The Brazen Rats opened for Hot Tuna.

EWWWW. That is all.
Except why on earth would anyone live in NYC? Somebody explain this to me. I grew up not so far away (in CT) and went there maybe 3 times and I still don't think I've washed all the dirt off of me.
Now I'm in Florida (not retired, unfortunately) and I actually saw a rat run across my patio one night. Not at all the same thing as a rat on the subway. This rat would never have run up my pant leg because who the hell wears pants in Florida?
But again, EWWW. All the more reason to never go back to NYC.

I would be in the hospital recovering from a major heart attack if that happened to me. If I ever visit NYC I'm only going to travel in a nice, safe taxi.

Yes, there is nothing more calming and relaxing than a ride in a NYC taxi.

Perhaps if Mayor Bloomberg's proposed " No Rats Over 18 ozs " law passes...

And get rid of " Rats Ride Free " Day too. I mean... common.

That's how you send
horny"easy" signals to the rat. A native New Yorker told me.Posted by: funny man | June 09, 2012 at 02:01 PM
"It was burning me, but the doctors say it’s normal."
Only in New York would doctors have criteria to determine what constitutes "within normal limits" for the sensation of being scratched by a rat crawling up your pants leg.

How about "rat day?" You go to the ball game, you get a free rat.

Omni, that's every day. Oh wait, I meant on the subway.
ubetcha, that's the second uncalled-for obnoxious remark from you in the last week.
Three strikes and you're out.
nursecindy told me.

Now, now. I've been knitting and watching westerns all day. I'm trying to get a jump start on Christmas. Just in case I break my shoulder again this year.

Snork @ Mikey. I am reminded of "Pick A Little" from The Music Man - "She made brazen overtures!" (He left River City the library building, but he left all the books to her!)

New York isn't the only place with a rat problem.
Posted by: Ralph | June 09, 2012 at 07:19 PM
At least it wasn't a squirrel. Or a goat on her roof.

That dirty rat . . .

Maybe he thought her leg was a lady rat, People in NYC may have to counter this by keeping a live cat in their trousers
