I wanted to get a cat but the hounds from hell would probably kill it.
More like sitting in a hot car or truck waiting for someone to show up. Good times!!! ![]()
I live in the 'burbs (½ the taxes & double the services) so I don’t need to abide by their motto either. {where’s the evil smiley?}
Shark fins have negative effect on tube propulsion which means we need to find another way to launch them; giant slingshots perhaps?
However, we could [del]put rolled-up, tranquilizer-laced steaks in the spud gun to take care of the wolves[/del] get a human cannonball cannon & give this outfit to Flytrap; kindasorta that two birds with one stone thingy. Thataway Greenpeace won’t get mad at us for throwing off the wolves sleep schedule & can continue trying to get Bobbio back in the water. (Ya know how in a good novel all the loose ends tie up in the last few pages.
)
Lemme go to my library for other ideas.
May I humbly suggest the Victor M260 Multi-Kill Electronic Mouse Trap. It IS expensive for a mouse trap BUT, you bait it once and it keeps killing - 150 of the little squeakers on a set of 4 C batteries.
The mice follow the scent of peanut butter or other bait up the tiny staircases (so cute) into the death chamber. They have to straddle 2 metal plates to reach the treat. As soon as it detects the reduced resistance between the plates the mouse’s body creates, ZAPPP!!! Dead mousie.
Then, with the psychotic efficiency of Sweeney Todd, the floor of the chamber rotates like the throttle in a carburetor and unceremoniously dumps the corpse into the collection tray.
While it says the ‘collection drawer’ can hold 10 mice and that’s probably true if you arrange them carefully like socks in a drawer (socks with a mouse theme - obviously), I would suggest cleaning it out before you’ve added that many to your ‘collection.’ ![]()
I’ve used this myself and it’s one of my favorite gadgets. I have a lot of gadgets, but not a lot of favorites.
A two-story mouse house & E-lect-rick chair; kewl!
Do they make 'em in Arkansinian sizes? (Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!)
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And 4 days in Bali, Indonesia. I haven’t taken any vacation days – other than a sporadic day off here and there – for a little more than a year.
I went to my 25 year class reunion a few years ago (class of '85) and had a blast, but did find myself wondering who all the old people were ![]()
Hmmm. I take it you have ‘plus-size’ mice yearning to be gerbils or guinea pigs perhaps?
There are a variety of electronic rat traps but those are single-kill only as far as I know and that’s all I’m seeing now with a quick search.
Cats really are the best at this since they enjoy their work so much. ![]()
Yeah, I figure a bunch of old farts will sneak into our reunion. ![]()
I just looked at my high school graduation portrait - I was so adorable looking back then. Gravity is so cruel, and thinning hair, and wrinkles. But I’ve still got my own teeth!!! ![]()
:dubious:
If we cut the shark fins off, they will fit the tube better, and be really, really, really pissed off when they land in the pool.
And, we can make soup!
It’s thundering - I think I need to turn this machine off… Who’s got tomorrow??
Thanks mom.
Today is my aunt’s 80th birthday and there was a big party and mom tells me afterwards that I was invited.
It’s not the first time she’s done that.
I too realized the deficiencies of my plan and propose two further modifications
- Steam Catapult with SHARK launch tray(patent pending)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_catapult#Steam_catapult
- The use of Hammerhead SHARKS for aerodynamic efficiency
As we can be sure to miss Swampy’s pool a few times, I doubt the Wolves will be too interested in us, as they will be distracted by dangerous meat falling from the skies.
I still am puzzled at your insistence at every turn of this worthy endeavor to cause harm to our own Flytrap. If he were to fall in the execution of our plan, say by being eaten by by a sea creature while obtaining our projectiles, we would doff our hats and mourn our comrade and we would continue upon our way, heavy in heart but brightened in the knowledge that he died not in vain but so that we could achieve our noble goal. Remember good sir, we seek to fill Swampy’s pool with SHARKS, we must put aside our differences and complete our mission, anyway you can always challenge him to a duel.

I’ve spent all week up in here not readin’ the posts about the surprise bein’ planned for me. Still not sure about the whole Full Monty thing but I’m certain I would appreciate the effort. 
Dinner is cooking, life is good.
Boys. boys.boys. The plan is unworkable, unless you use sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads.
It looks like a Toolbox of Death. I’ll keep using the snap traps. I’m down to one, so hopefully my infestation is almost at an end.
I just bought a game on Steam and it’s taking for. bloody. ever. to download. It should be done around 4 a.m. at this rate. Oh well, I’m getting some work done on the Neverending Teal Blanket.
This is getting expensive
::Adds lasers to list::

OK and this is not me trying to change your mind - truly. For me the nicest thing about it is the fact that if I remember to wipe up the old bait and put some fresh PB in every couple months, the trap will get any new arrivals before they get the chance to piss and shit on everything everywhere.
What it really needs for that kind of ‘long march’ situation though is a transmitter. Going into the basement after a few weeks to see that I’ve nabbed one isn’t so much fun when you open the drawer and discover its less than pristine state. Fortunately I seem to have a preternatural sense of smell when it comes to the unique aroma of dead mouse and it’s never been TV forsenics level of disgusting. Even so . . . not fun.
I’m good for the .55.
Please note the location of post #409 :dubious:
Especially when you add $ in to, ahhh, “grease palms” in order to get gov’t agency letterhead.
It is much less illegal to go with #403 plan
