Shady Gene has a new squirrel. January 31, 2008 ~ 5:00 pm
Posted by Julie in : In Da Hood, Urban Family , trackbackI have talked about my friend Eugene off and on here, mostly to describe why we call him Shady Gene - he disappears on trips for weeks at a time without telling us, and then comes back and says “Oh, I just got back from Geneva,” among other reasons. I mean, wtf? Who does that? Especially when they’re not independently wealthy? We think Gene has a sugarmama in Europe. Or he’s with the CIA. We’re not sure which.
Aaaanyway, several years back, he had a pet squirrel. And by pet, I mean, squirrel he trained to come into his house off the street. A New York City squirrel in his house. And in the course of time, Rocky disappeared and we all figured he’d gotten run down by a car or eaten some rat poison, or some other hideous fate that city squirrels can avoid for only so long.
Two weeks ago, Eugene emails me at work to tell me he has a new squirrel. Rocky II. And Rocky II has a girlfriend, and he brings the girlfriend to Gene’s window, but she won’t come in the apartment, only Rocky II, and…well, you see that this is another reason why we call him Shady Gene. I think he was one of those kids that just brought home every stray animal he found and he’s never outgrown it.
So without further ado, I present you with Rocky II (Eugene made these titles up, I had nothing to do with them. He’s twisted.)

I think it is CIA. Mys stepmother is the same way.”What exactly do you do Stepmom?” “I do consulting” who just happens to ‘consult’ in Turkey, Egypt, China, Russia. I think she’s going to Korea next month.
And then there’s the email I get from her - directed to someone else - asking that $$ be sent to person ABC, western unioned to some place in Nairobi, Kenya last fall.
She’s either the best joker I’ve ever seen - or CIA. My sibs and I vote CIA.
This dude is indeed twisted. I’m sorry but New York City squirrels are just big fuzzy rats. There’s no way I’d let one in my home.
