Kreisleriana - 08 Oct 2004 14:23 GMT If you ever wondered how a slew of celebrities, from Charles Dickens and Albert Einstein to Tom Cruise and Britney Spears would look like with rats on their heads, you're in luck. <http://www.geocities.com/youhavearatonyourhead/index.html>
Click on a page number. ;)
Although, I wonder if they shouldn't be reported to the ASPCA for cruelty to the rat, putting the poor thing on some of those heads. :P
Damn, if anyone could look good with a rat on his head, though, it's Ralph Fiennes. Oh baby!

>I thought Donald Trump already had a rat on his head? Or is it a rat's nest? I thought it was a dead tribble.
[Seriously, a friend of mine actually owns a tribble. When she showed it to me, my immediate reaction was "what are you doing with Donald Trump's toupee?" You'd think a guy that rich could afford a halfway decent rug. :-)]

The doc says "Good Lord, how long have you had that thing?" The rat says, "I dunno, it just started out as a little wart on my butt."

LOL! I never thought of Bridish humor as more sophisticated, just different. But then, don't ask me, I *like* slapstick and I ain't afraid to admit it! :)

I can't see anything funny in it at all. Maybe I need a humour implant. I'm not a slapstick fan at all, but Monty Python was a bit different. Who will ever forget the dead parrot taken back to the petshop? For those who haven't seen this sketch, a chap takes a parrot back (it's dead, and was dead when he bought it) Pet shop owner does his best to persuade customer that it isn't dead at all. Customer finally loses his patience "Look, this is an EX PARROT" You have to see it to appreciate it. You could say "this is an ex-parrot" to anyone in Britain and they'd know exactly what you meant and where it came from.

When John Cleese was on Desert Island Discs (an English radio program), back in the eighties, he also asked for a papier-mache replica of Margaret Thatcher and a basball bat.
We should elect him God.

But what is the difference between selling a dead parrot and a rat on someone's head, e.g., a rat photoshopped onto a lot of pictures of celebrity's heads? They are both absurd.
