#4 Well the problem is if those rats start showing up elsewhere. They could displace the standard rats and increase the possibility of rat born diseases like the black plague. I could see them enrolling in Harvard law. That's all we need more Islamic lawyers. I suppose they could start breeding larger cats or ferrets.

#6 So there I wuz, 15 years old in the Publix warehouse with nothing but a pellet rifle and a flashlight....... It was ever an uneven fight, 1 man 50 sets of beadie damn eyes looking at me with contempt. Suddenly a deux ex dawg appeared in the form of 3 rat terriers. Brutal, ugly. I can say no more.

#7 One day in a restaurant I worked at, there came a minor panic when a gentleman walked through the dining room and kitchen carrying a rifle (later determined to be of the pellet variety) and a tennis racquet. Turned out he was the rat exterminator.

#8 It's all fun until somebody gets hurt.
I remember hearing one walking down my counter taking off canister lids, late one night. I had setup a rat trap with cheese and peanut butter(no bacon!) next in the row. It set off the trap with a 'BANG' like something with leaf springs from a truck. I pulled on my boots and robe and ran to the kitchen. There he was, walking around trying to shake off the trap that had neatly closed on his neck.

#9 Tennis racquet? And who got hurt, Skidmark? Because it does't sound like your rat was more than annoyed...

MOVIE TRAILER = "THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE UNSTOPPABLE, THEY'RE IRON/STEEL RATS"!

They want your Cheese + they want it NOW!
