So anyway, we moved to DeQuincy Avenue to a rental house and that is when I got some payback against the dirty rats.
Ah, that was the big change there. The new Kerry, you sons-of-bitches wall-scratching rodents. You met you match now. Now I got a BB gun.
In the back room of that house is where the garbage was stored until the trucks carried it off. At some point I discovered a hole in the floor where the rats would come up from beneath the house to go for the garbage.
I would sit there for hours and wait for the sorry little bastards to raise their heads from the hole and I would shoot them with my BB gun. After a couple times, I was dissatisfied with that approach because I would either miss or they would see me and drop back in the hole without getting shot.
I wanted to cut notches in the wood of my BB gun for confirmed kills.
So that's when I got patient. I would wait for the little bastards to crawl all the way out of the hole and onto the floor and they would get hit by a copper ball bearing projectile from my air rifle. One time, I hit one but didn't kill and it ran towards me and into the bags of trash behind me and I had kick things out of the way so I could stomp it to death as it scurried around the room trying to find an escape.
After a while I starting leaving pieces of cheese next to the hole to bait them out so I could shoot them with my BB gun. I had quite a few notches cut into the wood of the shoulder stock.

What are people doing there today? Business as usual.
They don't celebrate VA Day.
- Really? - Hmm.
I thought the [Fuhrer] made them honorary Aryans.
It doesn't mean they value their people, Joe.
Here the worker is honored, not a means to an end.
There's a great deal to admire about the Japanese, Joe, not least their work ethic.
There's no shortage of admiration as far as your concerned, Rudolph.
I simply agree with the Führer.
Continued peaceful relations with Tokyo is in everybody's interest.
You have a family now, John.
Surely you agree that we must do whatever it takes to avoid war.
Perhaps.
Some wars are necessary.
We fought in one.
And you still believe that everything we did back then was necessary? You wait till you see Berlin, Joe.
The scale of You know what nobody talks about on VA Day
