If you’ve ever poked around the ol’ Lint Screen, you may have come across a section called ‘About da Blog.’ Much like any good mission statement, this page clearly sets forth the Raison d’être (French for ‘Raisin Bran’) of this intellectual public forum. This page also includes a request for pictures of squirrels dressed as blacksmiths, for no other reason than I had never seen one and thought the rest of humanity might enjoy rodents dressed as metallurgical artisans.
Lo and behold, a few pictures came forward, and now the world can see these wonders. Now, one of the masters of squirrel art has forged beyond blacksmithing to ‘squirrel dentistry.’ Mr. Scott Day, a young man looking to make a name in the marketing world, recently shared the following image for me and for you.
Open wide, rinse, spit, enjoy.

Don’t forget the this Scott Day fellow is looking to be gainfully employed. Whoever he is.
Yes, yes he is looking for a job. Hire him, please.
If the pictured squirrel has moved on to dentistry, there might be an opening for his old job as a blacksmith. If Scott Day has any experience as a blacksmith he should check it out.
Good point. Blacksmithery is a bustling career choice, plus, always easy to whip up a game o’ horseshoes.
Very astute observations. But alas, when the recruiters discover that you; 1. are in fact not fuzzy, 2. don’t forage and 3. have no desire to relocate to the woods, the interview process comes to a grinding halt. That was a song By The Cure, which makes me wonder if even Robert Smith would be able to pull off the Squirrel façade well enough to ace the phone screening .
Song by The Cure about interviewing? Really?
OK the song is only about the ‘grinding halt’ part, but I think with the current gloom and doom hanging about in the employment sector that this would be right up their alley.
Thanks for clarifying. Cure and doom with gloom I buy, Cure with job hunting advice, no dice. Keep at it, Squirrel Man!
