So on my last post I was celebrating the fact that I’m practically the 3,500th best blogger in the world and I got a comment from A Free Man who said:
”Can I just say, largely because I’m a pedant, that you misspelled ‘sophomoric’ and I really expect more from the 3,500th best blogger in the world.”
So I asked my coworker (Tracy) how to spell “sophmoric” and he totally spelled it the same way I do and I was all “This child molester thinks it has another ‘o’ in it” and Tracy was all “Child molester?” and I was like “Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what ‘pedant’ means.” But then I pulled up the dictionary and it turns out I’d confused “pedant” with ”pederast” and also that I’ve been spelling sophomoric wrong my entire fucking life. Then Tracy was like, “Back up, did that just say ‘spermobile’?” and I was totally not falling for it but he insisted that it said “spermobile” on the dictionary’s list of similar words. So then I clicked back and it turns out that it didn’t say “spermobile” because that word doesn’t actually exist (although if it did it’d probably look like the Oscar Meyer Wiener truck) and that the word he’d actually seen was ”spermophile“, which was kind of even more unsettling.
Apparently it literally means “sperma lover”, which was mystifying enough by itself but apparently Webster’s thought, “Oh we can make this even more fucked up” because right underneath it they wrote: “GROUND SQUIRREL”. Which, first of all…what the fuck? And secondly…why is it in caps?
I mean, technically the word ”sperm” is interchangeable with ”seed” and I guess squirrels like seeds but it doesn’t change the fact that this is both fucked up and also pretty much the best word ever invented because now if I have to call someone a filthy whore I can just be like “You are a humungous ground squirrel!” and they’d probably be too baffled to knife me. Unless they went home and looked up the definition for ”ground squirrel“. Then I’m totally fucked.
Comment of the day: I totally knew how to spell sophomoric, but I didn’t know that it’s been ground squirrels making me sleep in that wet spot at night. ~Twenty Four at Heart

Just when I was ready to write this off as officially the worst pi star ampersand day EVER, you totally bring your Bloggessy goodness and salvage the whole damn thing. Bonus? I’m so ragging KD @ A Bit Squirrelly about her sperm-loving ways from now on.
WaltzInExile’s last blog post..Indoctrination
I like sperm. Just throwing that out there.
Mr Lady’s last blog post..I Would Totally Buy a Q*Bert Costume
I knew a guy in high school who had a spermoblie, and he was always acting sophormoric. Come to think of it, he was always grabbing his nuts. I think ground squirrel would apply to him as well.
lololololol. I am laughing my (considerable) derriere off here.
Which, come to think of it, might be the answer to my chocolate problem, but would give me considerable wardrobe problems, not to mention that the rest of my family is asleep. It is a school night, you know.
Anyway, where do you come up with this stuff?
I will never be able to watch the squirrels in my yard the same way again.
And can you imagine if I’m running them off from the bird feeder, and I yell, “Go away, you spermophiles!”, and my daughter repeats that at school, what kind of trouble I will be in?
kristin’s last blog post..Just Do It!
You make me laugh my freaking head off … this blog post beats the heck out of all the prop 8 junk I’ve been bashing around in my head … spermophile … the smile lingers.
mrs b roth’s last blog post..Can You Say “Suck-Up?”
I can’t believe blogher won’t run their ads on my vagina site but you can go all spermophilia and they hang with you. Even though you’re the 3500th best blogger on planet earth, it’s still total bullshit. I’m getting pissed just typing about it. I’m totally smashing these letters. I’m so pissed!
!!!
Black Hockey Jesus’s last blog post..Dragon
Maybe talking about vaginas is over the line, BHJ? I’m just talking about seeds. Seeds are totally okay.
Here in the country people call chipmunks ground squirrels. I have no idea why and when I was I kid I thought a ground squirrel was some exotic animal. (then one day a chipmunk ran by and someone said “hey – a ground squirrel!”)
I can’t top this post or the comments. They’re all freakin’ hilarious.

