Back in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, ..., all the bars around the world were afraid of the "Rat Pack", formed by Dean Martin ("Dag"), Sammy Davis Jr. ("Smokey"), Frank Sinatra ("The Leader"). Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop were regular guests of the Pack (or "The Summit", as Frank Sinatra preferred to call it). Shirley McLaine appeared to be their honorary mascot and Girl Friday.

In the Memory of those Greats we have formed a Rat Pack on h2g2:

The Rat Pack's Swamp aka "The Rat Hole"

If you have a bar, be aware.

If you have a pub, be afraid.

If you have a GoGo-dancing place, be terrified.

The Rat Pack is after you!
