The Hipster Kitties
And their imaginary friends
Garden Pests of California
Spicoli: “Hey, dude. Trying out a new look?”
Vermin: “HISSS! Nasty dog! When the sprinklers in that field came on, they softened up the pomade so I could escape, but then it hardened up again and gave me a pompadour. What are you all doing out here?”
Spicoli: “Something’s been eating the tomatoes before they’re harvested, so we’re setting up a secret surveillance camera to see what it is.”
Mr. Nibbles: “The angle looks good, friend mouse. Let’s take a picture and make sure everything is working.”
Mr. Nibbles: “The picture looks good. I’m still worried that the lens is a little bit obvious, though.”
Mouse: “It’ll be fine. Typically animals that raid gardens or rabbits or squirrels or, you know, opossums. They’re pretty stupid. It won’t even notice the camera.”
Vermin: “HISS! Nasty mouse! We are not stupid! Umm, I mean, they. They are not stupid.”
Mouse: “Uh-huh. Anyway, let’s go inside and wait for the camera to catch something.”
Later …
Vermin: “HISSS! Baaa ha ha ha! I take it back! The mouse was one hundred percent correct about the intelligence of the garden-raiding animal! Ha ha ha!”
Charlee: “I’m very disappointed, Chaplin. I thought we were going to get to see a squirrel or a bunny.”
Chaplin: “What could be eating / Our patio tomatoes? / Guess ‘Dennis’, win prize.”
Mouse: “Well we should probably destroy this surveillance footage before it falls into the wrong hands.”
Ghost of Richard Nixon: “Burn the tapes!”

I agree with Dennis’s theory – if it tastes good, STEAL IT! Cameras be damned. Get it, buddy.

We agree also! People tend to grow so much more than they need, why not take a few? It’s not all the peoples fault as sometimes the vegetables and fruit have a mind of their own and try to overpopulate growers. And that is why they should be glad to share.