We have a rampant squirrel population in my neighborhood. This explains a lot. Thanks, Bloggess!
Cara’s last blog post..A Letter
I’m totally going to use Spermophile the next time I want to call someone a really bad word, and then when they get offended I can say, “Haha, you uneducated loser, I just called you a ground squirrel, what are you all up in arms about?!”
Spermophile would also be a great name for a band.
Kat’s last blog post..I Drive My Kid Crazy
Well, it seems that your spelling is flawless today. There may be an issue with “coworker” versus “co-worker”, but let’s let that slide. In celebration, I would like to quote a movie that I believe you to be a fan of as well:
The Dude: Fuckin’ Quintana… that creep can roll, man.
Walter Sobchak: Yeah, but he’s a pervert, Dude.
The Dude: Yeah.
Walter Sobchak: No, he’s a sex offender. With a record. He served 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight year old.
The Dude: Oh!
Walter Sobchak: When he moved to Hollywood he had to go door to door to tell everyone he was a pederast.
Donny: What’s a… pederast, Walter?
Walter Sobchak: Shut the fuck up, Donny.

always buddy’s last blog post..tuesday on my mind
I love pedants and their ilk.
Really, when you think about it, its just another way of saying “knit-picker”, isn’t it?
pedant
Main Entry:
Pronunciation:
\?pe-d?nt\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Middle French, from Italian pedante
Date:
1588
1.obsolete : a male schoolteacher
2.a: one who makes a show of knowledge
b: one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge
c: a formalist or precisionist in teaching
And, don’t feel too bad about “sophomoric.” You probably didn’t get wind of that word until 10th grade, which would be more like, what?, half your fucking life ago. Right?
And, no one will ever be able to call you a pedant because, even though you are knit-picky–using the dictionary and all–you are so fucking imaginative that you are the anti-pendant, in my humble opinion, that is.
Needless to say, all of this is just an excuse to share the cyberspace that you occupy, the cyberair that you breathe, the cyberground you walk on.
I love you, Jenny.
You ARE The Bloggess!

i can’t stop reading it. or laughing. and my boy is sitting across the table from me wanting to know what is so freakin’ hilarious but i don’t think i want to have that talk with him so i’m just pretending like i don’t hear him. oh and then i forwarded you to my sister b/c she spent awhile working with squirrels (wildlife rescue) & i figured she might want to know what she was exposed to for so long.
i think i’m gonna go read it again.
Brandi’s last blog post..white rabbit
Ground squirrel makes a hell of a meatloaf.
Not that I grew up in the country or anything.
There should totally be a spermobile. It could drive around and collect the specimens of men who are too self-conscious to go into the sperm bank but really need to get their counts checked and stuff. It might stand out too much if it looked like the Oscar Meyer Wiener truck, though. Maybe if it was camouflaged. You know, wrapped in brown paper or something. Yeah.

Well, if people can stick hamsters up their butt then it’s only fair that we return the favor in some way. If some of you men out there or “spermobiles-transporters of sperm” as I like to call them, need to satisfy some horny squirrels then you better get to hoppin. Like a rabbit. Why do they call it a rabbit? Cause of the ears?

Lesley’s last blog post..Actually, My Life IS Scary Enough That I Probably Should Be Peeing On Myself Way More Often Than I Already Am
As a lurking pedantophile, I must point out that a ground squirrel is a groundhog, aka woodchuck, aka gopher, giant cousin to the tree squirrel of the busy tailness.
And you do NOT EVER fuck with a groundhog. If you gopher a gopher, a gopher will gopher you.
heh, *bushy* tailness
I wonder if ground squirrel tastes better than squirrel steaks (which are rare).
Really, though, would “nut lover” be much less crude in the

So Sam says ground squirrels are actually groundhogs/gophers/whateverthe fuck. A friend once told me that jizz is high in calories. Ground squirrels and their ilk are such fat waddling things, and I think we now know why. Saucy little beggers.
Kudos to you for unearthing this connection. I would also like to add that groundhogs can also be called “whistlepigs”, a term which never fails to crack my shit up.
MsPrufrock’s last blog post..Freeze frame
Who was the latin idiot that named a squirrel type with sperm in it? I’m just cringing from the grossophoric images in my head.
And you know what? I hate people who correct my spelling. Blow me! It’s my blog.
M@’s last blog post..Happy Birthday Peanut
The commenter should have known better than to use a word that starts with “ped” because all of those words are synonyms for pedophile. All of them.

