Nonconformity
It is a distinctly human attribute, and an odd one at that, that we all want to belong, which requires a certain amount of conformity, but we also want to be individuals, which requires originality. So tell me, is this squirrel a conformist, or nonconformist?

Welcome back! I would say conformist, because he is obviously trying to fit in with the sort that hang out at the park after hours. Nevermind that they are not the same species that he is. (I love the little studs around his ankles.)
Maybe the ankle accessories are to conform with the mean dogs who wear similar collars.
I am with LL and she thinks that the critter is a poser and she think's he actually a mongoose. I think he's a wanna-be-noncomformist-comformist. You know. Like most members of the modern Democratic party (witty comment was LL).
LL would talk trash about the democratic party, being a communist and all.
LL said a shockingly Republican thing the other day. I can't remeber what it was... but, it shocked me.
What are you guys even talking about? You're outrageous. I don't think I've ever expressed communist ideological tendencies, and I most certainly did not say something Republican the other day. Take that back, AMS!
Oh, unless you're counting "If they can't speak our language they should just get out." But I was talking about pseudo intllectuals/ actual buttheads in the Cultural Studies/ Interest section of Barnes and Noble who had the audacity to snicker at the pleasingly authentic valley flavor of my speach. I'm like "Patois this!" because you know what? I am who I am and these shades of blonde colorings don't run.
All right, I'll take it back, because I can't remember what it was, and because I had an "aw LL" moment today when I was driving down I-15 at 85 mph listening to Save Ferris so loudly that my ears rang for about twenty minutes. LL. Sniff. Save Ferris. Rock and Roll!
