Yuck - hate rats - had one recently make me yelp like a schoolgirl when I went to light the BBQ - though I'm guessing ratty was just a startled when the propane went WOOF as it does and singed his keister.

Joe......save 'em for someone whose name starts with a big T

Well , that would be a waste of humor..

..... Hey how big did the bump get, did any marbles fall out? Can i get a picture for my scrap book..

Oh, was it a rat? Mike didn't specify - he just said 'rodent'. I thought possibly a capybara

Or perhaps a Mastacomys fuscus

I just had my own similar but not quite as dramatic episode. Tonight I went out to light up the grill but there is no 'wush', it does not start up. Is the fuel tank empty? So I open the lid and below the grill is something brown that is moving, so a rat then jumps out the bottom of the grill and then either under the deck/house or out into the yard. I was really glad at that point the tank was empty as I would not want 'Rat Flambé' running under the house.'

Well, you could have had Rat au Vin.

I'd have a broken arm to go with it!

Joe.... WHAT was Mastacomys going to do to us?
Oh, now I read it more closely.........

I see it's now listed as endangered, and they added mordicus to the name.