I will honestly never look at a squirrel the same way again. Men everywhere should thank god that the Greeks didn’t view squirrels as nut lovers.
Daddy Joe’s last blog post..So THAT is what publish does?
you had me at “Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what ‘pedant’ means.”
wanna make out?
ali’s last blog post..out of the mouths of the fruit of my loins.
I wonder if that’s actually what’s in their bulging cheeks? It’s not nuts, but rather, what comes from nuts. And that would be sperm. And if we’re talking about critters with cheeks bulging with sperm, I wonder if chipmunks fall in that category too. And certain types of goldfish. And occasionally my neighbor. I will never look at nature the same way.
And are you sure they’re talking about ground squirrel, as in squirrels from the ground? What if they mean ground squirrel. Like the kind you make squirrel patties out of and eat with a bun?
Excuse me, I feel like I need to go wash my hands now.
I’m not so sure about squirrels, but I know my cat used to go after my used condoms like they were halloween candy. Grossed my wife and I out enough to buy a trash can with a closing lid (which he still managed to pry open to get at his spermsicles).
MPS’s last blog post..The Semantics of Poo
Like pedometer. And pediatric. And peddle. And pediculate.
I’ll shut up now.
But I’m so happy to know that about the squirrels.
I think it’s creepy when people refer to sperm as seed. Makes Children of the Corn seem more likely than I care to imagine. Consequently, I also don’t want to think about sperm the next time I order peanuts at an Astros game.
Finally, as a gay man, I think you should be quite proud that I didn’t go after ALL of the wonderful opportunities that could have been had with nuts, sperm and squirrels.
Urban Houstonian’s last blog post..Where Do We Go From Here
Black Hockey Jesus was in my dreams last night and I realized where he got his name from. You see, I always thought it was JEEZ US but it turns out he’s half black/ half Mexican and its HEY ZEUS. He plays in an all black hockey league and the boys gave him the HEY ZEUS handle.
In my dream he was actually the gay comic book militant from Chasing Amy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhGv79va21c and he was on his way to a comic book convention to spread the truth about Star Wars racist ways. He was very angry but had a fresh Soy Mocha Latte from Starbucks in his hand so he couldn’t have been THAT focused, if you ask me
I know this has nothing to do with sperm or vaginas but I just had to get it out of my system

Mr Lady says:
“I like sperm. Just throwing that out there.”
I’m pretty sure there are laws about throwing sperm around in public. Just a heads-up. (Ha! Get it? Heads? Sperm? Ha…never mind.)
Bridget – great observations, especially about the “certain types of goldfish.” Those must be the ones that are related to sperm whales.
Speaking of sperm whales, wouldn’t it be easier to just call someone that instead of “you’re such a big fat ground squirrel?” Just a thought, since I’ve made the connection and all.
Thanks for such a hysterical blog – and for having such cool readers that leave such thought-provoking (and obscene! yay!) comments.

Maybe you shouldn’t advertise the meaning of ground squirrel, then, so you’re safe from potential knifers?
Also, I listened to you on the radio show last night and it was really fun. You have such a cute/nice voice. I’m looking forward to your spray painting a wall blog.
Squirrels like NUTS, too, so maybe….? Hmmm…. You’ve given us a lot to think about!
This may be the funniest post I’ve ever read. And comments, too. But, ummm, not to be pedantic… I think you maybe misspelled “humongous.” {cringes and ducks}

Goldfish’s last blog post..It’s the Really Ugly Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
So now I’m trying to decide if, in certain situations, I might take “ground squirrel” as a compliment. Maybe from my husband. It does sound a little better than “hamster,” which I would also assume to be a spermophile.
I spelled “village” wrong for years… till I lived in an apartment complex called Bayhead Village,” and realized that all my rent checks were written to Bayhead Villiage. They still cashed ‘em. Damn ground squirrels.

