No, it's a specific squirrel created by Beatrix Potter, whose work definitely belongs in this thread.

And if BACA could ever be considered cute, adorable or uplifting, Peter Rabbit, Tank Killer surely is.

Unfortunately not, although I did have a ginger cat called Nutkin when I was a kid (named after the character).

My parents live near some pinewoods and often get red squirrels in their garden, they are so cute.

Dog, what are you doing? Get away from there.
You don't even have thumbs.
Giles Coren has led me astray. :(

Though I've only lived in the continental US for a few years, I now no longer think of the gray squirrel as a cute and fluffy neighborhood companion. But I do remember seeing these several years ago when I visited the Grand Canyon.



These are Abert's squirrels.




These are Kaibab squirrels, which are an example of evolutionary divergence through geographic isolation. Both species are cute as gently caress.

Around here we get Douglas Squirrels which are brown black with orange tummies. They are also a lot smaller than the gray squirrels I lived near as a child. They are very very cute.

One of my family's cats just died. She was 15 years old. She loved three people and one cat and hated everything and everybody else, but if you were one of those people she was pretty awesome and as far as cat's life went, she had a good one.

I didn't find any pictures of her on my new computer, so here is a cute cat to commemorate her life. I know she would have hated it with passion. Other cats were her favorite thing to hate. :unsmith:

That is just wonderful. That first boy being interviewed...man, bless his parents for raising him not only to respect others but also to be open about his feelings. Stories like this make me think there's going to be a huge pushback against bullying in the youngest generation.

Bikers are pretty often real stand-up guys. My mate's uncle is a biker and one of his buddies still has a faint scar from his eye to his chin where he got slashed for intervening in an attempted rape. He was millimetres from losing an eye but still not only fought the guy long enough for the girl to get away, but held him down until the police arrived. The guy's really softly-spoken too, and still apologises for swearing around women he doesn't know are OK with it.

I think it's just that there's no such creature as the "biker." Criminal thug rapist scumbags ride motorcycles, and church-going orthodontists who spend their weekends feeding the homeless ride motorcycles. There's this persistent image of the biker as an outlaw that developed (in America, at least) in the post-World War II years and refuses to go away. A motorcycle is a means of transportation, not a definer of your humanity.

I don't think he's talking about "biker" as just any dude riding a bike, but a guy who has a leather vest with a patch, tattoos etc. Your point obviously stands there too, though.
