Ratatouille, perhaps?

Bugsy - I got your message, I’ll check in when I get some time. Maybe tomorrow.

I find sarcasm works well, but it is hard to get off in type.

Try the strawberry tart, it doesn’t have a lot of rat in it.

He might try placing those traps out of sight. That might work.

how much is not a lot of rat? no thanks, i’ll pass on the tart.

Is it just me? or is this the exact same place that the Polar Bear set it’s trap a few days ago? And… I think the “Au Naturel Deil” is just around the corner.

Great Wiley! just great!

Skinned dead rat has a very nasty smell (I’ve worked wth big cats and one was very insistant that their meat had no fur) and believe me, you would smell that before seeing the traps. This is coming from someone whose sense of smell is almost non-existant mind you.

From the Pickwick Papers: ‘Not they, sir,’ replied Mr. Weller, touching his hat. ‘I lodged in the same house vith a pieman once, sir, and a wery nice man he was–reg’lar clever chap, too–make pies out o’ anything, he could. “What a number o’ cats you keep, Mr. Brooks,” says I, when I’d got intimate with him. “Ah,” says he, “I do–a good many,” says he, “You must be wery fond o’ cats,” says I. “Other people is,” says he, a-winkin’ at me; “they ain’t in season till the winter though,” says he. “Not in season!” says I. “No,” says he, “fruits is in, cats is out.” “Why, what do you mean?” says I. “Mean!” says he. “That I’ll never be a party to the combination o’ the butchers, to keep up the price o’ meat,” says he. “Mr. Weller,” says he, a-squeezing my hand wery hard, and vispering in my ear–“don’t mention this here agin–but it’s the seasonin’ as does it. They’re all made o’ them noble animals,” says he, a-pointin’ to a wery nice little tabby kitten, “and I seasons ‘em for beefsteak, weal or kidney, ‘cording to the demand. And more than that,” says he, “I can make a weal a beef-steak, or a beef- steak a kidney, or any one on ‘em a mutton, at a minute’s notice, just as the market changes, and appetites wary!”’

it’s a very popular location. the bear was only there for the day swift. i mean, how many fools can keep showing up? excuse me, I work in the bar business, and that was a really dumb question. there’s one born every minute,and two more to carry him out. I will try the spiced cat pie, thou.

rat on a stick! get your rat on a stick! get ‘em while they’re hot!

Fresh Nutria meat appears to be a potential big industry for exporting meat to China. Seems that the Chinese indeed DO like rat meat, and South Louisiana has a LOT of Nutria!

Never had the curiosity to try it myself …

That is not good healthy!

Isn’t that Taco Guy’s (from La Cucaracha) corner?

nutria is one of those meats that tastes like chicken. rat on the other hand as more like squirrel. Then again with enough hot sauce, it’s all good.

This reminds me of World of Warcraft. There is a quest at the Deeprun Tram (subway) station to capture rats. Then you go to the other end of the line and the quest-giver’s brother sells rat-ka-bobs.

C.M.O.T. Dibbler made a fortune selling rat-on-a-stick or pig in a bun.

Ain’t happenin’ Chikuku. Vegetables are sides, unless your Drew Carey, then they’re nowhere to be found on the plate or in the refridgerator.

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner. Then there’s pork, lamb chicken etc.

“It’s just a rat… a filthy, slimey rat.”

But artybee, it’s a delicious rat just the same.

Hey, I want to go out right now and get some, don’t you?

Smokey: rat would be a step UP for Dibbler!

COULDN’T eat meat 2day after reading this and with the bonus of a trojan horse jumping in to play with my computor I got other basics taken care of…thanks rats..knew there was a purpose for ya! Sidenote:reminded me of a local eatery that got busted twice for serving felines as chicken..the 2nd time caught red-handed (pun intended) snagging local pets for their business…some will do ANYTHING for a financial boost nes’pas?

FWIW, In Chinese prisons the choice from column A is always rat. It supplements the meagre rice rations.

as attorney for the “united rats of america” (URA), I find this comic extremely offensive and in bad taste. i demand an immediate retraction and apology.

tv movie, “Out of the Cold”(?), they had rat on a stick…

EWWWW! that is so gross………I would freak out!