Oh my God! I can’t believe that I have had a sister all these years and not known it!!! Apparently my brother, The Sasquatch, had a twin sister ripped away from us at birth (and apparently raised by lunatics). All those years being called the Elephant Woman could have been cut short had we only known. But I told him he can’t disown me as his sister because I would tell on him, so I think you are safe in your “family”. No need to let them know that you know you aren’t really their biological child.

AH, thank you for the comment on my site. You are amazing. I love you — is that too open a confession of love? After all, we only know each other over the Internet — but then again, half the couples getting married these days only know each other from the Internet.
Implications of that last sentence are NOT:
-that I actually checked that fact about half of the couples getting married. I USED MY IMAGINATION
NOR
-am asking you to marry me since we know each other over the internet. I mean, if you’re interested, SURE, but I’m pretty sure you’re already married and I’m soon-to-be-engaged to Michael Phelps as soon as we meet (in real life or over the Internet, I’m not particular), so I guess we’re both a little tied down right now, yes? Let’s make a deal, if we’re both 47 and single, we’ll get married over the internet, okay?
I got carried away with my awe-struck-ness. Hopefully you think I’m sufficiently crazy now, but I’m not really worried about it, considering you once wanted to send your own blood wrapped in pot to someone to prove your friendship. I think I’m safely on the non-dangerously-crazy side…
That was so hilarious! I had to sit here holding in my laughter.
I’m totally going to start calling people I can’t stand ground squirrels from now on. Starting immediately.

Sperm are hawt.
Squirrels not so much. Especially the freaky ones I have in the big city where I live that are all polluted and radioactive and look all mangy and diseased and fubar. *shudder*

Dude, we totally get spemophiles in our house in the winter…little ones, but still. I’ve been trying to lure them out with peanut butter, but now I see I am probably using the wrong type of “substance” that comes from nuts. Noted!

Can I just say, Spermophile is my new favorite word!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Not only did you crack me up, but so did your commentors! (ers?)
It’s true. If you want to capture squirrels, you need a little pot full of sperm as a lure and a net rigged up behind it.
True.

Now I’m afraid of going outside and seeing a ground squirrel, and getting aroused.

Squirrels? I thought it was beavers.
I thought you were kidding…I can’t believe this isn’t in the land of make believe.
Robin ~ PENSIEVE’s last blog post..Be generous
I followed a link from Gingla and I’m so glad I did….very funny stuff. Totally twisted…but that’s what I like! I’m really afraid I’m gonna be addicted…and I do not under any circumstances have time to read another blog…I sure hope you’re happy now that you’ve screwed up my life!
nikki’s last blog post..WHY DON’T THEY MAKE THAT????
Ha ha! I totally peed my pants a little bit when I read about the bullet-shooting samurai swords. Peed like a girl.
goodfather’s last blog post..No revisions
So now I know what happened to the fifth dentist in that Trident commercial. The squirrel wasn’t just confused about nuts.

Jenny, it is posts like this one that remind me of how funny a blogger can be. I absolutely love it.

Oops. I guess the strikeout tag doesn’t work. ;p
Those freaking sperm lovin’squirrels!! seem to have confused the small gap in our roof for Heff’s place! I can’t sleep at night from all the squrirrel bootay calls!
Lara’s last blog post..Stuff It! (first annual contest)
i thought spermophiles was an ancient greek philosopher who was vehemently opposed to the concept of platonic relationships.
Again with the laughing oddly and not-so-silently in a Professional Environment, but this time I made a weird snarfing sound when a Mexican family walked by me so probably they think I’m sort of racist.
Thanks a lot.

I have a high school biology teacher who used to run through the student parking lot in spring yelling, “There’s sperm on your car, there’s sperm on your car!” in regards to the pollen. I’m honestly not sure how he never got fired considering his complicity in the chem lab blow up that year… (probably because he was awesome)
