Rats in Space

A few weeks ago a I got super stoney from eating some hash chocolate with a few friends. Now I usually don't really partake-not to say i'm against it-I just don't because of the pure stoneyness factor. Anyways, this was some wavy gravy style hash chocolate becuase I was just lit. I felt.......... pure amazingness. We then got it in our heads that we would call all the video stores in SF and ask about a certain movie and if they had it.

...ring.....ring.....
Me: Hello do you have that one movie with the........rat in it?
Store: Rat, hmmn? Ratatouille? Fivel Goes West? Despereaux?
Me: No, none of those.
Store: Can you elaborate?
Me: You know the movie with the rat in it where they go to space starring Tom Hanks.
Store: Tom Hanks? Apollo 13? Is this live action or a cartoon?
Me: It's definately live action. It co-stars Samuel L. Jackson.
Store:Is this a prank? (At this point i usually lost it and had to hang up)

I don't remember exactly what stores we called, but I do remember that Lost Weekend definately did not play along.

In the end, it makes me think back to when I was in middle school and a prank call was just a part of growing up in a small town, having nothing much to do and being a boy. This is of course pre nudie mags, cigars in the creek,loud music and baggy pants.

Here is my drawing for the cover of "Rats in Space"
