A letter from the Squirrel Liberation Front

So today I received the following e-mail:


From: Squirrel Liberation Front

Subject: A Squirrel Liberation Front Position Paper

We have read the squirrelous accusations you have uttered at:

http://www.electricpenguin.com/blatherings/archives/003467.html

Our outrage knows no limit. We demand that you lower the shields on the bird feeder, and that you add more succulent bulbs to your garden, or this will be taken to the next level.

You do not want this taken to the next level.

Please see attachment. We are watching you. Very carefully.

This is SLF Position Paper number 315-A/7. Cacahuetes para libertad!

Attachment:




Since the mailvault.com e-mail address they used appears to be invalid, I'm posting my letter here instead:

-------------

Dear SLF,

Your feeble attempts to intimidate me are so like the laughable attempts of the local squirrels trying to infiltrate my Squirrelbuster (tm) feeder (see Figure 1a below).

As for your demands to sacrifice more helpless baby bulbs to the Furry Fiends, you have only galvanized my resolve to find a way to frustrate next year's would-be crocus-crunchers.

So watch away...watch and weep for your little bush-league hirsute pals.

Unterdrücken Sie die Eichhörnchen der Welt!

Yours cordially,

Debbie Ridpath Ohi

Loser Squirrel

Figure 1a.
