Squirrel Attack! [Dream funnies]

OK then professors of psychology and madness, answer me this: all dreams have some kind of meaning… so where does this come from, what does it mean?

Last night I had a dream that there was a fairground that could only open during the day, because at night, the fairground was attacked by giant mutant squirrels that were attracted to the smell of roasting peanuts and candyfloss, so the fairground had to be locked up and have an electric fence. Cut to the hero (me) in a long duster coat, a Remington pump action shotgun loaded with walnut shells and rock-salt, and the task of getting rid of the giant mutant squirrels.

Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever walked round a fairground when it’s closed up. I have, and it’s strange… the one in my dream was even stranger, because it’s totally deserted, but all the stalls are open and all the lights on… that strange music they play – you know, twisted barrel organ music on old warped tapes – , was playing. But it’s just me Vs the giant mutant squirrels.

You couldn’t make this shit up could you?

Needless to say, because I don’t sleep very well… I woke up before any sort of resolution.

End

And yes, I did spend ten mins making that picture from bits I nicked off the internet.

  1. Reserve this idea now. There’s a B-movie in the making I’m sure.

    Who could play you?

    Ed Norton I suppose…

    All we need is to decide why the mutant squirrels are giant mutant squirrels in the first place but I think tis has legs. Don’t you?

  2. They’re quite obviously a failed Nazi genetic creation. They wanted to create a blond furred, blue eyes squirrel to take over the woodlands of invaded countries, but sadly it went horrifically wrong. The few remaining creatures that survived were let out into the wild be mistake because one of the night guards at the base was pissed on Liebfraumilch and left the cages open while wandered off to find a light for his cigarette…

    And after a few short years interbreeding in the forest: giant mutant squirrels that just love roasting nuts and candy floss.

    Obvious really. Oh yes it has legs, and a big bushy tail too…
    And all of this B-Movie gold is up here on a blog that anyone can read… and it’s tagged SEX.

  3. I’m sure all kinds of Freudian deductions can be drawn from you being all masculine and taming giant hair covered beasts with a non-lethal wepon. Don’t get me started on your ‘twisted’ theme park as a setting.

    I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

    That will be £60 of the consultation.

  4. I have no doubt that anyone with a shred of psychology training will be able to rip this apart and have a look at my inner mental workings.

    £60 you say? Do you accept salted peanuts or candy floss as part-payment? How about a bizzario mixtape of warped barrel organ music?

  5. I’ll settle for a free pass to your theme park thanks.

    It sounds brilliant, like a massive ghost train.
