Otis what have I done??

adwb · 04-27-2015, 08:00 AM

Dear Otis,

I found, this morning on coming to work, that this Anarchist Action Network poster had been put on a light pole outside my studio over the weekend, and, quite frankly I am terrified.

I have no idea what I have done wrong or what or who I can contact to make it better!

I have never ever, ever , said anything bad or done anything deliberately or intentionally to offend any member of the Local or International Sciuridae family.

We used to have trees with our squirrels in them but the bl***y local Parks Dept cut them down, I tried to stop them but they threatened to cut me down to!

I know I have a couple of cats but I have had a frank, meaningful and serious discussion with them, and, both Tigger and Thomas swear they have done nothing to bring this on and they are also very worried.

I have spoken to my insurance company who kindly informed me that non of my cameras , lenses studio lights, backdrops, stands or biscuits are insured if we are attacked by the A.A.N as it falls under the heading of either a terrorist

attack or a act of war both of which are clearly excluded in my studio's insurance policy.

I implore you to advise me what is the best course of action to take, and I would be very greatfull if you could contact and intercede with this A.A.N. organisation.

thank you,

Alistair (very worried) Barclay,

Bristol England.

This has all the earmarks of activism by the dreaded Devil Squirrel.

He heads up international squirrel terrorism and has been a top recruiter for several years now. He's wanted around the globe, but is very elusive.

His posters can be seen at many locations, perhaps even near you?

I don't have much pull with the Devil Squirrel, in fact he once said he wanted to eliminate me for lousy photography of squirrels. However, I have a sure-fire solution. Corn, Sunflower seeds, Pecans, and roasted peanuts will mellow out the toughest of Army squirrels. Just keep them well fed and they won't have time to destroy your property...which is what their intention is if you don't pay up. Extortion is a dirty racket, but not half as bad as what angry squirrels can do to your communication lines, auto wiring and even your home wiring.

Get that feed out as quickly as possible...the life you save may be your own!

Regards! & Otis sends his regards...and wishes you Good Luck!

BTW- Otis did mention that those bolt cutters in your poster were not for wiring, they can gnaw apart any wiring...it is for nuts. He just didn't say who's nuts! That would worry me a lot!

Otis reminds...check your brake lines daily...or every time you leave your driveway...squirrels just love brake lines...on special select vehicles.
