Orlando Rats
I don’t get into downtown Orlando much (although I will be doing so quite a bit in the near future, so if anyone has suggestions as to good nightspots, I’d love to hear them) and according to a news item over at WFTV.com that might be a GOOD thing. That’s because there has been a population jump in the number of rats in the downtown area. The linked article explains the reasons.
But what jumped out at me was this line:
The problem is so significant in Central Florida, a rodent trapping company has a website called OrlandoRats.com.
I literally started laughing out loud when I read that name, though the situation is certainly no laughing matter. But when you think of the Mickey Mouse connection to Orlando, it just seems a humorous natural extension.

Fuck rats, I’ve got raccoons living in my neighborhood! I live right in Thorton Park and haven’t really noticed any rat problem, but raccoons yes.
Hmmm… so that really fat animal with a really skinny tail that I saw the other morning near Lake Eola wasn’t a diseased squirrel? Damn!!
