A Night Out
|
A Night Out A night out was good for me. My niece made me laugh. She told me how she had caught a rat in her kitchen and got it trapped it in the bin liner. She didn't want to kill it but had heard that they come back if you let them go within a couple of miles so she was going down the road to catch a bus but it fought its way out of the bag and ran up her arm. (Most women would have had a rat themselves if that happened to them I know! ) Now she thinks it is back in the house. She doesn't want to report it to the council for poisoning. I told her you can catch bubonic plague from them but she said "well you would need a bubonic rat." On the way I had to drive past the place where I lived when I first moved to London years ago. I felt connected with the real me somehow and then "Peaches" by the stranglers came on the radio. As soon as that growling base line and minimalisat drum beat came out of my speakers I was nineteen again, happily single and hanging out with my friends. I remember I knew then how I felt empty inside without a lover to focus my dreams on, but still all was okay in my world. Jerry Lee was old and frail but his voice still had a magic and what we could hear of his piano sounded great. But sadly the sound quality was very poor for a serious venue like the Forum. Support act Wanda Jackson was as mad as a bucket of frogs. When we came out it had snowed. Snow in London, (proper inches of settled snow ) in October. It is virtually unheard of! |

I think your niece would crack me up somehow Dreamy Rat's in sacks & mad frog in boxes or is that boxers, OMG the imagery  Startin to think you're mad as meat axes!  I'm not surprised Jerry Lee's lookin a tad old and frail, what a shame the sound wasn't up to scratch. The snow must have been a lovely treat to see, did it ya get your 'nipplage' going?   MWAH  Kizza

My son had a pet rat named George for a few years; he was really cute, but he had huge testicles that would hang down my son's shoulder when he perched around his neck. That's funny.... it snowed here for a short while today,,, and snow on Long Island is October is also rare. I was excited! Elevate me...

I don't know the origin of "Mad as a box of frogs." I described jakedrake8 like that once and he thought it was so good he renamed his blog! I think it just means someone excitable, jumping around all over the place, impossible to pin down. Maybe someone who goes stir crazy if they are cooped up like frogs in a box. But as rose said when jake renamed his blog - "but are frogs really "mad" or are they just misunderstood? Or maybe they are just mad when they are put into a box...hmmm?"

It was funny! I told her to catch it again and take it to the vet to get a bubonic plague shot, and then it would be safe to keep it as long as she looked after it and didn't let it go out on the street at night, lol.

She is quite slight and urban, very academic; you wouldn't expect her to be able to handle a rat like that. But it just goes to show you never know what different strengths and weaknesses people will have.
