Random shit like this just totally makes my fucking day
I'm interrupting my spectacular vacation to share the following awesomeness:
BIGGEST
INFLATABLE RAT
EVER.
I've seen my share of scab-protesting rats in my time, but this is just ridiculous. My man up there is nearly eye level with the second fucking floor of Beth Israel. I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be recovering in that room.

if i was in charge of the rat, i would set it up in front of people's bedroom windows to scare them when they first wake up.
I gotta tell on my friend. She thought it was an exterminator company and they were working on the building that day and advertising their services.
I think it's actually a union thing.
jeepers, imagine the patients at the medical centre double checking their medication after catching a glimpse of that.....you should see the rat catcher!

now I know who these belong to
The rat gets around - I usually see him in midtown. Apparently it's a generic union symbol placed in front of buildings/sites not using union labor.

Anonymous,
Spectacular Flickr link. How'd you find that giant table and chair? Those kick ass.
Here's my favorite thing about the rat. Up until just now, there was only one of them, so when different unions wanted to picket, they had to call up the union that was holding the rat at the time and ask to borrow it. Can you imagine?
"Hey Joe, what's up. Yeah, the guys at the Local 102 need to borrow the rat this weekend. Oh you need it back on Tuesday? Yeah, we'll messenger it over".
LOVE IT.
Never seen the biggest one. thanks.
JEEPERS!?!?!? - what is this fucking Scoobie Doo?
Larry,

Loved hearing from Audrey that the rat is one of many. Can you imagine the family gatherings?
