Wasn't really impressed by the rat but was spooked by this

"But Wesley? What about the R.O.U.S's?"

"Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist?"

Roooooooooaaaaaaarrr!

"You've got... THE BITE!"

Someone may have already posted this, but I think we may have achieved the longest comment thread in H&R history back here.

Mein Gott, am I tired.

The only longer one that I know of is the Thanksgiving open thread of 2005; it wasn't much longer.

Nope, I'm wrong - the Thanksgiving thread was only 1029 comments long.

Damn, Jake. I read for about 10 minutes and saw I wasn't a quarter of the way done. Given the general tone of the posts, I'll skip the rest.

Just a moment, this drink may be doped!

Dude, how about some pictures of the rat!

I always thought the rat was some cocaine-inspired delusion of Holmes. Who knew?

Since I already linked to a picture of the world's largest rodent on another thread today, I'll just say this. A capybara would kick that Giant Sumatran rat's ass.

All this reminds me of a NOVEL I WROTE CALLED "SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE GIANT RAT OF SUMATRA," WHICH YOU CAN PURCHASE ONLINE (and please ignore those mean, spiteful people who have no lives and write things like "god awful" about a book that someone worked really hard to write and didn't get paid hardly any money so please just buy the goddamn book).

If the links don't provide any photos, could you guys please say so in the post, so we don't waste time clicking through to see something that's not there?

That thread is up to 1174 posts now. Yeah, it's a record for H&R. You think YOU'RE tired? Hell, I just finished reading the whole thing. That guy, Billy Beck? And his multiple personas? Seriouly disturbed - that is to say: BATSHIT INSANE!

The only good part was watching Jennifer cut up his manhood and feed it back to him - well what there was of it anyway. Little Lazarus, indeed. ROFLMAO ;-)

Alan,

But, but, that's "a story for which the world is not yet prepared!" For the love of God, Montressor! For the love of God!
