Wharf Rat?

You are an older gentleman, right? Some interesting stuff. You sound like you've lived an eventful life.

My oldest friend ,Bob lives in Fredericton, NB - the Capital City "The City of Elms" and he is very successful in his business endeavours.He's a millionaire because of very hard work.He owns a number of Dairy Queens in Fredericton and Saint John.

When Bob introduces me to anyone he usually gets to "this is my very BEST friend Eddie", and he's lived three lives.

I have lived a very interesting life.

Wharf Rat?

Very cool. That works.

Lots of those in Saint John as it is a Port. Not so much now, as it once was a thriving Winter port, but all the same a natural fresh water port at the mouth of the Saint Jon River also called "the Rhine of North America".

What about "'OUR Team' Rat"?

Your a nice young man.

I often wondered why I just got married and did the normal life, as I had a gift and tossed it away. The gift of hand speed.

Hey, I think Nutz has that same gift, and is also a tosser.

Can't be a Family man and a boxer Scott.

Ramblin' Rat? You've had a lot go on.

Not really a Ramblin' Man Ziggy. Pretty stable - solid with many close friends. I try to treat people with respect but I'm straight up too. That reaps benefits overall.

Must get to bed. Big day tomorrow.

Later PACKERRATS.

This thing with regard to a RAT name is interesting. When we are born OUR parents name us. As parents we take that proposition very seriously, as the child will have to carry that name all his and her life. I love my daughter's names. Janice Kirsten (The Days of Wine and Roses - Kirsten was played by Lee Remmick her husband Jack Lemmon - good book and movie), Carly Nadine (after Carly Simon) and Ashley Megan (the Thornebirds).

Now I'll admit something else to y'all. I hate rats. Both sets of Grand Parents were farmers. So there were barns on the properties. Barns can't have rats or they will ruin the cow and horse feed.

See a rat - kill a rat.

Growing up - to ever be called a rat, was not a good thing.You always had to be cool. Keep your shit (that - between you and the boys - to yourself). That was deemed "the Code". I was the leader of my gang and we were mostly jocks and really into all sports and of course GIRLS. I grew up in my teens, in a fabulous place - called Rockwood Court. It was nicknamed "Little Chicago". It had a population of about 2500.

Lots of kids to grow with. An outstanding playing field (ball-soccer-football-golf driving range-hockey and skating rinks in the winter).A great clubhouse. A gym with a boxing ring. That's where I met former Canadian Bantam Weight Champion Jackey Burke. That fella was 10 years older than I was and he couldn't field a ground ball but man could he ever GO. He taught me alot about boxing.

Very handy was the Saint John Public Gardens and Mountains to climb and the biggest City Nature Park in Canada (it's huge), Rockwood Park, with alot of clean lakes to swim and fish in, and to have a ton of fun in.

That's where I met Bob in 1957. Bob is also a Packer fan but not with the dedication that I have. I have several friends in Saint John that are solid Packer fans. One of them also is a Pat's fan,mmmmm. Don't know about that. Can't really trust that.That's like being in a poker game with double the chips of all others at the table. Slippery bugger. LOL.

So I researched RATS before this post .Very interesting. But. . .I hate them.

I have to chose something (not nice) I'm getting - right !?? mmmmm

Barn Rat and Wharf Rat are sorta neutral not good not bad. I want to find something really unique and very much on "the Dark Side" or a few selections for " the Rotten Rat Name Committee" - to gleen.

Researching rats now.

How about Undecided Rat?

[woodbuck27]

How about Undecided Rat?

How about Tritt Rat or Outlaw Rat?

I love "the Outlaws" Willie, Waylon ,Kris and the new breed - Hank Jr. and I dig Travis Tritt.

So I would be honored with "the PACKERRAT name" - Outlaw Rat. . .

in honor of my Country Bad Ass Gents that I love to listen to. I really like George Jones also, but those Outlaws. . .mmmmm,

Heeeeeeehaaaaa !!

This thread cannot die without a Rat Name being chosen.

What's it gonna be Woodbuck?

[Scott Campbell]

I have to chose something (not nice) I'm getting - right !?? mmmmm

Indecisive Rat

[AtlPackFan]

Hoser Rat

How about "Took Rat", "Back Bacon Rat" or "Northern Exposure Rat"

Actually, I like "Neufie Rat"

Pardon my ignorance, but you can tell I'm new around here...

Any rules to getting a rat name? I assume a mod has to change it...?

Who are the mods here, anyway?

Thanks.

It's just Mad's way of strokin' his own ego. He gets to set the nickname, and he thinks it's funny to stick somebody with something like "Trailer Rat". It started out that you get one after a certain amount of posts, but I don't know if that's the case anymore.

Thanks for the info Harvey.
