Glad to be of service.

Take that BACK!! I am in no mood to hear the revered name of Guinea Pig besmirched!! Take one look and faint?? Not bloody likely. The only things that have made me faint in the last 57 years is seeing people with their faces ripped off. Aside from that, we Guinea Pigs are a damn hardy bunch!!

So, fie on you, you non-Guinea Pig type person!! I fart in your general direction!!

So that was what I smelled. I thought it was the legislature back in session....

Nope, it was just me farting. The smell that comes from any body of legislators is MUCH worse than that.

And, I'm not speaking to you until you say something nice about guinea pigs. Except for that .... and this.

Montsnmags Enterprises is an equal opportunity employer, and all varieties of squirrels are welcome to seek gainful employment with us in individual or unionised form. Without going into too much detail on private contracts, subcontracts, and "contracts", I'd like to advise that Montsnmags Enterprises has gained a complete and utter (and, of course, totally evil) monopoly on all squirrel-based services throughout the multiverse. Naturally, as in any monopoly, this will mean certain departments' and subdivisions' disputes and campaigns effectively have Montsnmags Enterprises actively participating in wars against itself. My squirrels enjoy the occasionaly stoush. Circle of life. It's all a rich tapestry.

It is important, however, to highlight that though a squirrel is a squirrel is a squirrel is ARRRGGHHH! My face!, that of all inevitabilities in the multiverse - be they death, taxes, supernova, Chevy Nova, entropy, bad movie remakes, or that you will at some time between this particular universe's Big Bang and its Last Cigarette attend a Montsnmags Party - the Pirate Ninja Squirrel supersedes all. They are the alpha and the omega. They are the beginning and THEY WILL BE YOUR END! The "dark matter" and the "dark energy" of the universe - that 90%+ of missing "stuff" in the multiverse that, to give you a sense of scale, not only holds galaxies together but drags clusters and superclusters of galaxies together and sometimes beyond an entire universe's event horizon...yep, Pirate Ninja Squirrels.

They can no more be beaten than your average hand-formed clumping of delicately crystalised water can relax for a few hours on a deck chair on the lava-lapped shores of a post-death retirement village for the damned. They don't win; they just are.

Saying this, however, it should be noted that the limits of Montsnmags Enterprises, while parametered by very few of your usual quantum super-and-silly-string dimensions, make us not so much (by which I mean, not at all) employers of any Pirate Ninja Squirrel in either group or individual form. It is merely that certain discordant anomalies (Montsnmags Parties), chaotically serendipitous chemical events (Zany Carter Deluxe), and vanguard developments in our Industrial Military Complex Advancement Department (for example, the Higgs Bosonic Hunting Rifle) have placed our endemic presence throughout the multiverse in the unique position of being in accord and assistance with the actions and perhaps even the unknowable "aims" of the all-pervasion that is the Pirate Ninja Squirrels.

"Marc's squirrels" are certainly defeatable (if only by another division of Marc's squirrels), but the PNS have no word for defeat, and their word for Legions of Llamas is "Yummy!".

This delusion has been brought to you by the colour ZORANGE, the number ELEVENTY, and the letter PORTUGAL!

see, i did try to tell them, but they're stunningly foolhardy in the face of squirrels. you'd think they would have learned by now.

Are there no pacifist squirrels?

You know-- happy, furry, fun loving little critters that just wish to jump in your lap, share a peanut and maybe receive a pat on the head, and then move on without eating the face or any other portion of the body.

Please tell me such squirrels exist or I will be haunted by the the grim vision of pirate ninja squirrels for all of eternity.

no, there are, it's just that the PNS squads don't want you to know about them, or it will ruin their reputation ! so they've hired a PR manager to chat up their insatiable blood-lusting vicious side.

(just don't let on you know they're really just sweet and fuzzy and want a cuddle and a peanut. )

You might check to see what PNS had access to the Zany Carter receipe. Being pirates, they are very susceptible to bribery. As one of them told me, the only thing better than a Montsnmag paycheck, is a Monysnmag paycheck and another paycheck as well....

I voted for AZ, but after thinking about it,
I like Always Zelda a whole lot better....

Oh, I don't pay them at all. I'm not their employer - no-one is - any more than a floating twig "employs" a roaring flood. I just enjoy the benefits of being in a position to go with their flow. Any influence I have is a ripple, and most of my ripples are dedicated to directing their attention towards LazyScot, simply for the "Giggle"s. Montsnmags Parties, the ZCD, my armoury...all may simply be refractive aberrations in the universal hologram, caused by a twitch of a whisker at the boundary. If anyone wants to pay them for their services, be my guest, but you may as well contract the entire vacuum of space to clean your loungeroom rug. Good luck with that.

Cheers,
Marc
