::plaintively:: why aren't the damn squirrels hibernating yet?

they don't hibernate, they move in with their human assistants

I've noticed squirrels following me around the university for the last week.
The sightings appear to be focussing on the zoology building. I wonder what their plotting in there.

parhaps some sort of experiment, me thinks you should investigate

i still firmly believe that the squirrels are plotting coalitions with other animals and expanding their forces in order to repress the sparking revolution of humans. go ahead, don't listen to me, don't believe me, but when they strike and i'm in hiding already and you're not don't blame me....

Should we turn HPTF into a bunker?

I am starting to believe that the squirrels may be forming coalitions. But with who and why?

What is HPTF?

What is HPTF?

I am joining the revolution. I have ultimate proof of the nature of squirrels. They come and dance on my dog's grave...

and they jump out at me on my leafy walk to the station and scare the bejesus out of me. Little tykes!

hptf is a bunker already. well, a fortress anyway. close enough.
and for ye lucky unknowing innocents, hptf is as close to hell as one can get in this world. or in nyc, anyway. oh heck, it's not hell no matter how you look at it, but i must be allowed my pretensions! (in other words, it's a "high school")

or if you go the arches, its a school for the high, but thats an entierly different rant.

It could not be much worse than my high school. I left as early as I could get into University. Some of my friends didn't take my advice and are still stuck there. It's a tragedy. However next year they should be joining next year and I'm going to apply to help out at next years fresher's week. (I think the American equivelent is the fraternity but I'm not sure).

PS. Welcome Abi. We need more poeple if we are going to fight the squirrels. Here have some fish .

we don't have fraternaties at our high school, infact, I don't think any high school does. Maybe you mean homecoming?

I think I may have caused some confusion.
In Scotland, High school can last up to six years. I had enough qualifications to get into university at the end of fifth year, so I decided not to do a sixth year because I hated the school too much.
Some of my friends (who also could have left) chose not to. Therefore, since last year, I have been a year above them. This is annoying as the holiday's are different and I hardly get a chance to see them.
Freshers week is the week of the university year. During this time the freshers (new students) are introduced to the uni, manhandled into joining a union and some societies, and often indecently assaulted by older students given the duty of freshers helpers.
Next year, my old schoolmates will be freshers. I'm considering becoming a helper. Let the interesting situations arise.

PS. I haven't seen the squirrels at the zoology building for a while. I think they may have gone underground after spotting me following them. A lot of people do this.

in hptf, high school normally lasts for six years. unless you collapse from sheer exhaustion earlier on. or unless the squirrels get you.

or you fail, or time passes realy slowly because you have a really boring teacher, or....

...or if you seriously piss off eichler by "disrespecting her"...

or hit your health teacher with a door right before she grades your paper....

...or if you get caught selling a revolutionary treaty instead of the school magazine, or attempting to blow up the science corridor by leaving on all the gas taps and chucking firebmbs throught the window, or insulting the head ned's hairdo, or wearing the wrong football strip, or being caught strapping a fish to the headmasters exhaust pipe...

Or maybe that was just my school. It was full or squirrel allies.

did you do all this or is it just advice for us?
