The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

Some of you may have viewed the "Ice Age" CGI series. The first film, as almost always, was the best (we also have films 2, 3, and 4 - the last one was very meh!). But common to all is the sabre-toothed squirrelrat called Scrat. Well, some of the (European) red squirrels - which have a melanism making some of them equivalents of the "black panthers" of leopards - "cruising" the meadow to be seen from our west-facing balcony definitely have some Scrat-issues. Trying to bury a walnut in the rather drought-hardened meadow, and mostly failing. But they are stubborn, just like Scrat trying to bury an acorn on a glacier. Makes for amusement for us non-squirrels (they are probably severely frustrated). 😄
