There is also a large dent in my wall.
Yours is not the only one
Holy guacamole am I old!! I read your post and my first thought was “What kind of person gets so pissed at their pet mouse that they throw it at the wall hard enough to leave a dent?!” Well duh, of course you meant the mouse to your computer. :smack:
dead mouse = wall dent?
All righty then.
Whether you refer to a rodent or a computer mouse, a dent in the wall isn’t parsing with me.
Whew! I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was beginning to wonder.
I believe he meant the mouse was manually propelled against the wall with sufficient force to indent it in a bout of frustration over the demise of said mouse.
“FRIGGIN’ MOUSE! ARGGGGGHHH!” SMASH!
Actually, the expletive was “PIECE OF SHHHHHIT!!!” and the SMASH was not very satisfying.
Get a trackball =P
Unfortunately I knew exactly what CoG888 meant - and it got a chuckle from me as well. Luckily my last expired mouse was several years ago and involved the desktop and not a wall.
Condolences to you and take heart in the fact that new ones don’t cost that much. (Pity the smash wasn’t more satisfying though.)
A few summers ago I had to dispatch seven real mice in one afternoon, because my cat found a nest of the buggers and dismantled it, one by one, and tortured each one in my living room. Five babies, and mommy and daddy. I removed the mouse from her grasp, then held each one by the tip of the tail and whacked it off a piece of cement. No dents, but there was a sickening “spwat” sound.
Uh, I note that your location is on the opposite of the Pond, so you might not be aware that “whack off” has certain connotations on this side of the Pond which render your description of said events rather “disturbing” to say the least. :eek:
No, both connotations are rather disturbing.
Good job I didn’t say “whack off”, then! 
Lol, yup. You definitely said, “whacked it off,” instead. 
Precisely! Much more innocent.
Then I wanked them off.
