There was a mouse on Hearts of Gold with Esther Rantzen in about 1991 I think. Saved a boy from a fire, or a chair or something, I can't remember. That's a reasonable achievement for a mouse.

Nah loads of mice have done amazing things, there's statues of them everywhere, they're just a bit hard to spot.

I feel like I've read that Disney's animators referred to their place of work as Mauschwitz due to old man Walt being quite the cunt.

Icehaven

He'd probably have liked that though.

It's only fair that you eat it now.

Duckhau

work's been absolutely crawling with ducks lately, it's disgusting. i opened my drawer this morning and i swear there was at least 4 or 5 ducks in there. we're getting someone in to gas the ducks soon, but i wish we had dealt with it as soon as we found the first nest. i'm terrified of accidentally bringing some of the eggs home with me.

We have these traps at my work that are long plastic cylinders with openings at each end, and when a mouse goes in, a little door drops down and traps them inside, then poison gas is released from a cannister inside. Can anyone guess their tasteful nickname?

Thanks for pointing out what the thread title was clearly referencing.

To be fair, my thoughts went to "Reader, I married him."

I just killed a mouse
That was trying to move into my house
I never found out what its name was
It's looking rather squashed
But at least it died quick

But that would be 'CaBber, just killed a mouse', wouldn't it?

Bah, it seems you're right too. My lyrical tribute was as poorly executed as the mouse :-(

I feel that Mauschwitz is almost too obvious to guess.

You would be wrong to feel that.

Desolation.

That, on the other hand, would've been funny.

This was only partially successful as I was wearing slippers

I would like to hear more details about your partial success, and also what I presume is your new slipper situation.

pigamus

I feel a bit bad joking about that actually because it must have been fucking horrible.

weekender

What is fucking horrible to some may actually be arousing to others.

When I was 5 I stood, barefoot, onto a slug.  Crushed its brain between my toes.

Ever since then, I've always been interested in murdering innocent animals, children, people etc.

Hi MI5/MI6 (don't really know the difference apart from that it's '1'), hope you're well.

They call it the Cerys Titty Spiders Paradox

weekender

I'm going out on a limb, but does that paradox name have its origins from the Cerys Titty Spider Biting Nipple incident?

I can recall the details of that one, but as it's before the famous board crash of 2004, I think you should probably do the honours and explain in great detail what you're referring to.

Small Man Big Horse

The only deliberate murder I've ever committed was when I put a snail on a barbecue back in 1998. I still feel guilty about it to this day, but I hope your brain is less mean as it clearly was an accident.

My mother did something vaguely similar ages ago when she tried to catch a mouse by putting some Tupperware over it, but the shock of being trapped caused the mouse to have a massive heart attack. And now she is in hell (and my Mum probably will be too once she dies).

Your mum must have impressively fast reactions. Kudos to her.

I wish I'd been using something made of Tupperware - I don't think it goes brittle with age. Or if my mouse had to die, I would have preferred it was by heart attack. I didn't know that could happen. Did your mum's mouse have a history of drinking and smoking, do you know?

We don't speak of the Spider Biting Nipple incident.  That poor, masticated arachnid.

It was, and I truly appreciate people saying kind things, and relating their own stories of accidental killing, especially immediately after the event. But CaB's ability to laugh as Death pulls his hood up and gets the dog shit all over him that some prankster has dropped in it is one of the things that has kept me coming back all these years.

I have heard that this is actually a thing with some people. Seeing rodents crushed by a bare foot.

Is this not the events described in the Spider in my Cleavage thread?

Are you perhaps not pointing out what he was clearly implying?

Hmm, on consideration, I think I probably am, yes.

I feel like I've read that Disney's animators referred to their place of work as Mauschwitz due to old man Walt being quite the cunt.

they did- it was quite widespread throughout the corporation, & then a memo went round. within the hour, the story is, they'd come up with 'duckau'.

but none of this is as funny as the beslimed slipper.
