A bashing good deal

You know it if you've traveled the 101 east toward Downtown: The most gloriously weird and inspired sign in Los Angeles, Western Exterminator's Coral neon lettering and a long string of neon sometimes-dancing yellow rats. And Western Exterminator's rat-basher gentleman (you know, the guy who is scolding the vermin with a mallet hidden behind his back) is pretty well-known, too.

Well, now there’s a Western Exterminator little-man figure on auction at Ebay for the next few days. Opening bid: $399 gets you in the door... You could fumigate your basement for that!
