SPY Magazine Features N.E.G.S.S. Agent!

Recently SPY Magazine interviewed a secret agent from the N.E.G.S.S. (National Eastern Grey Squirrel Society)for an in depth cover story. The article will be published in the upcoming issue (pictured above).

The following are exerpts from this exciting interview.

I met Agent Treehopper in a dark alley on a Friday night at dusk... Well, that's how it would have been if this were a movie. Instead I met Agent Treehopper at a Starbucks on the corner of 5th and Main on a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon.

"There's really no sense in trying to disguise my identity. Us Squirrels look a lot alike. Anyone would be hard pressed to make a positve ID on any of us!" he chuckles over his triple hazelnut latte. "It makes the job less stressful that way."

Agent Treehopper has been with the N.E.G.S.S. for about 10 years now. He has seen everything from missions gone wrong (Operation: Bambi) to successful missions like the 1997 "Operation White Wedding" in Oregon.

"I have seen a lot and I learn more each time we prepare. This latest mission, 'Operation Golden Rod' has been really intense. We have new equipment to train on as well as our regular reconnaisance preparation. I have to say that working with the Agency is always a pleasure though. They are good people trying to do good in this world. This PieHole thing is crazy but we are doing our part to help out. Our motto for this mission is 'Nuts for the Nutty'!!! You know, fighting fire with fire!"

cclifeorsomethinglikeit has aquired a few of the TOP SECRET pics revealed in the issue:

"We like to have some fun too you know. I remember this time we were at an Agency picnic at Finks Basin and these Red Squirrels were trying to start something with us. My buddy Buster just let them have it. After that we busted his chops about it for weeks and somehow this picture of him during the altercation kept being posted all over our home base! What a riot!"




SPY Magazine also found out that the N.E.G.S.S. plays as hard as it works. Here Agent Treehopper is seen performing with his Jazz ensemble and a very special guest on trumpet. When asked about his hobby he smiles. "I just love Jazz? My Alto was specially make for me and that black nichol plating really makes my sound as smooth as silk!"



SPY Magazine always likes to ask our guests at the end of the interview what famous SPY they idolize, real or fictional. Agent Treehopper said he really thinks James Bond is cool. "He's got all these gadgets, and the chicks! Man, I wish being a secret agent was that easy!"
