- Before you adopt a dog you might want to consider whether it is the kind of dog who might DIVE ON THE BIGGEST RAT YOU'VE EVER SEEN AND REFUSE TO DROP IT FOR FIVE MINUTES WHILE YOU SCREAM ON PROSPECT PARK WEST
- Thinking fondly of the Hungarian gentleman in Connecticut who called into WNYC this morning to explain the necessity of everyday Ukrainians knowing how to make a Molotov cocktail to throw at tanks and gave a pretty detailed how-to before being abruptly disconnected by the host
- the police could beat up de Blasio and he would say it didn't happen
- Replying to @Alex_LilyThe guy said: Try it. I tried it. I stopped screaming and pulling and prying. Hank READJUSTED HIS GRIP ON THE RAT. The guy said: Try it again. Hank DROPPED THE RAT TO GET A BETTER GRIP at which point I yanked the dog away.
- Replying to @Alex_LilyNow we know how he survived for the mysterious first three years of his life.
- Replying to @Alex_LilyI had time to take the photo because he was not going anywhere without this enormous dead rat. Speaking of teeth, you can see the rat's teeth, bared in death agonies (presumably from poison, not from Hank)
- Sally Rooney writing in 2018 on the Irish abortion ban. "Consent, in the form of a donor card, is required even to remove organs from a dead body.... In the relationship between fetus and woman, the woman is granted fewer rights than a corpse." lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v40/…
- Replying to @Alex_LilyPeople walked by. People laughed. Human nature is not kind.
- Replying to @Alex_LilyGreetings, good afternoon: Hank just caught a SECOND RAT.
- Replying to @Alex_LilyReaders of this thread might like to know that Hank has a long history with rodents. We first became aware of it last year, when he slurped down a (much smaller) rat in Prospect Park.
- Replying to @Alex_LilyFinally, an angel arrived in the form of a construction worker. He said: Leave the dog alone. He'll drop the rat. I said: HE'S NOT LETTING GO OF THIS RAT.
- My dad, a lawyer, is leading a movie club about lawyers in film. His female associates want more movies about women lawyers. I can't think of many, for obvious reasons. Film people: what are good law movies with women in leading legal roles?
