Melbourne these days he stays in the hotel across the road from where I work, so I’ve seen him a few times on the street. The one word that, unexpectedly, springs to mind every time is “dapper”.

He’s always appeared dapper, but I can’t imagine a surfactant ever touching that hair.

Alas no picture or video, but quite a thing.
My parents live further out in the country than us (surrounded by houses, but they’ve got a good acre and change of Sonoran desert surrounding their house, and are about a half mile from parkland.
They put seed (usually quail blocks) out on a stone platform outside their bedroom and office windows: often used by the quail (and javelinas, if they forget to shut the gate completely), but also by Round Tailed Ground Squirrels and sparrows, towhees, etc.
They say the ground squirrels get up to 10 inches long (including tail), but that’s a big one. The biggest ones I’ve seen, stretched out, would not be 8.
Anyway, we’re looking out the windows, watching mostly ground squirrels and sparrows pick at the quail block, with the ground squirrels fighting each other over priority, when one ground squirrel sneaks around the side of the stone platform on the ground, then suddenly leaps up the side and grabs a sparrow by the throat, pulling it down to the ground. With the sparrow flapping and fighting, this tiny 3-4 oz. creature then drags it under a mesquite tree, stops for a moment, then keeps dragging it around the side of the house. I raced out to try and get video, but by the time I got there he was long gone, I can only assume down a hole.
And then I learned that squirrels of all kinds are ominvores:
Hmm. Nothing more to say, I guess.
