  And the very same to you sir.
  (I’m sorry, I have nothing even remotely humorous to say. I feel shame.)

  Year of the Rat, huh? Well, here’s to all of us staving off the upcoming hantavirus breakout that’s bound to pop up.

  This should be a big year for Congressman Dennis Kucinich, former major-leaguer Gary Gaetti, and other similarly rat-like creatures.

  I shall reciprocate your expression of joy in reference to the new year. Is that…..no it couldn’t be. I thought the rat in your post might be a DEATH RAT.

  Ahh, giant rats bring back memories of my favorite Bert I. Gordon movie, “The Food of the Gods.” Good times, good times. And by ‘good times’ I mean ‘rats eating off faces’.

  Who could ever forget Ernest Borgnine, eaten alive by an army of rats, in Willard. Ah, misty water-colored memories. Happy New Year!

  May the new year bring you neutral contentment, mild bemusement, and a general sense of familiar apathy.

  Just kidding. I wish you guys the best for 2008. Can you believe it? A new year! Just filled with a new slew of teeth-grinding, brain-melting, previously-suppressed-psychopathic-urge-triggering cinematic disappointments. I smell a good year!

  But just in case you’re getting too optimistic, here’s our friend Mr. Carrey to drag you weeping and howling back to the pits of reality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwfh9icSJgY

  Another year of that and possibly things like it… Ah. That’s good disillusionment.

  The year of the Rat is the same year as the presidential elections? Why am I not suprised

  Thank you for showering such good cheer upon us, your faceless and obedient people.

  I was born in a Year of the Snake, so for me, this means… this means…

  I’ll get back to you.

  Alas, my cats have eaten all the rats in our area. Oops.

  Just having “rats” and “area” in the same sentence makes me shudder…

  “Area” :::shudder:::

• 12 Edgewriter on Jan 1, 2008 at 3:04 pm

  I have never had rats in my “area”, but I have had a rat’s nest in my “area”. It was time for some personal grooming I must say.

  I left the cats out of it, though.

  For the record, the Chinese New Year doesn’t start for another month….

  …I’m becoming one of those guys that people just turn around and walk away from at parties, aren’t I?

  I’m sorry Sampo, did you say something? I reflexively turned and walked away.

  Well, even though the lunar calendar hasn’t yet turned over, you can be sure it will be at least mid-March before I finally remember to stop writing “Year Of The Pig” on all my checks.

  Great joke!

  I know - that’s why I stole it from Letterman 22 years ago. Since the theft has gone unreported for all this time, I’m certain the Statute of Limitations will protect me in my baldfaced effort to claim it as my own.

  Oh, and thank you.
