Weren't you afraid the police would come after you for reading banned material? You are very courageous!  Do I detect an oblique reference to Fahrenheit 451? If so, he may have actually been worried about the Firemen ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more courageous on my part than grudgingly tolerating stinkeye from reactionary step-father and roll eye from mid-cult friends. I read them long after they were banned and had been subsequently no longer banned. Edited September 30, 2018 by Dingfelder 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cat high tails it, but returns a few moments later with two more cats that chase off the two rats. Rats return with five or more of its biggest muscle. A battle ensues that ends with the cats running off and not coming back. What??? Rats that scare off cats? I Must have lived a sheltered life...the few rats I have seen are like large mice, more reclusive, certainly not aggressive, and look more or less helpless against a common cat. (They damn sure weren't that big, more like what you would see in a pet store) Crazy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one today in Malcolm X park (same neighborhood) that was nearly as big as this one that this Columbia Heights resident was brave enough to attack and kill. Not ashamed to admit that I would have run and jumped on top of something had I seen this behemoth staring me down. The one I saw today was on the move, and I was on the Nik+, so no threat at all. 😆😆😆😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My funny story was when a possum found a way into my apartment. Not really wanting to kill it (she was obviously nursing), I gently caught her with a belt loop around her neck, then ran downstairs and let her go. To my surprise but probably to none of you guys, I found her again in my bedroom eating my sandwich, and so I whacked her over the head with a textbook, and that was that. Messy business.
