The rat was borrowed from Local 79, an AFL-CIO laborers’ union, and commuted in from Queens.
I think it's a NY thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How do rats commute, anyway?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, that specific one is, but I was wondering if local unions other places have something similar.
And actually, I think Local 79 is across the street from where I live! We could have commuted together, me and the rat.

There's more than one rat in NYC now - I think the original one was starting to look a little shabby.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I know there are at least two versions, big rat and small rat.
I hope the Rock Center one is the big rat.

Ms. Sherman-Palladino continued, “I was telling my husband” — Daniel Pallidino, her writing partner on the new Fox show and on “Gilmore Girls,” and a fellow picketer — “that we need some new and better chants, but he reminded me: ‘No writing. None.’ ”
Hee.
