Congratulations Bat Herder!



Guano, or “bat milk” as some might call it, is fast coming in to high demand with molecular gastronomy enthusiasts and rich idiots in general.  Assholes have been serving it up and wolfing it down from the upper west side of Manhattan to the lower east side of Manhattan, paying as much as fifty dollars for a plate of bat shit enriched with some weird fucking stuff that literally kills the bats that eat it.

People will pay bank for things that make them violently ill, so long as those things are hard to come by.  And you, enterprising young person you are, are going to try your damnedest to make a living selling these idiots the shit they so monomaniacally crave.

Today you’re going to open up Manhattan’s first Bat Farm.  Taking the title “Lead Bat Herder,” you’ll trap hundreds of bats in an old closed off subway tunnel and feed them toxic chemicals and slimes of questionable nutritional value until they begin to drop dead within the tunnel. Then you’ll clean the floor once a day and serve the mix of bat excrement and corpse to various rich idiots who will line up for blocks to buy it.

Within a day and a half, you’ll have killed nearly three dozen bats and harvested almost three thousand dollars in bat shit.  And, following your first sale, two days from now, you’ll be indicted for reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.  Your profit-mongering business model will kill ninety percent of your clientele and the remaining few will also open up civil suits against you for medical and psychological damages.

When word gets to you in your underground lair which, for copyright reasons, cannot be called The Bat Cave although that would be perfect, you’ll immediately prepare to flee.  But not before you write out a long, poorly worded letter blaming the various woes that have befallen you on Obama who, as we all know, has the power to communicate with all flying creatures, bats more than any other.

Congratulations Bat Herder!
