Speaking of flying squirrels, there is a place in Seattle that sells incredibly weird stuff. It's Archie McPhee.

You can get their catalog and buy toys that fling objects through the air (not real ones, duh), like the cat-a-pult, chicken chucker, boss toss, chuck-a-duck, cattle pult and my personal favorite, the nun chuck. I also have the lunch lady action figure and the yodeling pickle.
Sorry for the plug, but these guys are worth it. I've been buying stuff from them since 1979.
