Yea, hard to believe for me, too. Now for a special story.
As some know, I live in a less-than-savory area where just-released crack addicts roam unencumbered and transvestite prostitutes peddle there wears in my very split-level. But that is neither here nor there. This is a story about a mouse.
Two mice have plagued our residence this calendar year spanning 2007-2008. The first met an untimely death in a conventional snap-trap after a failed backflip into our stove went desperately wrong. The mouse is dead.
Long live the mouse. In January, our second friend appeared; larger and more cunning than his predecessor, he stalked our kitchen with impunity. Crumbing whatever we were to lazy to clean ourselves. He had a bountiful feast before him, as college males are only so clean.
Poison and glue traps, among other conventional traps failed to bring swift death upon the ghastly, yet tiny creature. Our kitchen was his domain. Where as the first mouse only felt safe on the stove and counter, this marauding beast grew brazen enough to wander the open floors. And thus, we grew tired. And we plotted. And we schemed.
At 3:00 AM March 6, a plan was hatched to create a trap reminiscent of a child's game. A child's game aptly named MOUSE TRAP. A paper towel roll was baited with peanut butter and granola, and balanced over the edge of our counter where below was an open drawer, with a dish of water.
At approximately 11:30 PM on March 7th, the greedy scoundrel sauntered into the tube, where his bloated gut from past gluttonies tipped itself into the drawer below. Great success!...or was it?
The mouse leaped out of the drawer and scurried under a mound of festering trash. (Not so much festering). My roommate methodically removed each pile until he located the mouse feasting in an empty cookie box. He covered the box and quickly moved it to the water closet and placed it into the shower.
The mouse leaped wildly. And appeared so ferocious that my roommate removed his tie out of fear the beast would scale the tie and gnaw out his eyes.
Now, the mouse was scooped into a plastic pitcher, which was covered with tin foil, which was trapped doored into a glass jar. The mouse spent a few regretful hours in the glass jar before my roommate whisked him off to parts unknown on his way to work. So that he could continue to live, always remembering when his reign as house glutton was prematurely sullied.
Let it warn the others. All mice appeared hence forth are given 24 hours notice before swift trapping.
THE END. |

Happy eaterversary Magildo!
At least we know you aren't starving, there's always something left in the pizza boxes and assorted stuff on the floor.
Apparently deep fried roof squirrel is quite tasty too |

Happy Eaterversary
You could always borrow a cat
A friend of mine swears by peppermint oil, dripped on cotton wool balls , placed around the floors. Supposidly the mice dont like the smell.
Not sure she's ever tried it as a transvetite prostitute deterrent |

For a mouse like that, get a large bucket. Fill it about half way with water. Then dump enough bird seed in it to cover the surface of the water, to make it appear as it the bucket is full of bird seed. The mouse (or other assorted rodents) will most certainly find it, jump in, and, unless they are awesome swimmers, perish pretty quick.
Oh yea, happy Eaterversary. |

Happy Eaterversary. Getting a cat is the best suggestion. Even if the cat is too lazy to hunt mice, you get a cat out of the deal. A no lose situation. |

Happy Eaterversary and thanks for the great story.
When I was in college I would raise mice for spending money. They would pay for my hamburgers, beer and cigarettes. When my Dad got wind of my animal factory, he told me that he raised mice in a gulag in Siberia for extra rations, prisoner brewed alcohol and tobacco. I wonder what your flatmate got for the mouse? Ask him for half. |
