No no-- leave the mice by the mud fence.

No, no, no. What you need is a peer to cite a study reviewing the literature on dry versus wet mice.

I opened this thread thinking Dick Clark was back in the news. I am oddly disappointed.

Well as it turns out I have no dog in this fight. I came in here wondering why someone would be raging on [Dick Clark](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Clark).

I mean he’s not my cup of tea, but he’s never really struck me as particularly abrasive. Not sure where he stands on bagged mice, though.

But do you have a mouse in this fight, and if you do, is it dry or wet?

Well, sure. Since the stroke, he’s not fast enough to stand on the un-bagged variety.

Even a blind mouse sends an apology eventually.

Not a wet one, though.

When I was doing my senior research in college I had to train rats to swim.

Owing to that experience, I can conclusively conclude that wet rats smell significantly worse than dry rats.

Since we are in the pit I feel safe to say that you Sir, **jz78817** , are a LIAR!!!.

I’ve read your post at least 7 or 8 times and not once did I see a bunny with a pancake on its head. I’d take you to the pit for such a heinous fib but since we are already here I shall one up you and actually link to a bunny with a pancake on its head thus showing that I am superior to you in every way especially in the crotch department.

You seem to be under the impression that anyone cares.

Well, _you_ care. And, self esteem issues aside, I include you under the “anyone” banner.

Was this problem sorted by the Giraffe boards as well?
