There are about 2 million rats in New York City, and some have settled in Central Park and Riverside Park.

In Spain, they have the running of the Bulls.
In NYC, it’s the running of the rats.
Brings the tourists in like crazy.

“Welcome to the 107th Westminster Cage Club’s Rat Show.
This year, we have several new breeds. There is the Stroller-Jumping Rat and my favorite, the Bill DiBlassio Bluetail. You won’t find it in the Working Rat class.”

You need some kind of award for always interjecting the perfect song lyrics on so many threads.
I caught one yesterday I meant to applaud you for, I just can’t remember which thread it was on.

Florida has a surplus of pythons. Trouble is, if they were taken to New York, they’d want to go back to Florida for the winter.

Offer a bounty - $25 per rat
ONLY for adult rats above a certain size (otherwise morons would start breeding them)
And only for one month (or the moron would start breeding them)

That’s why we give them gloves.
Then they’ll stay in NYC over the winter ice skating and having snowball fights.
See, it’s this kind of out-of-the-box thinking that would make me a great Mayor of NYC.

Don’t the rats know they are supposed to stay in bad neighborhoods, such as Bedford-Stuyvesant??
This is making news because the rats are going into a better neighborhood.
To: AppyPappy
Some of those rats are as big as a cat. Bring in the coyotes. :-)

"It seemed impossible that hed chosen to live here [New York City],
at a latitude where spring was a semantic variation on winter, in a
grid whose rigid geometry only a Greek or a builder of prisons could love,
in a city that made its own gravy when it rained.
