Thank you. We haven't felt well for a while.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

I hate rats. I have seen some monster ones in Hawaii. The only rat I have ever been partial to was Splinter.

The Kombai tribe in New Guinea uses dogs to find rat holes in the jungle. Then they trap them, kill them, and eat them.

In Micronesia, they don't eat cats and rats. Pretty much everything else is fair game.

But given the lack of protein for some of them, maybe not eating the rats is a bad idea.

I saw the headline of this thread and initially thought you were referring to Ratliff. I thought, oh brother, what are the stinky pirate whores at the bar accusing him of now? Can't a guy go enjoy a Long Island without being accused of eating babies anymore?

Sadly I have no rat stories to contribute, only cockroach stories.

However I do have a friend in Salt Lake who made her husband sell their house in the Avenues and move to a house in Sandy because she saw a mouse run across the floor.

That is funny, too. But I was really laughing about the Ratliff part.

My dad accidentally toasted a mouse once. He was having a midnight snack and he could not get the toaster to go all the way down so he kept pushing until it finally went all the way down with his toast. He thought it smelled a little funny, but ate his toast and went to bed.

In the morning my mom smelled something funny and looked in the toaster to see a crushed, toasted mouse. Guess what I got for breakfast.

Templeton wasn't too bad either. I enjoy his song "A Veritable Smorgasbord."
