You might think<\/span> I rely too much on my friend Shuey<\/a> to give me ideas for blog posts. You are probably right. But he doesn’t have a blog of his own — he should! — so he psuedo-blogs by living vicariously through me. Also through Donny Most<\/a>. But mainly through me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, today he alerted me (via BuzzFeed<\/a>) to this Flickr series by Chris McVeigh<\/a>. I cannot describe my fascination with this photo set. Apparently McVeigh likes to:<\/p>\n

1) befriend chipmunks<\/p>\n

only to <\/span><\/p>\n

2) pose them with Star Wars figures<\/p>\n

and <\/span><\/p>\n

3) take pictures of them<\/p>\n

I personally think this is a brilliant use of both chipmunks and classic space toys. I wish I had thought of it. I will likely spend the rest of the day trying to think of something similar, yet equally creative. Lizards and Legos? Cockroaches and Littlest Pet Shop bobbleheads? The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
