Jan 19 2010Party Rat Finger Lights For Night Blogging
Party Rats are little light-emitting rings in the shape of rats you wear when you're high on ecstasy at a rave and want to impress the girl with the candy necklace on. Just remember: spirit fingers!!
What? You haven't heard of Party Rats! You're kidding, right? They're the best thing to happen to partying since the mirror ball. People of all ages are putting these colorful, plastic, rodent lights on their fingers and waving their hands in the air like they just don't care. Each 1-3/4" long rat sends out a different colored beam of light, allowing you to create your own personal light show! Also great for the latest computer craze, night blogging!
Ah, yes, night blogging. And a guy who's no stranger to sitting at his computer all hours of the night with his pants around his ankles....SHUT UP THAT'S HOW I DO IT, OKAY?! Don't question my creative process. Also, one time I bit through a glowstick and didn't know until the tube was empty. Yeah, my urine glowed.
Thanks to Nathan, who had actual lasers implanted in the tips of his fingers and is blind in one eye from rubbing it. You gotta think before you act, Nathan.

why rats? are they known to party?
2. LSDiesel - January 19, 2010 11:11 AM
@1, I was thinking something similar. Out of all the things you could put on your fingers, why rats?

I was just on ebay looking at some lasers and saw these advertised as "lasers". in all honesty they would be SO much cooler if they were lasers. Like wolverines hand had some lovin' with supermans eyes.

Is raving seriously still a thing? Kids are idiots. Rats?! OK.
5. michelle - January 19, 2010 11:27 AM

Party rats for blogging? That's an insult! Blogging is serious business. What night blogging needs is the Light-emitting Rat of Professionalism. Also coffee.

Using these to masturbate is like getting a hand job from "Rainbow Brite"....... just sayin
FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP, then PEW PEW (baby batter rainbows)

Wow...
These have been available for YEARS AND YEARS already. Hell every gas station and convenience store withing 20 miles of my home or work has a bucket of these little finger flashlights that sell for $1 each.
GW, bringing us the latest in 1990's technology...

These may have been fun 12 or 13 years ago, back when I was a E-tard!!

What? You haven't heard that authentic raving died in 1995! You're kidding, right? My parents met at a rave! My grandparents met at Woodstock! What the fuq is a mirror ball?! If people of all ages are doing it, it's lame. Gtfo. The latest "craze" is not using phrases like "the latest craze" (1954) unless yr alzheimer. But gee wiz, I'm commenting like I "just don't care" (1971).

Combine this with the Blu-Ray phaser and you're golden.
15. GiNa - January 19, 2010 11:55 AM
I think they call em RATS because they kind of look like little rats. But still no excuse, they are dumb, and I agree with everyone else, raves died in the 90's.
16. om3ga - January 19, 2010 12:03 PM
raves = ecstasy ...
as long as there are pills, there will be raves ...
raving is a religion to some, the worship of music, sex & the E pill ...
17. STOMPY - January 19, 2010 12:15 PM
wow, and to think i've been night bloggin all this time without lights on my fingers.... man i feel like an ass now....
18. Closet Nerd - January 19, 2010 12:32 PM
@17 What do you mean "NOW"?
19. Dishy Dishyington - January 19, 2010 12:32 PM

20. Pat - January 19, 2010 12:44 PM
Even better than emergency glowsticks. ::starts humming "Sandstorm"::
21. whaddawho? - January 19, 2010 12:46 PM
i wonder how strong the light is? at least decent enough to do some light writing?
22. JADE - January 19, 2010 12:49 PM
@ 12 Ha your stupid. lmao
23. Heather - January 19, 2010 12:54 PM
We sell them for a 1 for five at party packagers (CANADIAN).
We've had them for at least 5 years but they are just called mice flashlights.
24. M_D - January 19, 2010 1:09 PM
i got some of these finger lights for last christmas(08) and they were pretty handy, but mine were just the normal shaped lights though
25. Roo - January 19, 2010 1:47 PM
I'm callin' you out on this one, GW writer. I live in Japan, and if I check during my daytime there's never anything new. Up all hours of the night my ass. I'm just sayin'...BECAUSE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER PEOPLE LIVING IN JAPAN AND POST AT NIGHT.
26. atheistgirl - January 19, 2010 2:13 PM
Wouldn't it be easier to 'night blog' if you, I don't know, turned the light on.
'Night blogging'...is that a euphemism?
27. ciao - January 19, 2010 2:26 PM
but the concept of the product is that these are colorful rats that shoot lazor beams from their eyes and you tie them on to your fingers....sounds silly, and awesome like bacon chocolate bars.
28. f - January 19, 2010 2:47 PM
Everyone wears these at the raves in Chi-Town. You have to wear a white glove over them though. It's actually most of the time some fat sweaty guy who just doesn't want to dance. These things suck unless you're rolling really hard...no wait they still suck.
29. michelle - January 19, 2010 5:50 PM
@22 I hope you said "your" instead of "you're" to make some kind of point.

Specifically created to break into the "late night rave bloggers" clique that for some reason everyone is ignoring....

Contact my office immediately. You have cases pending against you. Ignoring this matter will further damage your situation.

Durr. These things were invented a while ago. I work at a movie theater and they sell in the vending machine thing for 50-75 cents.
