Dr. Rat Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 Like you care, I know. Anyhow, the Google topic got me to thinking that it probably wasn't fair to all the people associated with WNMC who aren't opinonated pains-in-the-ass that the fair name of the radio station should be sullied by my activities here. So B-3, through some alchemy has changed my handle to Dr. Rat, thus expanding our board species representation to at least three. And though you may think it, please, I beg of you, post no comparisons between my monicker and my general demanor. Thanks for you patience, --eric The Rat formerly known as WNMC Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 Oh, it's you, Eric. So much for my desire to post "who gives a doctor's ass..." Quote
Brad Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 Looks like you've been "ratted out" by the moose. Quote

maren Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 So B-3, through some alchemy has changed my handle to Dr. Rat, thus expanding our board species representation to at least three. Do you mean rats, or doctors? (DrJ, AchtungDrFreudCalling...) Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 So B-3, through some alchemy has changed my handle to Dr. Rat... I am all-powerful. Bow before me. Quote

Do you mean rats, or doctors? (DrJ, AchtungDrFreudCalling...) Actually I meant moose, rat, human . . . notice I said at least . . . thinking about it there's also a muskrat, dogs, cats, a river rat (different species?--probably) and probably a whole managerie besides. We are truly an ark. I am the third rat person, I guess, though I see as well, but there's a bunch more doctors, some of whom might actually be doctors. --eric Quote

I thought you meant "at least three representatives of this particular species." Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Well, I know this board has always done rat by me... Quote

7/4 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Meow! Ha! When I was a kid, my older sisters "baby sat" the high school bio labs white rat. We kept it in a cage in the basement, and our cat wouldn't go to the basement all summer. We lived in the NJ suburbs and I guess the cat just didn't know WTF the rat was! Quote

I had a pet rat about 10 years ago named Gilda (after the Rita Hayworth movie). She was a cool pet. She loved Cheetos. But, my stupid roomate decided to be "snake guy" and bought some pythons and boa constrictors. I think it traumatized her seeing members of her species being consumed by those stupid snakes. She passed on soon after (and no, I didn't let him feed her to the snakes - he did ask though) Quote
Dr. Rat Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) Meow! Ha! When I was a kid, my older sisters "baby sat" the high school bio labs white rat. We kept it in a cage in the basement, and our cat wouldn't go to the basement all summer. We lived in the NJ suburbs and I guess the cat just didn't know WTF the rat was! I've got a couple little rats--I think they are bred from lab rat stock--they are very docile but they are colored. My cat definitely knows from rats: she pants and gets all worked up, but she's a bit of a spaz--we found her under the porch with her head screwed on wrong (about a 25 degree angle off center) so she's never been quite right. The rats just come right up to the cat and rub noses, and the cat just doesn't seem to know how to take this. She knows she's supposed to do something with these damned rats, but doesn't seem to know what! Our rats are lots of fun. One is Chubbs and the other is Solly. They're quite intelligent and curious. I aspire to be like them one day. We got a boa, too (talk about manageries!), but feeding is a private matter! No non-comestible rats allowed! --eric Edited March 9, 2004 by Dr. Rat Quote
Dr. Rat Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Posted March 9, 2004 The book that inspired my monicker (link in Claude's note on this thread) is definitely worth a read. A caustic critique of the abuse of science as an institution. And they can use a good kick in the ass once in a while (I'm about to marry my second scientist type, so I'm allowed). --eric Quote
