R.O.U.S.'s? I don't believe they exist.

Sarah and I can attest that "Rodents of Unusual Size" DO exist, and not only in the Fire Swamp. Last night, as we were eating dinner, we noticed this huge "thing" chewing into our garbage sack that we had placed outside the back door. It looked like a mix of a rat, beaver, & groundhog all in one. Except that it was HUGE. It was like a medium sized dog, only fat & with a much lower center of gravity. It had gnawed through the garbage bag and was chewing on some leftover ribs. It got scared away when we went to the window, but was back 5 min later. This time I banged on the door and it scampered off, and, I swear, it ran exactly like the R.O.U.S. from the fire swamp. It even had the same patchy looking back. To be sure, I ran upstairs, put on my shoes, and got ready for battle before I went outside to clean up. I only wish I had a sword like Wesley, but I went out fearlessly with my grass clippers and prepared for the worst. No R.O.U.S. this time, but I know he's out there, and I know he likes ribs.

I saw this quote today, & I find myself shooting for all three too often:
