Apparently Swift Current has a rat problem. Not that I'm denouncing it, or sitting in my house with my ears plugged shouting LA LA LA LA! I just haven't seen any rats. I make regular trips to the hospital for work and haven't seen any in the field behind where they apparently hold their daily rat parties. I've been to the Southside where apparently they congregate. I've been down allies, past garbage piles...nothing.Until Friday. Brad and I were leaving Movie Gallery when we saw a man (who shall now be refered to as Slack Jawed Yokel...or Mr Yokel for short) run across the street with a vehicle window scraper. In front of Mr Yokel was a medium sized rat scampering desperately across the street. The pair made it to the lawn of an apartment building on the other side and Mr Yokel began wailing his window scraper at the grass. We watched with disturbed facination as he enthusiastically began stomping his boot. His travelling companion who I can only assume was Mr Yokel Senior laughed from beside our Escape. After a few moments, Mr Yokel strutted confidently across the street laughing to himself and saying something akin to "I got him good!"
Now I believe that we have a rat problem, but more disturbing in my mind, is the hillbilly problem. How much money will the city put towards dealing with these rabbid hillbillies?

The rats, being an inteligent species will take condsiderable more effort to remove than the hillbillies who possible will cause their own demise through in-breeding and/or unknowingly attempting to win the darwin award. That's my view anyway. Meanwhile please avoid encountering any and all hillbillies. They are a scary, unpredictable lot and most likely infectious. Be vewy, vewy afwaid.
In my head I suspect this man looks like Cleatus from the Simpsons. Hyuck.
I think I'd rather take the infiltration of rats over a spike in the Mr. Yokel population any day.
I saw that! I laughed out loud when I saw Mr. Yokel (who's name is actually Ernie...which is almost as good as Mr. Yokel) running violently with his window scraper swinging at the ground.
Vigilante justice at it's finest.
So glad to see there was another witness.
A spike in the hillbilly population? No no, that's just their family tree!
