Now, Pennsylvania Polka, once more, from the top!
Of all the piano studios in all the world, we had to walk into Kashyyyk’s. Thanks, Amanda.
Practice, practice, practice!

Now, Pennsylvania Polka, once more, from the top!

!! Fat rat! Do want!! I want to feel that pudge in my hands!!
Rats Domino
BWAHAAAAAA!
*falls off chair laughing*
I was thinking Ratmaninoff. You may be right….(snerk, snicker, walking off snerking and snickering….)
Is it me or is that one furry rat?
Some rats have slightly woolier fur than others. I had some rats that were the offspring of a normal father and a hairless mother, and their hair was kind of wiry, not sleek and smooth like most rats. It looks like the rat in this pic has fur of the same texture.
It’s a so called rex rat – heterozygotes between a “normal” and a “naked” rat, they get wonderful, curly hair. Homozygotes become hairless
Nucleus – There’s a Cornish Rex cat that has textured/curly hair.
Well, have you been sitting on piano keyboards lately someone could have taken your picture? I don’t know what you look like, but I suspect your nose isn’t quite that pointy or whiskery…but, hey, you be the judge. Merry Christmas to all Peeps and the anipals who love them!
I think that’s “one more time, from the HOP.”
The “Mr. Burns” rubbing hands! Deliciously ebil.
“You didn’t practice this week did you Smithers, hmmm.”
IMHO, c’est un(e) gross souris, la-bas!!
Cute pic, though!!!
— I count five “P’s”, including
Also: lovely Alliteration, Pyrit
the nom de “P”lume (wait, that would make SIX!!!)
(PS: In French, the “G” word has a different meaning than en Anglais
)
XXLOL : ) vraiment!
Vivent les langues divers!!!
Varmint!
You forgot the “silent” e at the end of grosse, The pronunciation is the same (gross), but you have to put an e at the end because souris is a feminine noun.
C’est une grosse souris (I’s a big mouse)
Don’t ask me why it’s a feminine word, it just is and that’s the joy and frustration of French.
ca va; je m’excuse
No need, French is one of the most complicated and f*** up language on the planet.
You’re good for a non native.
Non, non, il n’est pas une grosse souris, c’est un rat de taille moyenne.
“PC” en francais, non???
No, “PB”! (“Princess Bride”)
That is a beautiful photograph. I love how the sun is shining through his peenk ears.

All about Porkofiev
wow. Sum total is now: 15 or so.
Phenomenal.
oops, now it’s 16!!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
And now, for my next number, I’d like to do that old ragtime standard ‘Rat on the Keys’.
And for an encore, Ratsody in Blue.
excellence, Mme. True excellence.
Ratsody! ROTFLMAO
Don’t think he’s ready for a duet with Nora, though.
I think that’s a pretty overweight rat, even accounting for the furriness. Fewer treats and more time outside the cage!
Agreed. Repeat after me, pet owners: Love =/= food.
No, no, no, he’s not overly plump. It’s just the way he is sitting. His back end is all scrunched up.
My past two ratties, their idea of how to spend time outside the cage was to nestle in my bed pillows and pester me to pet pet pet them. Not much exercise there, except for my fingers.
Isn’t Kashyyyk the wookie homeworld?
Yes. Wonder what the rest of the family looks like….
Precious squishy baby!
Chubby Cheekers
LOL
He’s not fat, he is just compressed (ratties are like concertinas, they can stretch themselves out to be all sleek, or sort compress themselves so they go all round and floofy). And he is lovely and fuzzy. This ratty is just beautiful! I love his leetle peenk ears!
heh heh Your comment about compression reminded me of that old joke, “I’m not overweight, I’m just too short!” If I could stretch out to about 7’2″ I’d be just right!
or I’m not fat I’m vertically challenged.
Garfield always said, ”i’m not overweight, I’m just undertall!”
Or Norm, on Cheers, when asked what he was up to, replied “my ideal weight, if I was 11 feet tall.”
NORM!!!
The notorious Pennsylvania Poker, the terror of pianos from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.
(Not certain whether to add add’l tallies for duplicated terms. ….
Subtotal now either 19 or 21)
It started in Scranton! It’s now Number One!
What a be-yootiful fuzzball!
I wish my brother George was here !
OMG!!! Looks so much like my Pinky and Bluebell. (RIP) The fur texture/color, the ears….
I wanna pick this rat up and rub my face in their fur.
For the last encore he will play Micheal Jackson’s Ben!
now that’s pretty clever. I didn’t think of that one
I also love the little ruffly earsies!
Any rat named after the Wookiee home planet must be busy watching the Star Wars Holiday Special just about now . . .
Is that Settlers of Catan in the background?
This is the most precious rat! I had one the same color, and another with the “dumbo” ears… no one believes me what good pets they are, and how SMART!
The province I live in does NOT allow rats as pets, but when I move into another, I am definitely getting a rattie!! NO if, ands, buts, or maybes about it. Period.
Love to the ratties <3
Ratmaninov.
Ohhhhh a raaaaaat! I love you rat!
I bought my son 2 rats for Christmas. They are the BEST!

Ah! Hi Kash!! You were such a good little rattie, I’m glad everyone in the comments loves you too!
This is Amanda, Kashyyyk’s mommy!
Yes, Kash was a pudgy boy. And yes he also had rex fur. He was quite the little maestro ^_^
Unfortunately, Kash is no longer with us, but I still have his sister, and she appreciates everyone giving him so much love! Thank you so much everyone, this entry really brightened my day.
