Tonight’s season finale of “Hoarders” features a man named Glen who has a hoard of rats. From a skin-crawling press release (with bonus skin-crawling video below):
Glen has a collection of 2500 [!!!! -Ed.] free-roaming rats which have hoarded him out of his home and into a shed on his property. Originally bred as pets, the rat collection spun out of control upon the death of his wife.
Glen in a separate preview for the episode:
“I readily admit that I have way too many rats.”
Umm, yeah. That’s generally a safe statement when your rat infestation forces you to abandon your house and move into a shed. “Well, six hundred rats wasn’t too many, but ever since they took over the house, I could probably stand to get rid of a few of them.”
The rats really tie the room together.

I hope a big one named Ben takes his revenge.

The saddest part of the story is that the intern who counted the rats later was found to have hoarded the abacuses he used in the process. It’s a vicious cycle.
“I readily admit that I have way too many rats.”
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

TMDGOGA, Henry Jones will not set foot in that dump, Junior!
Werner Herzog may want to get in touch with him for his Nosferatu sequel.
