  • failsafex, on 12/26/2008, -4/+89Is it just me or does Bill Oddie look like a major creeper?
  • WhoDoneIt, on 12/26/2008, -5/+63***** you. I wouldn't have clicked on this story if you hadn't said with a pic. I'll remember your user name for next time, dick.
  • zardoz73, on 12/26/2008, -3/+47If by "w/pic" you mean "without pic", then yes, it's w/pic.
  • jkash23686, on 12/26/2008, -2/+45someone needs to go in and adjust the levels on that squirrel.
  • ElGubrush, on 12/26/2008, -0/+41Your comment link should have been the entire story. THE TITLE LIED. You delivered.
  • x00x, on 12/26/2008, -0/+35I dugg you up because I sympathize. Four seconds wasted looking for a purple squirrel leaves four seconds less looking for a pink beaver.
  • idavidtang, on 12/26/2008, -2/+26Must have escaped from the chocolate factory.

  • Zarokima, on 12/26/2008, -0/+21What the hell about this story were you expecting to spark penis jokes?
  • inactive, on 12/26/2008, -1/+21God is a strapping white male with a manly 30 ft beard and exquisite pecs. But I admire how you tried to slip that in while remaining so blasé about it.
  • cyrix, on 12/26/2008, -0/+19Yeah, what gives? They pulled the old bait and switch on us.
  • carbonfilament, on 12/26/2008, -1/+19I'm reminded of a three course chewing gum...
  • JDoorjam, on 12/26/2008, -0/+17"What? Oh, I'm peering into the dorm windows... looking for a... purple squirrel. Yes, that's it."

  • adrenalmedulla9, on 12/26/2008, -1/+14Oh come on! All of you are making seizurefriendly's joke VERY unfunny! Just stop while you're ahead! Let me have my precious LOLs without the lameass replies!

    ...

    THANK you!
  • ansatsu29, on 12/26/2008, -1/+12'The old building where we have seen him nipping in and out is a bit of a graveyard for computer printers. He may have found some printer toners in there.

    Ok, Pete, dont mess with the magenta toners again. :D
  • HookmasterCH47, on 12/26/2008, -0/+11Dugg for the rapist in the woods.
  • KingGorilla, on 12/26/2008, -0/+9Squirrel you're turning Violet!
  • hellbent187, on 12/26/2008, -7/+16Boo, no picture!
  • FullMetalNIN, on 12/26/2008, -3/+12Ricky: Holy *****, purple squirrels!
  • anagoge, on 12/26/2008, -1/+9Holy crap that squirrel looks like Bill Oddie!
  • Paulish, on 12/26/2008, -4/+12Lol. I like how Bill Oddie is peeking out as if HE is a squirrel.
  • valis, on 12/26/2008, -1/+9No they don't. They want to understand the world - not ordain it.
  • soccerman90, on 12/26/2008, -2/+10i got a purple squirrel... in my pants XD... wait, what?
  • steviesteveo, on 12/26/2008, -4/+11There's a copy on BoingBoing.net, they picked this up a little while ago.

    They theorise that the colouring is from printer / copier toner which, if true, is a bit of a tragedy because it's not supposed to go onto / be eaten by small animals in quantities enough to turn the animal purple and the poor thing might actually be poisoned.
  • VegaObscura3, on 12/26/2008, -1/+8Don't go drinking with this squirrel. He tends to get violet when he gets drunk.
  • MedicalMatt, on 12/26/2008, -1/+8had a little too much grapedrink
  • inactive, on 12/26/2008, -1/+8That sounds like a good college prank; capture one squirrel, dye it purple, and let it loose.
  • Valyn, on 12/26/2008, -2/+8buried as inaccurate, no pic. Especially when there was another article, that actually has a pic, that could have been linked too.
  • Slackdragon, on 12/26/2008, -1/+7The purple squirrel hangs out with a green one and they grant all my childish wishes.
  • StageMgr2Stars, on 12/26/2008, -1/+7Violet.... you're turning violet, Violet!
  • mushoo, on 12/26/2008, -2/+7That squirrel has nothing on UNT's albino squirrel.
    Legend has it that if you spot it on your way to an exam you'll get high marks.

  • inactive, on 12/26/2008, -0/+5Is that what they call it these days? "Purple Squirrel"?
  • matthughes, on 12/26/2008, -0/+5i believe the flavor is called "purple." not grape.
  • yayster, on 12/26/2008, -1/+6***** you! Two of my friends died trying to look for a photo of the purple squirrel!
  • IvanB, on 12/26/2008, -2/+7The Internet, it's serious business.
  • Jerky1312, on 12/26/2008, -2/+7Ever seen a purple bear...

  • tgc1, on 12/26/2008, -6/+10That Squirrel is just a ***** rebel. He isn't going to take any ***** from the establishment. What's next, are the Squirrels going to style their hair in Mohawks?
  • JRW5061, on 12/26/2008, -0/+4Buried?
  • feliks2, on 12/26/2008, -1/+4Oh *****, i am so retarted. My appologies.
  • noxcovenant, on 12/26/2008, -0/+3I buried the main topic, and dugg this comment up. That's how passive-aggressive I am.
  • slicedoranges, on 12/26/2008, -3/+6You remind me of my grandma who sends me religious emails and stuff she thinks is hilarious, but is actually stupid.
