What is setting off my remote-controlled rat?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Ratty is a large, hideous gray rat on wheels who takes part in our Halloween decorations and has stimulated entertaining reactions on the part of our dogs.

Ratty moves forward or spins in a circle depending on how you operate the buttons on his handset.

However, occasionally Ratty moves without anyone touching his controls. For instance, I was eating breakfast this morning when Ratty suddenly jumped forward about six inches on the dining room table in front of me (in the past, he has mysteriously careened off a table or scuttled ahead on the floor).

What has gotten into Ratty? Is he warning us of an intrusion into our Wi-Fi hot spot? Does the new iPhone 6 inadvertently trigger remote-controlled rodent activity? Is Ratty taking on independent life of his own? :eek: Help!!!

Maybe some eCheese?

3

Whatever you do, don’t give it launch codes.

4

Was your house built over an old burial ground?

5

Is Ratty radio controlled or is it an infra-red transceiver? If it’s the latter, I suppose that a TV remote control might also affect it.

6

Do you know if one of your neighbors has a remote-controlled cat?

7

I’ve seen Ratty on Youtube scaring women. It appears to be RF controlled, of which there are a lot of transient signals floating around everywhere.

8

Someone’s garage door opener?

9

Fluorescent lights have been known to interfere with IR remotes/receivers.

10

A dancing coke can?

11

Well, it’s not our TV remote or garage door opener. Maybe the unexplained motion is due to HAARP or chemtrails.

Will keep the board posted on future events.

It is likely the Ghost of Posts Past, with advice from Present and Future.

I want 7 cheeseburgers and a tuna fish sandwich (no pickles on the tuna fish) placed into a Chippewa Boot box (size 12) and left in a green Marshall Fields bag beneath the 3rd “O” of the Hollywood sign on Mount Lee or I might not be able to restrain Barry (that’s his real name. He hates it when you call him Ratty) THE NEXT TIME. Capiche?

I believe that this is the most tempting thread title that I have ever seen.
