I don’t get it.
How come he wasn’t arrested for cruelty to animals?
I cannot tell you how many times I have uttered those very words.
Don’t know when I’ve seen so much hare come out in one comb.
And to think that I was hoping that someone finally got Pelosi.
I saw one of those in The Prinncess Bride.
Those are the same species now being used for mine-sniffing.

That ‘pouched’ rat looks like an oppossum to me.
About 5 years ago,I was working on a building rehab job a few blocks from the WTC. The building was mid 1800s and plans were long gone. We found a sub-sub-basement that the owner did not even know existed. It was a half-height door leading to a rickety metal stair behind piles of junk in the sub-basement. Not opened for at least 50 years.
I will remember that smell forever. When I shined a light in,the floor looked like it was moving frantically. It was wall-to-wall rats as far as you could see,their eyes reflecting off the light. Many were bigger than cats and made low-frequency growling noises.
An exterminator was called and said we were lucky to be alive opening such a door full of cornered rats. A few more minutes and they would have turned us into food.
The NYC rats are very elusive and will almost never appear within sight of humans. If you’re on one of the few dead-quiet blocks and quietly look out your window in the middle of the night,you’ll see swarms of huge rats foraging. They scatter at the slightest noise. There are many,many underground passages and chambers around NYC for them to hide.
Looks like a Obama supporter that will not make 2012.
Catch of the Day
I swerved to avoid what I thought was a cat in the road. Afterward I realized that it was a huge rat. I did a U-turn in my 67 Ford Galaxie 500 and tried to hit it on another next pass, but it jumped out of the way at the last minute. I made a couple of more attempts before the rat took a right turn and ran up the gated road that goes to Cheney Stadium. I got out of the car as the rat trotted under the gate. My girl friend at the time got out also. I started throwing rocks at it. When I hit him with one, he turned around and charged us. My girlfriend and I had to take a few steps back, but I managed to hit him with another rock and the rat decided he'd had enough and ran up the hill toward Foss High School and took refuge in some bushes. He was a worthy adversary; I felt a little bad about harassing him.
anybody remember Does your child know the difference between a cat... and a rat???Hope you don’t mind, had to ping you with this one.
You’ve got me studying headlines now.
This is one we won’t see, comma or not, in the NYT.
Cheers,
