Having just this morning pulled a dead rat out of one of my kitchen light valences, that burst during the night and had been dripping maggots down onto our kitchen counter all night (I was going to write a TMI thread about it 🙂 all I can say is…good luck, and don’t wear a shirt with a loose open collar :eek:

No way are you getting away with just this. You are talking to message board members who devote entire threads to pus videos. We want details, even though we know they will make us (and you) vomit all over our keyboards.

**Mongo** ,

If you ask **Velma** nicely, maybe she’ll let you store the carcass in the [cooler of death](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=177712&page=1&pp=50&highlight=cooler+death)!

Hah, I once had to fish a squirrel out of my pool after opening it up for the summer. It’s skin fell off when I scooped it out.

We ate well that night!

(I’m only joking about one part of this story.)

I`m _so_ not going to **Mongo Ponton** pool party this year.

Hey, look how putting “Not for the Squeamish…” in the thread title has caused a huge Views number. Sort of like how we all run to the TV when the newscaster tells us that the upcoming images may be disturbing to some viewers.

I won’t be _truly_ disturbed until we get some details on this. Otherwise I’m just going to have to find a large animal carcass and put it in my neighbors’ pool and see how \*they \*handle it.
