Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel is the best thing you missed this weekend

I regret a few things from the weekend, but nothing more than missing Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel at the Kansas City Boat and Sportshow. Really, it doesn’t get much better than watching the life-jacket-wearing squirrel motoring around a wading pool behind a remote-controlled boat. (I’m not above getting all yokel here, “Heh, that squirrel is water-skiing!”)

Lucky for those of us who missed it, there are plenty of YouTube videos (embedding has been disabled for the only one from KC). As Jon Stewart would say, here’s your moment of zen (after the jump).
