Wharf Rat

The Wharf Rats are a sub-group of Deadheads who are drug and alcohol free. Predominantly recovering alcoholics and or drug abusers. From the Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter song "Wharf Rat" about a down and out wino hanging around the docks of San Francisco.

You can find the Wharf Rats congregating where the yellow balloons are during intermission.

Wharf Rat

A humongous fat woman.

Look at the wharf rat! I bet her pussy lips look like two swollen hams.
