I haven't been posting lately, mostly because of the holidays and the fact that I was without technology (aka unplugged) for about 10 days, and then I went back to work. Seeing as how I'm home sick with a bad bad bad cold I've got a little more time on my hands. Which brings me to Facebook. Need I say more?
YESTERDAY I received the following invitation: Squirrel Appreciation Day
Time Friday, January 21 · 12:00am - 11:55pm
Location The Whole Wide World
Created By If this group gets 1,000,000 people, It will have 1,000,000 people.
TODAY I received the following message from a certain Sheldon K Burns:
It has come to my attention that this event has been taken over by members of Alpha Gamma Delta. The aforementioned party has managed to run off some guests from this event, which is designed for the holiday of National Squirrel Appreciation Day. Just in case the definition of squirrel is a little hazy, here it is: any of numerous arboreal, adorable, cutesy, heart-warming, bushy-tailed rodents of the genus Sciurus, of the family Sciuridae.
So, sorority girls, young and old, I ask, no, demand you to stop running off the good people trying to appreciate the bushy tailed mammal that we all love. We value your attendance in this event and please feel free to invite all your sorority sisters. I only ask for you to please not run off the non-Greek lovers of all thing squirrel.
Everyone, please invite all your friends!
Thank you
Sheldon Burns, President

Let's dissect this shall we?
First of all, I didn't know anyone was REALLY named Sheldon, other than that guy on the Big Bang Theory. By the power of reasoning I can only assume that anyone with that same name is probably as much of a lonely virgin as Sheldon on BBT.
Furthermore, if your name is Sheldon and you create an event for the appreciation of squirrels and you know their actual scientific name & classification, I think you have a little more to worry about than a few old sorority girls. ATTENTION SQUIRRELS: HIDE on January 21, as I am not sure exactly what an adult male would mean by National Squirrel Appreciation Day. Just sayin'.
And another thought, the event is public, so why can't we be including ourselves? If you really wanted non-greek squirrel appreciating friends, you should have kept it private and invited the only three friends you have that you play online video games with. Duh.
And it isn't a REAL event, it's an all day squirrel love fest for the Whole Wide World. Again, squirrels take note of the above advice.
It also occurs to me that you mention that we're scaring off non-greek lovers. Seriously? Sheldon, by your photo it appears that you are an adult. When are you going to grow up? I am a 38 year old woman (by the way I never responded to the invite in case you're wondering) and the vast majority of the ladies you are telling to NOT pay attention to your little event more than likely finished college before you were even a zygote for shit's sake.
I also would like to point out that if you really want a million followers you probably DON'T want to piss off the 90% of the population out there who really give a rat's ass about squirrels.
And dearest Sheldon, please don't send those kinds of messages without thinking about who you are sending them to. It's rude. You'd be MUCH better off posting something to a public blog like I am. Oh, and by the way, personalities are on sale at Macy's. I suggest you go buy one.

EEEEEEYOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Too funny! I think you and Sheldon have a great future, sort of along the lines of, well, OK, people you're too young to remember but were hilarious nonetheless. He can write more silly things which you then can "dissect."
I mean, who really appreciates a friggin' squirrel. I got 'em running all over the yard and I don't. They are nothing more than rhodents in drag.
Great googamooga!
