So you know that one trap I mentioned which was snapped and had the bait removed? Remember how I said that it was cool if "one got away"? Well, the mouse did actually get away. In fact, he got about a foot and a half away before his partially smushed little head could lead him no further.
He expired behind some boxes next to where the traps are. By the time I found him, he was about 3" in diameter and sort of... "soupy" on the inside (part of him stuck to the concrete floor, and he leaked a little when I scraped him up). He smelled really nice, too. I'm thanking the maker for latex gloves and bleach.
"The maker"? As in God? Somehow, I didn't picture God to be a mouse killing, latex wearing, walking-in-a-bleach-miasma kinda guy. But, heck, I'm open minded...
Posted by suzi at June 30, 2004 10:50 PMWait- I was describing Wee. I'm sure God has latex allergies and would never behead poor mousies.
(Or would he?)
Well, "the maker" is vague enough a term I guess. I like to keep an open mind, you see.

I'm appreciative of Wee taking one for the team in terms of disposing of the ex-mouse. Considering that having to pick a cricket up off the floor and stick it in the frog cage last night made me want to spew, I can't imagine how I would've handled rotten rodent cleanup.

We have you surrounded. You may crush our soldiers, but you will not crush our spirit. Even as we speak I have deployed a sleeper cell of suicide decomposers to lie in martyred repose somewhere near your so-called bedroom.
All your cable insulation are belong to us!
Oh no... Somebody set us up the trap!
