Hey, rodents getting into your personal things is totally different than rodents running around public spaces. I lived in a farmhouse growing up that had mice from time to time, and I remember how much it bothered me to hear them munching on old schoolpapers in my closet at night.
Fat little rat asses are pretty hilarious, I’ll agree, but you wouldn’t believe how easy it was for that thing to wedge himself under the door! The human skeleton should really be more flexible. It’d really save teenage movie heroines when trying to escape from kidnappers through tiny bathroom windows and such.
When I was a Small Fry and had hamsters, I bought a book on how to care for them, and the book said that rodents can fit anywhere their skulls can fit.
Given how small rat skulls (and, correspondingly, rat brains) are, that’s pretty amazing when you stop and think about it.

I'm Katie, a farmgirl originally from Ohio who moved to NYC in 2005 for no apparent reason. I like vintage-looking things that are actually new, filagree everything, people who don't make me feel awkward, meaning it when I say "no sleep till Brooklyn", and not trying too hard.

Wow, you must be really quick on the draw with the camera.
1) Yes.
2) Truthfully, it had been running around the platform for two minutes at that point, ducking in and out of the drainholes that line the wall.
That would freak me out, man! We have mice in our house, and I HATE the things.
I agree w/bluz – talk about fast!
Yes, I’m *finally* back online. Yay!

Welcome back!
For some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, this has made me laugh every time I’ve looked at it for the past two days.
Something about “RAT ATTACK!” and the rat trying to get his fat little ass out of Dodge as quickly as possible strikes me as hysterically funny…
…and I think that says something unflattering about the sophistication of my sense of humor.
