Rat [chat]

ArchArch Neat-o, mosquito!Registered User regular
edited November 2010 in Debate and/or Discourse
Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents of the superfamily Muroidea. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most important of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus. Many members of other rodent genera and families are also referred to as rats, and share many characteristics with true rats.

European associations with the rat are generally negative. For instance, "Rats!" is used as a substitute for various vulgar interjections in the English language. These associations do not draw, per se, from any biological or behavioral trait of the rat, but possibly from the association of rats (and fleas) with the 14th-century medieval plague called the Black Death. Rats are seen as vicious, unclean, parasitic animals that steal food and spread disease.

    Rats are filthy, they are one of the few animals Billy just kills without mercy.

    Ugh, why do I have to go out bar hopping tonight instead of playing poker with my friends, wrryyyyy???

    Also, I had a revelation irt to Starcraft.

    Basically, my eyes and my hands should never be doing the same thing in that game, and my top screen and bottom screen should always be looking at different things.

    Now actually doing this sounds a lot harder than it is to say.

    My letters to Tom Perriello and Jim Webb:
    Dear Mr. Perriello,
    Thank you. Thank you for standing up for the President. Thank you for standing up for Democrats everywhere. Thank you for not being a self-hating Blue Dog. Thank you for showing that Democrats in conservative districts don't have to run away from the party. You lost, but it was a very close race in a very damaging climate. Thank you for voting for health care. Please, take the fifth district back in 2012. With Obama on your side again, on the ticket, you can do it.
    Dear Senator Webb,
    I voted for you in 2006, and I plan to do so again in two years. You're probably a little nervous right now, given that we just lost the House and came fairly close to losing the Senate as well. You're probably considering moving to the right, since you won by a hair in 2006 and 2012 might be less generous to Democrats. Don't. The reason we lost as much as we did on Tuesday was that the traditional Democratic groups - liberals, minorities, and the youth - didn't turn out quite as much as in the last two cycles. If you engage in outreach to these groups over the next two years, I guarantee you'll win another term. If you triangulate and pretend to be a Republican (except when it comes to coal and climate change, where you're mostly out of luck because Virginia refuses to let go of its dirty energy), you will not get the votes that you need from them, and Republicans still won't vote for you. Tom Perriello stood with the President, and lost by three and a half points in a very red House district; Glenn Nye ran away from him and bashed the Democratic agenda, and lost by eleven points in a similar district. Please, Senator, don't listen to David Broder and his colleagues. Be a real Democrat.

    I just hate how people bring up cancelations or shows having a rough start and every fucking time they'll mention firefly.

    Or a show will have someone from firefly in it and they are like "Oh so and so should show up." NO NO THEY SHOULDN'T SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    Jesus the actress who played Kaylee and the one who played joss whedons fantasy girl are show assassins. They should show up nowhere!
