Apr. 23rd, 2006 11:43 amRåtta is my latest plush; a gift from my ex. His full name according to the tag is Minnen Råtta (as far as I can gather, that's Swedish for My Rat*--just because I'm Finnish, don't expect me to know any Swedish). He is a Swedish rat who was found in Ikea. What they are doing selling rat plush is anyone's guess.

vandringar has come to the rescue and advised me that it actually means Memento Rat. Thanks Vandringar!

Roland Rat!
Oct. 15th, 2005 10:02 amLook what I got in the mail this week!
( Cut to shield your sensitive eyes... )
For those of you who don't remember, Roland Rat (aka Roland Rat Superstar) was a puppet from the early 80s who was credited with saving a TV station. Considering the bad press rats normally get, I think this is a noteworthy achievement and I respect him a lot for it. This is why I'm so pleased to have brought back a bit of my childhood with this plush. I know I like to blame The Secret of NIMH, but Roland might be the real reason I'm a rat. This is not to say he was a good role model for rats; he was arrogant and rude, but his fans (me among them) loved him for it. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it was usually to tell you how famous he is.
