Ratman Mug
A local legend in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. A small seaside town in South Eastern England. The story of the Ratman has some variants but the core result remains the same. That under a tunnel, sitting just near the residence of the Mayor, there looms a figure that resembles both a rat and a human being. It will screech in the middle of the night and attempt to chase out people walking through there at night. One version of the story tells of a local tramp and headcase. Who lived in the tunnel, being paralysed and unable to leave. One night a group of drunken teenagers beat him to death and stole what little food and clothes he had. As he was freezing to death he could see rats scuttle forth to consume him. He swore revenge on the town that had abused him, and is now the Ratman of Southend, a vengeful spirit that hates the young and healthy. The other version claims that the Ratman was the deformed son of an old Mayor of Southend. He was born hideously deformed, with a rodent-like snout, jagged teeth and a rotting stench about him. The Mayor had the tunnel constructed to hide his secret, as the child was also the result of an adulterous relationship. The Ratman still lurks there to this day, alone in the dark and waiting for any tasty humans to cross its path. The story emerged years ago and reappears from time to time, via bizzare signs posted on lamp-posts and telephone poles.

wow! this mug is so thoughtful to giving to my wife!
The description tells nothing but facts. 5 stars instant
Your description is right on, except in 1989 I named my daughter Kallen Mikel (www.kallenmikel.com/original-art). I thought I made up the name, but apparently, it originated as a boy's name in Greek and Hebrew. I first found this out in 2001 when I was traveling to Finland. In the 'tube food' section in a big Finnish supermarket there it was, a royal blue tube of salmon paste with a blonde-haired boy named Kallen! So now I have discovered that there are many Kallen's of both sexes. I want to buy her a cup, but it has 'him' on it. Is there any way you can make that a unisex description for both sexes? Just askin'. Being a Barbara (Barbs) myself ... a 'cake eater' from Edina, MN I had to ask ... haha ;-)
Thank you for the mug. It arrived fast and exceeded my expectations.
