Isn’t this the self serve window?
I don’t work for peanuts….
My caption for this picture would be: “Hey, the Cardinals Baseball Team is looking for your”
Mine…all MINE!
FREE FREE FREE AT LAST. NOW THAT I COUGHT THE LID OFF. BUT WHO WOULD LEAVE ALL THESE NUTS. HAHAHA
Ever since this family started recycling finding the good stuff is easy, I dont have to sift thru all that junk.
Well…..they had tornado warnings out!
What???
You were expecting Oscar the Grouch???
Sometimes you feel like a nut……
Who’s been eating my food?
This food is trash. I will not recommend this place to eat!
STAY AWAY FROM ME WITH THAT MALLET!!! I’M JUST AFTER THE PEANUTS!!
Nothing can stop me! I am invincible!! Now, where’d those seeds go??
Now I know why Oscar the Grouch lives in a garbage can!!!
Dinner from a can:)
I want the nuts out of the can not the nuts off the floor.
I think I just hit the goldmine !
‘I outsmarted that lady who feeds the birds but not me!’
Aha… I hit the mother load!
Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
I hope they don’t remember they left the lid off
Hey lady, ya got anymore nuts?
A rub-a-dub-dub and thanks for the grub.
Now, if you squirrels could stay in here and off of the BIRD feeders, then I’d be happy!
I bet you (Mr. Squirrel) are thinking that life is boring since there in no way you can destroy a metal can!
Can’t out fox me!
….And she thought I couldn’t remove the lid…I don’t keep my nails trimmed for nuttin you know?
I love squirrels, but maybe putting on the lid right now would be a good thing for my wallet! Nah, I just can’t do it!
ewww, this is the COMPOST bucket!!!
Why eat the handful when you can have the whole can full?!?!
Hey, wheres’ the NUTS!!!!!!
Why eat the handful when you can have the whole can-full?
Aha!!! They finally built a metal building just for squirrels:-)
“Coast is clear….get the nuts!!”
Don’t even thing about it,it’s mine all mine !!!!!!!!
if you’d feed me properly, i wouldn’t be reduced to scrounging in the garbage like this..
What? You’ve never seen a squirrel in a can?
Guess this isn’t an exercise wheel! So I’ll just fill my pockets up with goodies!!
We need to talk, you know, you are making this way more difficult than it has to be!!
Oh, oh, I found the mother-lode…hope no-one sees me!!
OH NO!!! I’ve been canned!!!!
Ernie decided to wade into the political arena and “Occupy Trash Can”.
That must have been one bodacious house warming!
They always return to the scene of the crime. I’ll just hide in here and wait.
“Would someone please put that lid on so I can eat in peace!”
Sorry if I distgurbed you – just stopped by for a morning snack!
“Who you calli’ Trashy?”
Eureka! The Fort Knox for peanuts!!!
Comment… “as Nuts!!! I was gonna suprise you!!”

Caught red handed
This is the best “Squirrel Buffet” that I’ve been to.
So,,,Your Trash is My Treasure!
” I heard there was a new buffet in town.”
I was trying to keep the chipmunks out of them…honest!!!
It’s okay, quality control sent me.
Um. Hi. I was, um, just passing by, and, um, saw this lid open, and um, noticed that mess of peanuts over there… And, um, yeah. It wasn’t me, okay?
Watchful
PAYLOAD!!!!
Where else would you put shells?
“Now this, my friends, is a squirrel feeder!”
Who me? You think I have opposable thumbs?
“Aaaah! Peanut nest on the porch!”
And you thought I would settle for just a few!!!!
Caption for fri8day photo: Please don’t tel my parole officer.
Who me? I didn’t do ‘nuthin!
Please don’t tell my parole officer.
Hey! I found all my peanuts so where’s the prize?! By the way nice new Cracker Jack packaging!
“I’m putting all my nuts in one basket – so what if they are not eggs?”
ok….where am I?
All that work to get the lid off only to find that the birds have eaten all the seed.
Oh, no. The garbage man beat me to it again.
What? At least I’m not running in front of your car trying to make you gave a wreck…
God bless this food I am about to eat!
Ahhhhh. Forget the peanuts I’m going for the GOLD!
WELL, THOUGHT I WOULD HELP MYSELF SINCE YOU LEFT THE LID OFF.
