I Don't Give A Rat's Ass!!!

[Taffi Abernathy]

I've been contemplating the following question and hope you can shed some light on this issue: Does a rat have a true "rear end" replete with rodent gluteal muscles or merely a "rectal vault" minus the padding? (I'm a little bored, can you tell?)

I've dissected them and the answer is, yes, there is smooth muscle tissue there !

' ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE "RAT'S ASS"
'''''''''''''During the middle ages, rats were responsible for the transfer of fleas that carried the deadly BLACK PLAGUE. A bounty was placed upon each rat that was caught. Since it was not necessary to produce the entire rat as proof of capture, the rat's hind quarters were cut from the body - leaving only the tail and the "ass". The amount paid by the local governments were so low however, they were almost worthless. Hence the phrase - "not worth a rat's ass."'''''''''R>''''

I used to have those kinds of thoughts back in the 60's.

Another enlighening thread!

This year as part of our lab practical for Bio II, we had to identify certain anatomical structures of a rat using a diagram. Since the Gluteus Maximus was one of them, I'm going to go ahead and say a rat has an ass .

Identify the following muscles:

1. Biceps brachii - located on the anterior surface of the humerus. Action: flexes lower arm
2. Triceps brachii - located on the sides and back of the upper arm. Action: extends lower arm
3. Spinotrapezius - located across the dorsal thoracic region of the rat. Action: moves scapula up and backward
4. Latissimus dorsi - located posterior (and partially covered) by the spinotrapezius. | Action: moves the humerus
5. Biceps femoris - located on the side of the thigh, in two bundles. Action: flexes the lower leg
6. Tibialis Anterior - located on the front of the leg. Action: flexes foot
7. Gastrocnemius - located on lower leg, bulk of the calf muscle. Attaches to heel by the Achilles Tendon. Action: extends the foot
8. External Oblique - located on the sides of the abdomen.Action: flexes body wall.
9. Gluteus Maximus - located on the lower back and rear. Action: extends the thigh at the hip
10. Pectoralis Major/Minor - located in chest area. Action: adducts arm (draws it forward)

Faith, we gotta find you a real man. If you are to the point of contemplating questions such as this, things are getting critical!

Alas,if only I were single and a little smarter ...

[Safetrends]

We could change it to:

I do not give a Leo's Ass!

Then it would be a true statement since he has a Ass at his house.


:justkidd i I have a smart Ass.

Look what you've started now Taffi ! Ha ha !

(I'm a little bored, can you tell?)

Perhaps you need a date.
Any Seiko fans out there?

And then we have my little friend:

I think what you may have really meant was "Are there any pasta-slurping, walletless, Seiko fans out there who fail to demonstrate a modicum of courtesy by not holding car doors open?"

What I meant was what was posted.

If a hamster count's as a rat, I don't think they have butts.....

Faith, you do need to find a "James Bond" type, to open the car door.

You've got me wondering what a rats ass really is...

My requirements are few - a pulse and a wallet (and I'm willing to accept a faint pulse as long as there is enough upper body strength to open a car door).

There has to be something else.... You like humor, but enjoy quiet time. You read books, but enjoy to chat with new people.

You seem to be comfortable where you are in life, but enjoy the idea of a companion.

I could see you with a mild manered 37 year old. He would have a good paying job. More like a number cruncher for a business, or statistics guru with responsability. He can't overpower your personality, but you would respect him for being nice.

Maybe a guy who goes with you to places, more than him taking you with him. I could see you being the more outgoing of the two. He'd let you drive the car, but wouldn't let you touch the gas pump at the fuel station.

I guess I could picture a guy with a short beard, and matching sweater posing in your avitar. You know..The guy who goes to bed at 10:00. The dude I see helping pick out paint for the livingroom.. The quiet, smart type.

I have the right man for Faith, she can analize him all she wants:

While I appreciate my homies (cyber matchmakers) efforts, could we please get back to the topic at hand, rodent rectums?

[dalip]

My cat likes to chew on them...
