The new boyz: "The Greys"

[adoptaratcanada]

Here's some pics of the new ratboyz! Sorry I've been AWOL...was trying to get the place ready for them, and now that they are settled in a few days, I can pull myself away from the cage!! LOL

Tiny bit of repetition from another thread, by way of background: before I got them and was told they are all grey (there wasn't a pic online) my brain got to thinking "The Greys" as in Grey Aliens, so was thinking of going with a movie alien theme, but "Ro-Man" (as in "from Mars") just didn't have a ring to it. I decided on "Earl Grey" and because I couldn't get the Grey Alien thing out of my head, ended up with "Thor", the Grey Alien/Asgard from Stargate (dang, I've forgotten again how to make text a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asgard_(Stargate) --also from my preview I see it wants to "de-link" the "stargate" part of the URL that is in brackets. If you feel the need to check it out, you might have to copy and paste that link).

I wasn't intending to go with yet another sci-fi theme, but apparently I just can't help myself! I couldn't think of a name for the middle child, then remembered The Grey Council, from Babylon 5. There was a character (who was in it briefly, but memorably) called Dukhat, so "Dukhat" it is!

Not that I've ever accused myself of convoluted thinking

"Earl Grey" is slightly bigger (they're brothers) but I've had a heck of a time trying to tell the other two apart. I think I've got it straight now.


Just Arrived Home!





Inspecting the new digs. I have to "warm" it up some more. At least one of them has finally figured out what the hammock is for!





Lower the drawbridge!!

"Earl Grey". I must name one someday "Lapsang Souchong" (my fave).

You could call one Hagenbeck - the current superintendent of the USMA (West Point) - The Long Grey Line. Lt. Gen. Hagenbeck.

You could call one Peck, after Gregory Peck in his hit movie, "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit".

Were those convoluted and esoteric enough?

You got new rats; Katie got a new dog (other thread).

Where'd you get yours?

Only notable rat event here is Telly is a lot more confident. Max remains huge.

What is it? Mine love vanilla Ensure.

One time Kahini disappeared briefly - I had left open a small food gate, and out she went as I got some eats.

Congrats on your boyz, Linda! Cute faces!

Lapsang Souchong--the best! Haven't had it in ages, though, because I've gotten away from caffeinated tea.

I once heard actor, adventurer and writer, Sterling Hayden, on the Tom Snyder show. This was his best interview ever. Anyway, Hayden, spoke of that tea, LS, but he added vodka. I tried it and loved it, sans vodka, iced with lime. Very hard to find, though, even in sections with other varieties of Twinning's teas.
