Blah Blah Blaaaaahhhhh

Angelina from OHIO writes: "...Hello Chris, my name is Angelina. I am 23teen and my roommate Tamara and I have a total of four rat pets and we LOVE then okay! I think it's really rude that some of your viewers are total jerk-offs, being ugly and vicious, saying rats are ugly and nasty and blah blah blah... They are pets to us, like family! and we love them. And not only 17 yr old goth girls own rats! They are owned and loved by normal people, like a novelist or soon to be college graduating photographer. And even though this picture i'm sending you is me with pink hair and Tamara's rat Heather on my head, I am not Goth... well, i'm not." Angelina.

Somtimes bald,
eyesight poor
I'd liket to slam you
in my car door

...Rat

Some may argue,
but I've watched "Ben"
You look disgusting,
you ain't no "10"

...Rat

Carolyn, perhaps you should try decaf, as well. SHE is the one who brought up Goth and had a little hiss because she didn't want anyone to think she (eGADS!) was goth or emo for having pink hair and a rat! There's no hating! And no labeling! Goth and Emo kids LOVE being called goth and emo because it gets them what they want... ATTENTION!
No one dyes their hair shocking pink or black and dons jet black fingernails and rats if they won't want people to talk about them.
Attention is the name of the game & just having this back and forth and people proclaiming they are NOT Goth or emo (oh my, they are too different and weird!! - they eat that up). The attention makes their black nails one shade darker.

You're not from Mars,
yet not from Venus
perhaps near Uranus??
Because you look like a pe nis

...rat

I enjoy the last haiku. :)

[Tova]

HA HA HA HA HA! I was checking to see if my poem verses FINALLY posted and happened to see Angelina's post and really noticed where she wrote "I am not emo, you piece of smelly poo!"

Oh, my gosh! 23, you said? Graduating college?

Still amused... A bit frightened of our future, but amused.

This Ontario-educated individual hastens to point out that the last stanza of Tova's poem isn't haiku.

Haiku consists of three lines of five, then seven, then five syllables, and doesn't rhyme. Tova's verse is closer to iambic pentameter with an ABAB rhyming pattern.

And no, I don't intend to start a poetry war.

Chris is laughing at everyone who is arguing on the page you know.
PINK HAIR = FAIL.
IRONY OF NOT BEING "EMO" OR "GOTH" = WIN.

[Banananna]

Tova, your poetry is epic! I am laughing my non-emo, non-goth, rat-hating ass off!

Thank you, Banananna! I have others! ;-) I give my friends a challenge, sometimes, and ask them to throw a word at me (preferably an animal) and try to come up with something in 3-5 minutes! I just happened to be inspired by the continuation of "rat wars"

[Tova]

If someone could post a beluga whale or a raccoon, I can share those... ;-)

[Angelina!]

wow. I just wanted to show off my pet.

I could have written Chris an email that said, look this is me with my pet rat. But I was obviously using the goth thing on purpose to be funny.

you people are mean.

i'm glad you all enjoy making people feel like shit.

[DjTerran]

I call troll.

lols. my mum hates rats, and that may be one reason I have 8 of them.
There's no point trying to make people like something that you do.
It's like trying to make everyone vegan. Ain't realistic y'all

You know, I can't help but picture Chris leaning back in his easy chair with the slightest bit of a smirk on his face, having feeling full with the swelling satisfaction of causing yet another rat war.
He will sip on some "cranberry juice" as the drama unfolds at his whim.
He is a genius. Somebody get him a Peabody Award.
