Dang you guys are cold. I resented bring called by my last name only when I
went to a private school as a young man.

The guy's name is Rocket or Rocky. If you don't want to address him by his
first name, at least call him Mr. Squirrel or
fuzzy-tailed-plague-infested-rodent. But just to call him 'Squirrel' seems
rude. ;-)
