I think you left RDG before the Rat Army was discovered, with barracks under and behind my shower. Long, grisly story. Suffice it to say, for now, that my bathroom was gutted and rebuilt, literally from the ground up. --M Oh, I’ve had numerous close encounters with rodents.

But all of us here deal with the occasional bat. People will be chatting in hallways or gathering in their classes when — inexplicably to the clueless observer — everyone screams and runs in some random direction, inevitably smashing into each other in their panic. Bats can be very startling. This is especially true if a couple of them fly out from behind your shower while you are showering in it. It’s even worse if the bathroom door is closed and they keep flying around in that erratic sonar-guided way they have, so that you have no idea where they’ll end up or which way to dodge. I speak from experience. One minute I was showering, the next I was naked in the living room, having gotten there without traversing the distance in between, making me the only human being who has ever, literally, made a quantum leap.

It wouldn't freak me out to find one of those dead. Alive, maybe, but not dead. Yes, I'm one of those freaks who loves scary stuff. You'd have to do better than a dead bat to really scare me. :) Ooh, that’s fascinating! It wouldn’t freak me out to find one of those dead. Alive, maybe, but not dead.

BTW, you won for most horrifying. Or lost. I guess it depends on your perspective. Lesson learned people, never live below ground level. Never, never, never, never!
