Friday Fun Link

This article's a few days old, but I really couldn't justify posting it until Frivolous Friday. Without further ado, meet M-Rod, the Rat Whacker.

Whoops! Had a link to a public radio interview for a few minutes there.... Hope no one suffered too much trauma.

The original link was interesting. A whole lot of handwringing over the purchase of ".50 caliber sniper rifles that could easily down a helicopter or an airplane".

That'd be some sniper.

Typical gun-idiot logic - if .50 caliber anti-aircraft machine guns can down aircraft - then a 5-shot sniper rifle can too.

Isn't this guy only creating food for the other (quicker) rats?

How do you make a rat running along the ground fly through the air?? Perhaps he uses more of a golf swing which means he's not M-Rod, but Chi Chi (Rodriguez.)

Call me snake -- You haven't watched enough of Vladimir Guerrero .... Anwyay, a cricket swing oughtta do the trick, and his bat looks crafted for that precise stroke.

Matt,
I'm aware of Guerrero's prolific talent, but you're correct that I have not seen enough of him, which is one reason why I purchased MLB Extra Innings package four days ago...I'm still giddy, on cloud nine...ten games a night!!!

Everyone: Get it if you don't have it...the days of relying on the idiots at baseball tonight (Gammons excepted) are over!!!!

John Miller has always bothered me. But all I really need is Skip, Pete, Joe and Don. A rat smack would have been a good Turner promotion, but probably not better than the ostrich race.

"t a time when the city is at war with rats, Rodriguez is an unsung soldier. Complaints soared 29%, to 19,358, during the 2003 fiscal year, prompting a crackdown by City Hall."

Maybe if someone told the Mayor the rats have been seen smoking in bars he might get more excited about rat control.

Next up; Greenpeace does NYC.
