Default Wildfire blamed on flaming squirrel

This was just too funny a headline not to pass along.

I just hope this doesn't offend those that worry about goat hangings and such.

I mean I feel bad for the goat, and the squirrel, but this gave me a serious chuckle.

I, for one, welcome our new self-immolating squirrel overlords.

Do not laugh about flaming Squirrels!!! Serious problem!!!

In 2003 on Valentines Day, I was sick so I was staying at home with my gf. We started a fire (in the fireplace in the basement) and after a hour or so I opened the fire place to stoke the fire and a black smoking (previous flaming) squirrel jumped out of the fireplace at me and scared the hell out of me. We had to herd him out of the house. and for years after we still saw that squirrel with no fur on its neck and shoulders.

This could spread into a major issue with flaming squirrels over runnning the world, they've attacked me... you could be next.

Time to kill all squirrels. They are dangerous and steal nuts.

Anyone remember The great fire of 1979 that supposedly started in a garage when a chipmunk ingested some fertilizer and then fell into a can of kerosene, instantly turning him into a flying fluffy little molatov cocktail that set ablaze leveling the whole neighborhood west of Newton's Hardware Store? That was pretty cool huh?

Squirrels don't kill people, squirrels on fire kill people.

Lol, is that a true story?

Re: Nickerjones, sorry bro, I'm from Calgary, though I'm kinda nomadic now. If I ever make it down to Oklahoma though, I'll message ya up and you can show me where to get the best buffalo wings.
