Giant Rats Seize Harlem Parking Lot, Drivers Can't Get to Cars!

071509rat.jpg The boss is never going to believe this one: A report just came in over the police scanners about an "unusual occurrence" in a parking lot at East 128th Street between Park and Lex, where police have been summoned because "people are unable to get to their cars due to 10-15 very large rats in the parking lot." And so it begins; the day we've all dreaded when a master race of rats form organized battalions to take over the city once and for all. Well, Gothamist, for one, welcomes our new rodent overlords, and we look forward to seeing them show the current administration how real rats run a city. Viva la Rat!

Wah! I can't get to my car because of a giant rat... Wah! I agree, Viva la Rat!

Two things,
1: Great Simpsons reference!
2: I'm pretty sure this is an animal control problem, the cops shouldn't have anything to do with this unless the rats are also tagging cars with their names and smoking pot and stealing people's wallets...

1. Bwaaahahaahaha. I died reading that line.
2. Given the location I think there's plenty of pot smoking and wallet stealing as is. Give the cops something new to worry about.

Oh man. Still can't get over the Brockman reference.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Now that Michael Jackson is dead, Ben is taking over...

don't be scared fellow city dwellers, there's a lot of protein on the loose up there. catch'em, put'em on a spit, and bbq those bastards. viva la "super smoked sweet & spicy" rat.

Free food for the homeless.

Roast 'em whole, massage out the meat with curried fingers and Voila! The perfect Mattar Paneer!

What is felixthecat2's read on these land based geese?

He'd say humans are to blame - mostly the Jews.

You can continue to label me anti-semite but it won't stop me from speaking against Israel bombing school children and UN hospital. Playing the race card is lame.

do not incite the fur-brain. it is nice and sane in here for once.

And the leader is one Sr. Pedro Espadrat.

Geoelh has got!

I think the pols from Albany are just down here for a field trip or something. Don't worry they won't bite, they actually won't really do anything at all.

...except give their staff members huge raises.

fur-brain? what a juvenile lame comment.

Send all of the vegans in there, and the rats and vegans can all annihilate each other at the same time. We'll get rid of two NYC pests at the same time.

There are people in NYC who are that afraid of rats? Guess that's why they had cars in the parking lot; obviously they're never going into the subway.
