Mouse Be Gone

Saw this link yesterday on boing boing, forwarded it to Reha and last night we had a “humane trap” party. We set up four traps, but they were all empty this morning. Didn’t look like we’d even gotten a sniff.

Exterminators are coming today. Sorry, little brown fellas, but you should either move on to another place or be prepared to meet your maker. We’d like to make peace with you, but you keeping pooping all over everything. And like I’ve said before, only certain people are allowed that privilege at our house.

Deal Humane Trap #1™ (Note that Re has put toilet paper at the bottom so our little brown buddy has a soft landing. And honestly this trap might not work so well, because the little critters can jump pretty well and the sides of that pot might be too small a hurdle.)



Deal Humane Trap #2™ (Note that there’s no soft landing on this. Oh well.)



But look at what I caught in my car this morning! I think we’ll keep her.

  1. My recollection is that, during the humane trap party, you were dozing in a chair in front of an open book. Brings to mind words I often heard my dad speak: “What’s this ‘we’ shit, white man?”

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
