I lurve chipmonkersons! I used to cut up oranges and leave them outside for the chipmonks when I lived in Il. They were all "WHOO HOO! You're the BESTEST!"

BlueFairy, you are right, that is a red squirrel. Chipmunks have stripes. I'm suprised he's not trying to chase the skiier away, little reds have SUCH attitudes!

Now that is definitely Scat from Ice Age. He's chasing the acorn...just...out..of...reach.

Run little guy...run

Rob

that doesnt look real.

jen
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 10:14 AM

Totally, Jen. Nobody's skis are THAT short.

Theo
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 10:20 AM

Theo & Jen...totally real. It was one of the pics featured on MSNBC's "This Week in Pictures," as was the baby orang & tiger cub.

McSquirrelsons is like me this morning, running to catch the inbound train.

Red sqirrels are cute. Chipmunks are cute. But sorry, obvious and badly-done photo-shoppings aren't cute.

If that chimpmunk was here in MN he would stay hidden yet still a blizzard warning and blowing snow but maybe he ran out nuts had to run to his other hidden stash of goodies, safe journey little one.

looks photoshopped to me too

Julie
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 10:34 AM

That squirrel looks like he was photoshopped on there. But still cool. 'Wheres my nuts wheres my nuts'??

I saw this on msnbc's photos of the week this morning! It was the last one, it tewtally shocked me and I gasped out loud in my cubicle!

Molly
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 10:41 AM

Hmmm... that "source image" link only works if I copy-and-paste the URL location into the address bar, manually. You can also go here...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3842331/
...and click on the "Feb. 22 - March 1" heading. Look for the last (14th) photo in the slideshow.

Theo
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 10:53 AM

I totally thought it was 'shopped too. Still fun but shopped. Until I looked at the source image on msnbc. Hilarious. And very real.

I ski, you ski,
Red skwerlski skidaddleski.
I don't see inkjetski watermark,
I don't see ASCII or Fark, of Photoshop renown.
I ski, you ski,
We all ski down.

Methinks Pyrit has been hittin' the Bunneh Cremes and the Catnip Margarita pops. Early.

Theo
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 12:44 PM

OK, I looked up the source. All that proved to me is that MSNBC is not above photo-shopping. It's photo-friggin'-shopped a'ready, peeps!

violetgreen
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 12:48 PM

It's an AP photo, VioletGreen. Russ Dillingham is the photographer. If it was faked, there'd be repercussions. So I very much doubt it's been digitally altered.

Theo
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 12:56 PM

Theo - Whiski?


pyrit
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 01:08 PM

Don't mind if I do.

Theo
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 01:10 PM

Okay--fess up peeps.

Who's been feeding Sammy (or Hammy) sugar and caffeine?

Yo, so I was hanging out on a ski-slope and I almost got run over by a skier, and as he sped past he was like WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Gillian
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 01:22 PM

AND OMG OMG GILLIAN I SAW R2D2 AND HE WAS ALL LIKE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! BLEEP!

omg theo - 3brain - too funny. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

the pic still looks fake.

jen
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 02:49 PM

I can never reclaim the seconds it took to watch that WEEEEEEE video. Good thing I'm feeling squirrely.

Tor
 |  Mar 02, 2007 at 04:24 PM

Theo.....biiiiiiiiggggggggg repercussions. Photojournalists have in fact been caught doctoring photos, and they're lucky to escape with their lives.....

On the other hand, sometimes reality is just too good to be true. (And I always suspected Bert was evil.)
