Just keep a pet cat and the rat will be killed in a few days.

I have just been reading through your blog and LOVE it. I have a pet rat, who rocks, but I guess that is not the same thing at all. Cougar Woman’s last blog post..How to Tell If You Are a Cougar Woman

Wow, watch out for those rats! I’m glad you lived with one so I don’t have to now, haha.

Oh. My. Gosh. That sounds terrible. And isn’t it ironic that sometimes the crappiest circumstances and events of our life often turn into the funniest memories? I’m glad your toes didn’t get eaten.

Regan: No, it probably won’t be that long. Maybe we should just make a video?

Well, ours will be better because it’ll be starring JD! And it won’t be that long probably….

Who actually makes movies about rats anyway?

Claudine: Those all sound like completely sensible options (especially running screaming back to the U.S.). You can be sure that nowadays, I would NOT put up with that sort of shenanigans! Regan: Right! At least ours is original (oops! See Jeff's comment!) RT: Now I would have LOVED to see that. Come to think of it, the guy who cornered (or who was almost cornered himself) the rat was a bit of a wimp. Canucklehead: Thanks! We're all winners here! Jeff: HA! Bonus tidbit to prove how lame I am: I actually rented Willard within the last year (the years have not been kind).

Correction… the first one was Willard and the sequel was Ben. This sequence of events is extremely important to the continuity of the viewing experience.

Regan – You wouldn’t know this because it was decades before you were even born, but they made 2 semi successful movies about rats. The first one was called Ben and the sequel was called Willard. You should rent them.

Bonus useless trivia… the theme song to Ben was sung by Michael Jackson.

Bonus useless fact that shows how old I really am… I had the 45 to Ben.

Bonus definition because you probably haven’t been to the Smithsonian… A 45 is a really small phonograph record.
