The Ratt would like to extend a hearty Wave of the Stringy Tail to Keel-haulers' webmeister John Kobak, who beta-tested this site. An invaluable resource, he is a Master Beta-tester!

Whoa. The Ratt Hole has changed.
In particular: the external lynx have moved to a new Lynx Page. Click there if you want to see paddling clubs, personal paddling pages, all the AW lynx fit to surf, WW gages, and the other goofball lynx that you've come to expect from your fave paddling website!

Please be patient while we update the Ratt Hole. Some of the photo lynx don't work for now, as we're reorganizing our gallery. The lynx will be back when we're good and ready, dammit.

And let me tell you: they were tasty. If you want to see the incriminating evidence against one of the nefarious nabobs of napping, click here for some info, derived from one of the ransom notes!

Okay, it’s not a rat; but it is a critter (thanks to Ken S. for pointing out that it’s a marsupial, not a rodent [duh]), and the Possum King would approve. I received this photo under the heading, “not my job.” Jim Hill of Bay Minette, AL, says “I first saw this photo in the Mobile Press-Register a couple of years ago.  The newspaper also cleverly printed t-shirts with the armadillo logo and the caption: ‘Damn the armadilloes--full speed ahead!’” (I still think it’s a possum.) If you know of an earlier sighting of this photo, please let me know. A shake of the Ratt Tail to Keith Gross for this design.
