First, picturing this is gruesomely amusing. Picturing someone confronted with the rain of dead mice who hasn’t heard about it in advance is even more so. . .

And for years the forest canopy will be littered with tiny mouse parachutes.

Oh, man. The images that these two posts call up. Those images will linger.

If you combine snort and chortle, do you get snortle? Cause I think I’m snortling.

If they’re still doing this in December, will the little parachutes and streamers be green and red, to give the trees that Christmas ornament look?

But “chortle” is already a portmanteau of “snort” and “chuckle”. Perhaps you’re snuckling, to shift the emphasis. Or perhaps not; “snuckling” sounds a bit…off, don’t you think?

Finally the Tylenol Killer’s talents are being used for good rather than evil.

Snuckling sounds almost pornographic. I’ll stick with snortle, even if it is [snort]^2 + [chuckle].

That is also very wrong. But it makes me grin.
