Divulgeblog: Chivalry is NOT dead, my friends

Chivalry is NOT dead, my friends

Isn't this polite? Smoothface guapo took this photo some time ago. Apparently someone saw and perhaps even stepped on the dead rat here (looks more like a mouse, but whatever) and decided to warn others. I applaud this behavior. Don't you? I mean, it is kind of hard to see. And what if you were wearing stilettos or something? Yuck.

Restoring your faith in humanity one dead rat at a time,
Anita

I am so glad to see you blogging again that words cannot even begin to describe it.

I just moved into a new condo and we live right up next to a field. Apparently, in the field...there was a rat problem to "they" posioned them. Well, my roommate was smoking a cig one afternoon and I decided to go outside with her and low and behold....there is a dead rat in our garden.

I imagine watching the two of us trying to throw the rat over the fence was nothing short of hysterical. There was lots of girly screaming...good times.

Man could we exchange bc woes. A Simpsons episode made me well up the other day. No joke.

But anyhow, wouldn't you liked to have been warned? It's always disconcerting to see a dead rat, no? But even gals like us can turn a dead rat into an adventure! We rock.

Shroom, I wish I could say I went on a cool self-finding journey where I ate peyote and stared at grains of sand or something, but alas.

A coupla years ago, I was in NYC on a business trip in August. Open toed shoes, no hosiery. As my colleague and I stepped down from the sidewalk to cross the street, we nearly stepped on a dead rat that was FLATTENED to a crepe-like depth. I was wearing heels. Can you imagine sinking your pointy heel into a rat pancake?

"It's always disconcerting to see a dead rat, no? "
It's infinitely preferable to seeing a live one.
Like the old joke.
What's worse than finding a cockroach in your laksa ??
Finding half a cockroach.
Welcome back, Anita...

When I'm wearing stilettos I make it a point to walk down steets full of pot holes and dead rats. Call it a fetish.

Toby: there are some things about you that you should consider keeping to your self.

Rats are animals too.

You can run, but you can't hide. My beard will seek you out.

Can Anita come out and play?

Posted by Toby | 7:31 PM

~d you KNOW smoothface guapo saw it. He gots to look out for dem WHITE SNEEEEKAAAAS! =)

L, that is indeed nuh-haaas-tee. See, your story combined with my photo creates a perfect demonstration of how us Southerners are more polite than Northerners. Did I mention the south will rise again?
***********

tits, I miss having the time to liesurely peruse your blog every morning. I have no idea what's going on in the world anymore. I'm working hard on getting prepared to move (to Spain, still) by May/June.
***********

jane, that's nasty. Well, maybe not. If it had a nice breading I'd give it a shot.
***********

mainmama just don't. You know it's allergy season and the GA ragweed has already dried out your eyes. It'd be in your best interest not to goad on the hayfever.
***********

fingers, thanks for fostering the thought of taking a big, juicy bite of dead rat. Lord.
***********

toby, if it's good enough for the hookers on 5th, I've no doubt it's good enough for the rest of us.
***********

~d, come now. This is a montissory blog! Strange comments and are encouraged!
***********

egan, OMIGOD! Rats are ANIMALS? I am going to take this post down IMMEDIATELY and replace it with one about a dead rock!
***********

world champ stephen neal, why do you think I'm back? Your beard nabbed me and put me on the great space coaster. Who says nobody hears you scream in space?
**********

toby, why is teaching so fucking time consuming?

I see this post is still up. Have some backbone Enita.

Posted by Egan | 3:42 AM

I can't Egan. I'm a rat.

Posted by Anita | 11:05 AM

Rats are smart though.
