Glenn said he would never draw more rats in another book. This is the world record.

I would think so.

I am not familiar with this book so I ask... are there 2 title pages in this book? Since in the listing I see what looks like 2 title pages with rats on them.

how come you did not make this one end at 0900 PST on the 23rd (instead of after 1324)? That might have made it a bit more interesting

To have much more he'd have had to have drawn rats running across the page edges like a flip book. LOL

Wow, what a fantastic idea. There's always next year?

A rat running along, getting killed and then putrefying has my vote :D

I'm pretty sure if someone held that up to an infinity mirror the world would implode, so be careful with it.

Very cool item. The pages with just one or a few rats on them I find most appealing though. They remind me of the simplicity of the Mark Geyer mouse remarque on The Green Mile. Very much to the point, yet creepy at the same time.

I made Glenn swear, on a stack of Stephen King books, that this "Ultimate Rat" remarque will be exclusive to the Haven Fund and the total never bested!!!! So, if we do something like this next year it will not have as many rats. Not even close. If you want the bragging rights to the "Ultimate Rat Remarque" in FD/NS, I suggest you bid and win this item!!!!

Calling out to "TwistedNadine"!!!!

Are you really gonna let BP have the "Ultimate Rat Remarque" so easily????


For that matter, are the rest of you??? You've got to figure BP is the current High Bidder!!! Get in there folks!!!


Sorry, Grant. I do have a job to do!!!

You know, now that you mention it, you're right!!! LOL LOL My ass is dragging a bit these days!!! Not good for a "Whore"!! LOL

Side note: My count has 166 Rays!!! I count the tail only one's as a whole rat!!

Anyone else care to guess?

FWIW I checked with Glenn and he has no idea what the total is!!! Quote: I just tried to fill as many pages with as many rats as I could!!!! LOL

C'mon, folks!!! This is a truly "Legendary" item!!! Less than two days to go!!!! Get in there!!! Don't let certain un-named folks just steal it for $400!!!! Glenn really sweated on this one!!!!! LOL



Who will be the "Book Rat Remarque" KING????

Bad Penny

Yep, if you look very closely Wild Bill, you can see the faint dewy remnants of the droplets shed from Glenn's furrowed brow permeating the paper - or, I just need my freaking eyes checked - either way, this is a brilliant ratmarque !!!! :rock:

I hate to do this to my mate, Grant, but this is a $500 book if I ever saw one!!!! Remember, Glenn is on record as guaranteeing this as the "Ultimate Rat Remarque" never to be topped!!!!


You'll be forever the KING OF THE RAT REMARQUES!!!!

Hence, the only ONE of it's kind!!!!

Sigh ... First and last comment on the subject ... :harrier:

To the tune of “Fire Water Burn, Bloodhound Gang”

The rats, the rats, the rats are remarqued,
The rats, the rats, the rats are remarqued,
The rats, the rats, the rats are remarqued,
Penny’s got his Chadbourne on so let the rat remarquer draw,
Draw, rat remarquer, draw.

Well, my name is Penny and I’m down Australia way
Hanging with the TDT forum folk pretty much all day
Reading all the posts, updating my own thread
Buying too many books, thus I have no bread
Poverty’s a bitch, but how can I complain
Donate another organ, who cares about the pain

Then one day Wild Bill gets a thought in his evil head
To benefit the Haven Foundation, ‘cos somewhere he had read
That poor old Penny, for all his lack of class
Wants a million remarqued rats climbing out his ass
Hence Bill and Glenn hatch an evil plan
To fleece poor old Penny for everything they can

Rats, rats, rats by the score, scurrying off the pages
A remarqued tome with no compare, a monument for the ages
The Haven Ho, off he goes, spruiking left and right
Who’s gonna win this remarque, will it go without a fight
Whilst RF sits upon his golden throne, rubbing his claws with glee
Knowing the HF coffers will ratte with another donation from me

Anyway, the auctions over, it’s all said and done
I sit here despondently, yet another organ gone
The question I ask myself, deciding between kidney and spleen
Is why the heck Twisted Nadine was nowhere to be seen

The rats, the rats, the rats are remarqued,
The rats, the rats, the rats are remarqued,
The rats, the rats, the rats are remarqued,
Penny’s got his Chadbourne on so let the rat remarquer draw,
Draw, rat remarquer, draw.
