South Park Rat: Dead, Sleeping or Stoned?

While on a leisurely lunch break in picturesque South Park, I stumbled across a pair of lunchers who were hunched over this little guy. The man murmured, "Hello, rat, are you sleeping?" while his female companion adjusted her giant sunglasses and harumphed, "He's probably dead!"

This seemed to settle the argument and after they sauntered away I proceeded to give the maybe-corpse the paparazzi treatment.

Is it possible this little guy expired from the oppressive heat wave that's settled over the city? Are our rats really so delicate? Or is he, as the cup-half-full observer speculated, just napping? Or...is he just stoned?

More adorable portraits of the probably dead rat after the jump.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
