Bring me one rat tail and I'll upgrade your class.
Mine's a better deal than Ironwoods. His offer sucks.

Does this game have crafting? Can those rat tails be used for anything?

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I used to keep a pet domestic "Fancy Rat". Provided they've been hand-raised, they're actually pretty friendly little guys and make great pets - if you don't mind their involuntary urination and 2 year life span. I wouldn't recommend breeding them unless you're cool with selling them as snake food. (This calls for a YouTube video reference.) From the looks of things, these "5-times the size of city rat" guys are being compared to the average Fancy Rat. That's not too big, we once had a Norwegian Barn Rat infestation in the garage and they were not much smaller. Big as cats. (Poisoned those poor bastards out.) |

SS or it didn't happen:  In this undated photo released by Conservation International, mammalogist Martua Sinaga holds a 1.4 kg giant rat that is probably a species new to science, in Foja mountains in Indonesia's easternmost Papua province, Indonesia. Researchers in a remote jungle in Indonesia have discovered a giant rat and a tiny possum that are apparently new to science, underscoring the stunning biodiversity of the Southeast Asian nation, scientists said Monday, Dec. 17, 2007.

I wouldn't recommend breeding them unless you're cool with selling them as snake food. (This calls for a YouTube video reference.) LoL... "Fancy Rat" I remember as a kid we had a black rat snake (about 5'-6' long). My dad and I would go to the pet store to buy "feeder mice" to feed the snake. They were about 10 cents a pop. One time we went there was another child there who wanted a "pet mouse". Sure enough it came right out of the same exact cage but this time it cost $5. Now I'm not saying your "Fancy Rat" is the same deal as the "feeder" vs. "pet" mouse but it made me laugh. |

We used to love buying mice for our monitors, but getting rabbits for the big snake was the best. Some kids would be looking at the cute little bunnies and we would evilly chuckle over which one would die to appease the reptiles. Bonus if it was one the kid was trying to convince his parents to buy.  |

Ok, see, the point is not to ask what the funny looking guy wants with a stack of dead rats. Just take your money and move onto the next guy looking lost. |

Damn. If I could import those big fuckers to Thailand I would be rich.  Villagers boil rats in Suphan Buri province, 120 km (75 miles) north of Bangkok, November 1, 2007. Once struggling to make ends meet in pest-infested villages, Thai rice farmers are now making money out of the very scourge that has gnawed at their finances -- rats. Thailand is the world's biggest rice exporter and roasted bandicoot rat has become a popular delicacy at roadside stalls despite costing twice as much as pork or chicken. |

I agree the first two posts here need to be saved for posterity.
Sometimes I wish a carried a little notebook/diary around so I could write things like this down, read them back on a rainy day and smile. Doesn't work so well with internet stuff but whatever.
Ironwood's post is like a microcosm of this entire website.

What's strange is my wife read this thread. She didn't even smile.
It's a joke that's simply for 'us' and NOT FOR YOU.
Sometimes we need reminders that, despite our horrid tempestuous lives and the daily amount of shit and excellence that each of us here suffer in real life, we're all simply a bunch of geeks that like geeky shit.
Glad you all smiled.
