Segment City Episode 21 - The World Famous Gopher Hole Museum
Source:
Gophers are an interesting species. I read that the males come out of their holes a few weeks before the females in the Spring. This leads to a very literal survival of the fittest as the male gophers fight to not starve or become prey. That’s not really a funny tagline for this episode, but you just learned something new so there is that. This week, the boys talk about if your name affects your personality, Theo’s review of “I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Licking Good Dating Simulator”, Will talks about his recent trip to Calgary and Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, bear spray, the World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, the Royal Tyrrell Museum full of dinosaur bones, and pitching other service trucks besides food trucks (Brewery truck, Food Truck Truck, Barber Truck, Church Truck, Dentist Truck, DMV Truck)

Despite its small size, it's entertaining enough to detour from Highway 2 to Torrington. We really appreciated the museum's sense of humor (e.g. GAGS - Gophers Against Getting Stuffed).

Go Nuts for This Taxidermy Squirrel Art
Cindy Klippenstein has brought her art school and taxidermy experience into a very unusual art practice.
»Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos:
Yukon-based artist Cindy Klippenstein is the first to admit her sense of humour is...quirky. She first stumbled into the world of squirrel art by accident. Klippenstein was teaching herself how to taxidermy smaller animals when she accidentally cut off a squirrel leg. That's when she realized it would make a great pirate.
She knows her work isn't for everyone, but living somewhere that trapping and hunting are commonplace, it's been a hit. People in the Yukon have a good sense of humour and can relate to it, she says.
Aside from hosting several art shows in Whitehorse, she also runs an online store on Etsy called Fur and Loathing where people from around the world contact her to create custom squirrel designs. Two of her squirrels — a matching bride and groom squirrel — wound up adorning the top of a wedding cake last year.
Klippenstein's work often borrows from pop culture icons like Madonna, Slash and Star Wars. She never imagined the painting and sculpting skills she learned at the University of Manitoba would go towards working with squirrels — but it's a niche corner of the design world that's larger than one might think, she says. Those familiar with the world famous Gopher Hole Museum in Torrington, Alta. know that Klippenstein isn't the first to dress furry rodents up and put them in human-like settings.
All of Klippenstein's squirrels are donated to her from trappers who accidentally snag smaller game. And she's always delightfully surprised by people's reaction to the squirrels when she displays them in Whitehorse. It's not your typical art gallery opening, she says with a laugh.
