so, on my coffee break today, a colleague and I were discussing
the possibility that the rats and squirrels in dc had cross-bred
and were producing these hidious rat-like squirrels.
the first time i spotted this bottle brush, slinking creature i was literally horrified. i mean, these creepazoids don't even hop, they CRAWL
Bob suggested we call it a "squat", which is quite appropriate,
however when you mix their Spanish names you get "ratardilla"
which aptly describes this entire thought process...
then i found out this $h*t is real
and suspect some Laotian Rock Rat smuggling operation,
which honestly, would make me feel much better about it somehow.
