The Rat Pack

 Technically, it is National Pack Rat Day. But I couldn't resist joining my buddies in the Rat Pack (though they left my name off from the Sands reader board).  I suppose I would more appropriately be part of a groups called the Pack Rats.

I pulled out all the stops (and every design related to rats that I could find). The Hoard Sweet Hoard design just came to me today.

I was thinking of my brother when I came up with it. I view myself as less of a hoarder and more of a collector. And at least I try and turn over my hoard on a regular basis on eBay. Aren't hoarders technically supposed to not be able to let go of anything?

No one on Blue Sky seems to have acknowleged by Pack Rat video.  I was thinking today that perhaps instead of trying to sell my ideas as t-shirt designs I should just think of them as cartoons and featur a new one each day. Maybe then I could even sell ads on my blog and capitalize on the hoards of people who visit my blog. I wonder if Bots buy things from ads?

It was also National Idaho Day. I learned from TikTok the other day that Idaho was a named made up by an Idaho politician when they were trying to become a state. He told the Feds that Idaho was a Shoshone word that meant Gem of the Mountains. It was actually something he pulled out of his ass.  So the state is named after a lie. We all know that Idaho really is a Shoshone word for Famous Potatoes anyway.

I posted this t-shirt design in honor of my birth state anyway.

Manley's was an iconic cafe in Boise that was famous for major portions of fried chicken and pie ala mode. My parents always called it Manley's Rose Garden because it used to have roses growing around it. I ate there once as a kid and it was basically a dive. But it was an iconic dive, one you might find in a state named after a politician's BS.

Rats.
