Hey, kids! Remember the '90s? You know, back when everyone wore boots and flannel all the time; mobile phones and home computers were not yet ubiquitous; and the powers that be tried to revitalize the sagging Japanese Beetle! franchise (and grab precious merchandising dollars) by reframing it as the eternal struggle of jocks vs. geeks in a suburban high school, far from its epic WWII origins?
...no? Well, you're just too young to remember. It totally happened that way.
Anyway, in swaggers eighteen-year-old Squirrel, in jeans and his Skyline High Rockets letter jacket (apparently if you're big enough and fast enough, a five-foot-long squirrel tail isn't too much of a liability on the football field; who knew?) and with a real Cheshire grin. It felt good to stuff Beetle in a locker today, better than usual even, and he figures he deserves a treat for it.
Up to the bar he goes, for some deep-dish eggplant parmesan pizza and a double-chocolate malt. Highly botherable.
