Well, you said that you didn't like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If you don't like them, then I thought maybe you might like some green eggs and ham instead.

Oh, that explains it....but what does Green eggs and ham have to do with it?

I thought maybe green eggs and ham would be tastier than a member of an orchestra, at least from a bear's point of view.

That was a very good episode.

Rat Attack: NYC seeks hands-on leader in anti-rodent fight | AP News

This has got to be someone's dream job.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hate rats? Are you a “somewhat bloodthirsty” New Yorker with excellent communication skills and “a general aura of badassery”? Then you might have what it takes to be the city’s new rat czar.

Mayor Eric Adams’ administration posted a job listing this week seeking someone to lead the city’s long-running battle against rats. The official job title is “director of rodent mitigation,” although it was promptly dubbed the rat czar. Salary range is $120,000 to $170,000.

“The ideal candidate is highly motivated and somewhat bloodthirsty, determined to look at all solutions from various angles, including improving operational efficiency, data collection, technology innovation, trash management, and wholesale slaughter,” reads that ad.

The posting is whimsical, but the job is daunting.

New York City leaders have been trying to control the rodent population for generations, with mixed results. Sightings of rats in parks, sidewalks and other places in the city have recently increased.

City rats have survived a multimillion-dollar effort under former Mayor Bill de Blasio that focused on more trash pickups and better housing inspections in targeted neighborhoods. The city also launched a program to use dry ice to suffocate rats in their hiding spots.

Adams, when he was borough president of Brooklyn, once demonstrated a trap that used a bucket filled with a toxic soup to drown rats lured by the scent of food.

Now, the Adams’ administration is looking for a top rat bureaucrat to become the public face of the city’s eradication and education efforts.

“Cunning, voracious, and prolific, New York City’s rats are legendary for their survival skills, but they don’t run this city – we do,” claimed the posting.

Applicants are expected to have a crafty sense of humor and “to lead from the front, using hands-on techniques to exterminate rodents with authority and efficiency.”

That was a very good episode.

The episodes that center on Riley are some of the best.

I think I might try to sue the IRS. Yes, I have devoted years to ensuring I don't owe them, making that a top priority of deductions and allowances, I won't ever deny that history of me, but their tax rate for single vs married filers actually discriminates against many amd punishes us for being handicapped in ways that makes forming social relationships especially difficult.

I like Huey. Admittedly comic Huey is too conspiracy nutters for my liking, but TV Huey, he's just very informed for a 10 year old and more responsible with his cynicism and pessimism than most.
But I can be much the same way so I have a very high resistance against that urge to grab a pipe or bat to beat yourself with that he can do to people who have seen more sunshine and rainbows in their life.
