I just got back from Hawaii where I hunted rats.

When you are hunting rats you need to get into their little pea-sized brains. You need to think like the rat and become the rat.

I went deep man. I stripped off my clothes and covered my body in camo. I buried myself in the jungle and was silent. My breathing blended into the sounds of the night. Pretty soon I could feel the rat without even opening my eyes.

They were dead meat. We dropped a line of napalm on their hideout and incinerated them.

I’m a union organizer and this is the same way we treat employers. They are all rats when it comes to their workers.

Anyway, my friend the Aloha Viking has mad skills when it comes to rat hunting. I learned my techniques from him, so this post is dedicated to him and my little luchador friends in Hawaii.

Finally, we got to listen to a lot of Waylon Jennings in paradise, so this post features some of the great men of country music. I’m glad to know that the Aloha Viking is still on the line.
