I don't recall ever seeing that in their catolag. Did I miss it? I'm a big fan of earthtones in my clothing; I want one. ;)

Ah, & a highlander at heart too. He looks very interested in that dig shiny sword. ;)

Did someone say squrrel in a kilt?

I think he needs a longer kilt.... His berries are peeking out...

Heehee, remindes me of an old joke.

What do you call a guy in a kilt? A scholar and a gentleman
What do you call a guy in an extremely short kilt? A Nancy boy
What do you call a guy in an kilt down to his ankles? A liar and a braggart

I thought that they were nocturnal, the ones we have up here in the northwest only come out at night.

All Hail the Fark Squirrel!!

BTW, I am constantly trapping squirrels in my attic. Never thought of turning them into a sporran. Hmmmmmmm...

Okay...here's where you guys find out just how old I really am...

....squirrels in kilts, eh? I remember a song and puppet piece that they used to use on Captain Kangaroo:

Angus McTavish McTarvish Dundee

There was a red squirrel lived up in a tree,
Name of Andrew McFergus McTavish Dundee.
Frisking high in the branches, oh, merry was he,
Was Andrew McFergus McTavish Dundee.

He nibbled on nuts he had stored, don't you see,
This Andrew McFergus McTavish Dundee,
And he bombed all the picnickers under his tree,
Did Andrew McFergus McTavish Dundee.

Now if I were not myself, I'd much like to be
Like Andrew McFergus Mctavish Dundee.
I'd not pay the rent, my meals would be free,
I would smile at you from the top of a tree,
Beside Andrew McFergus Mctavish Dundee!"

This was accompanied by a paper puppet bit featuring...wait for it....a squirrel in a kilt!

And I see that this was a tune done by the Limeliters...featuring Bob Gibson (big man in Chicago folk music circles).

And if you remember this, yer too damn old.

And thanks, Captain K, for being there for us kids...wish that you were still on TV for the current bunch!

Best

AA

...and what was that old movie that I saw on late at night recently that had a performing squirell in a kilt? ...The Great Rupert!
