Freaky Coincidence!

[Ash]

This one is similar to the "Scared the crap out of me" thread.

I'm sitting here at my p.c. on this message board reading a few threads,  watching "Willard" on DVD of all movies when a mouse runs over top of my bare left foot and scurries under the couch!!

Holy s**t!  
Talk about nearly having a heart attack!
I almost fell out of my chair.

Mice & rats generally don't bother me but THAT freaked me out!

What are the odds that a mouse would run over my foot while watching a movie about a man who commands rats & mice??

I set out three traps for the little bastard with some fine smoked gouda cheese I recently purchased. (for my own consumption hehe!)
It's getting cold out so they're starting to come inside but death is what awaits them!

I can hear him scratching around right now as I post this.  

I'm waiting any second now to hear that familiar SNAP!! of the traps.

Well when you do hear a snap be sure to leave that gift at your landlords doorstep

I sorta expect that to grow into something like:

"I can hear him scratching...I set the trap but I don't know if it will work.  He's too smart for that..the scratching is coming closer...closer...I don't know if I'll finish this post in time..."

Hehe!

Yeah....kinda like a last recorder or logbook entry.

Then they find my 80% mice devoured corpse.

I was once watching Carnosaur 3: Primal Species and I saw a real life dinosaur in my living room. Scared the crap out of me.

Damn, what's that mouse's name & serial number?  The revolution isn't supposed to start yet.

Heh.  I was watching ARACHNOPHOBIA when I went to get some food from the kitchen.  On the floor was the tiniest of spiders, yet all my sensors immediately went up.  Spider!  Of course, one second later I felt pretty stupid, so I squashed it.

I'm pretty sure mice don't like cheese as much as supposed.  I don't remember what they do like, but you might want to keep that smoked gouda for yourself.

When we had young kittens they used to follow me in the dark to get fed in the morning.  On the floor they moved around exactly like the creatures in "Pitch Black"..rather un-nerving

I was watching THE EXORCIST once, when I was suddenly possessed by the devil. Then I turned into Linda Blair and launched myself into an embarrassing acting career.

I'm better now.

[Ash]

Woohoo!

I got home from watching Kill Bill and what did I find?

One very dead mouse with a broken neck in one of my traps!

Gotcha you little sucker!

So you think....they never really die...

I've had mouse trouble before; in one big old house I lived in, they went for the bread, since I didn't have a breadbin.  I baited the traps with muesli, successfully.

And, in a lounge with three cats, it was me who had to kill the mouse with a shoe while they looked on with polite disinterest!

That's cats for you, getting people to do their dirty work for them.  Of course none of my dogs ever went after the mice that stole their dog food.

Crouching Tiger - Hidden Police Speed Trap

Should that be "Crouching Feline - Hidden Mouse Trap"?

[wickednick]

I use hot dogs to catch mice.They seem to like that more than cheese.One of the things I like to do is catch mice alive and put them in my neighbors mail box.
