    I know Goat tries to be positive but I didn’t expect him to be this hokey.

    Maybe he can get store credit for it, or “karma.”

    I find it hard to believe that anybody has ever given Rat a gift.

    Sorry, Rat. You have to play the hand you’re dealt in life.

    And just like that, the present is gone in a snap of a finger. It’s no wonder we can’t enjoy it.

    Rat’s “present” explains why he’s so “pleasant”.

    The present is the current which is why it’s so shocking.

    I got a sweater, it wasn’t ugly, but it kept picking up static electricity. So I decided to return it to the store. They gave me a new one, free of charge.

    I don’t like sweaters very much. They’re kinda itchy.

    Look for the positive. Ugly sweaters still make good cat beds.

    Good Morning Steph, that is very funny but sadly this is true for millions of people in the world today thanks to idiots like Putin, our only hope is that some very brave person will gladly give him what he deserves!!!!

    There should be a story arc explaining how Rat became the cynical jerk that he is today.

    And sadly someone made ugly sweatewrs the in thing to wear at Christmas time. WHY!!!!!! There’s a reason they are buried in drawers the rest of the year (and used to be gotten rid of so they were never worn at Christmas, though now most of us seem too embarassed to donate them least we be caught with something so ugly as to be labeled because of it).
