Not only that, he is a butcher. Meat is his calling.<\/p>\n<p>When my teenager was little and I got a full-time job, Michael took care of him every day. When anyone has hurt me, Michael has offered to kill them.&nbsp;\u00a0 Once, he married my best friend, but they were just being silly and now they know better.<\/p>\n<p>Michael came to visit over the weekend and he brought his beautiful girlfriend Shelly, who is studying engineering and drives a big motorcycle. She is a great girl. I didn&#8217;t realize the extent of her greatness until she sent me this picture of a dead squirrel she saw in the street near my house!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/shelly-with-the-dead-squirrel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3430\" title=\"shelly-with-the-dead-squirrel\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/shelly-with-the-dead-squirrel-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"shelly-with-the-dead-squirrel\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/shelly-with-the-dead-squirrel.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/shelly-with-the-dead-squirrel.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>May Shelly and Michael be together forever, and may all squirrels be dead ones!<\/p>\n<p><strong>*UPDATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Michael just got his own &#8220;ma haine dure&#8221; tattoo, as well as an International No symbol that should cover everything else.
