Name our huge rat
12
Ain't it cute?
The rats name was asked about over on the Mediocre Forums, and we figured that since the rat came from the community they should name it too.
I like Master Splinter but it's not too fitting for a lab rat. Splinter wouldn't take that shit and would spin kick any scientist that tried to experiment on him in the head.
Anyway…suggest some names, vote on your favorites and we'll pick the top 10 or so to vote on again later and officially dub the rat whatever you decide. Maybe I'll even make a little hat with its name on it.

Rat Muttledge?
this please.
As a fellow Matt, I felt a little bad about suggesting this. Not bad enough, obviously. But a little.
Just need to point out that this would = Rat, the Rat.
@Thumperchick You say that like it's a bad thing
Maybe it should be Ratt Muttledge?
I brought a banana for scale but got really hungry in the car and ate it on the way here, so I had to use the peel:
holy hell that's a giant rat! or a very very very tiny banana.
that's what she said
Thank you @katylava; for making the joke I talked myself out of.
Hey, what's that on the wall above the rat's other ear? I see a small grey spot. Does your rat have fleas or sumthin?
@bluedog that's a screw, there's another on the other side which is what I hung the banana peel on.
@JonT: Ahhhh...okay. I'll wait for @kaylava to make the inevitable joke about screwing the rat with your banana.
"Preston" - Jeff Bezos' middle name.
I was going to vote for that and then I thought I couldn't do that to a rat.
We could call him Pack Rat but our shipping sucks so....well maybe that fits then. meh.
I kind of like Pack Rat because I used to play a game online by that name and its original developers were all in Carrollton. After a few...
Successful years, they tired of the project and sold it to someone else who seems to have ruined it. Fitting.

Nah, we like this rat. Butters would be more endearing. And he can share the good news about the DMV.
I had a few rats as pets growing up, and I loved them all. The first 3 I had were named Max, Max II, and Max III because I was a kid and had no creativity - though the last one was officially named Maximus Esquire III (the third).
I also had a rat named Scout, and I inherited a pair named Fender and Toaster.
Great pets.
Nice, I had gerbils. I named the first one Cujo, when he died the next one was Cujo Jr. (he only had three legs!). Never saw the movie
WHAT? You missed the opportunity to call the third one Max: Beyond Thunderdome?
Rutherford. After Rutherford B. Hayes, the "meh" of US Presidents.
its not that I don't have an opinion but every name I could think is alre this post above.
the only thing I could think to add is Silent Bob.

middelmådig -- it's Norwegian for mediocre. I'm pretty sure it's a Norwegian rat anyway, so it's suiting.
I don't know why but he looks like a Wilbur

I wanted this where someone would actually see it:
♫ He lives on the wall
He's a rat with no name
He'll never live down the shame
No one remembers
The rat with no name
Cuz if you got no name
No one remembers your pain

(Could name him Horse, since the horse in this song has no name, it would be kind of mehta.)
I had a rat named Splinter. Son named him. He was a good rat.
I had a rat named Basil from Faulty Towers. He was a good rat.
I vote for one of those.

Scrotum - I just made this word up. It sounds very intellectual and lends itself to someone who is very deep and philosophical. I will now post and then check to see if this word already exists.

I asked the cats. Their overwhelming choice is "Dinner".
@lisaviolet Based on the picture with the banana, maybe they should start with a capybara and work their way up.
Rocky can take it and he'll share. He's a pretty big cat as you can see by the photo I've included.
Regis. Meaning royal. Because of 'rat kings', one of nature's most mysterious and disturbing phenomena. Won't post pic here because pretty gross, but there's pics on Google Images for the morbidly curious.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king_(folklore) May or may not be a hoax. I also like Regis.

He's an attorney rat?
No. Just a title of respect. I dislike that lawyers have claimed this term as their own.
Bill S Preston wasn't a lawyer, but he was an Esquire.
