Whenever I see the Round-Eared Rat, I can't help but think of Uncle Mickee 
from HOL.  For those of you who haven't witnessed HOL's horrific 
brilliance, Uncle Mickee is a cross between Mickey Mouse, Edward 
Scissorhands and the eponymous Alien (but much, much meaner), with a 
hypodermic syringe tail-stinger.

Heh.  A UA-HOL crossover -- now that'd be sunnat to see. #%o)
