Chyna- They got into things like flour, bagged and on the baker's rack. So they didn't have to work too hard for things that were not-so-yummy but easy to forget about.

I'm surprised they could even climb onto your cupboards being so fat. They must have rolled there by accident and just couldn't get out. LOL

The Anonymous Mr. X- Nice secret knock. For true anonymity, you might also want to do something about that "Unfinished Ramblings" banner ad of yours from Humor-blogs that shows up when you do. But, hey, to each his own. :)

That said, when the green eyed monster takes over, just remember that in a few weeks I will undoubtedly be KILLED by extra long hours of work from demanding clients. And you will be free to continually to be a funny person. And I will be full of stress and forced cheer. So feel free to plan now to enjoy my suffering then. :)

B- Well, I imagine they'd have liked the chocolates... It's the thought that counts, right? :)

Sandy- The mice hadn't apparently made it into the basement, where they could have enjoyed a nice picnic courtesy of Victoria's Secret. But alas, there was no need. Not with Garbage Nirvana upstairs. The thongs were funny though-- there were JUST.... SOOO.... MANY.

fat bastard of mice--now that is scary!! And funny! :) I honestly thought you were going to tell us that the mice had been mistakenly eating the thongs. Okay, so I guess it's only in my world were mice resort to eating non-food items. :P

I remember coming home from Paris and discovering we had mice for a week... and none of the traps were working.

The reason they weren't working was because my father decided to use chocolate as a lure... he melted it onto the traps in such a way that they were completely jammed.

2008-08-20T20:02:43.862-04:00

Knock, knock (and knock).

I know now that you just have a plethora of material with which to work, don't you? And plan to bury all of us at Humor-Blogs.com and Humor Bloggers dot com. Like the blonde Floridians, you have piles of it hidden away upstairs. The only catch is that it's not the trash which they were tossing aside, it's the pearls and we're your swine. ;) Anyway, nice post (he says grudgingly, jealously through clenched teeth).

Jay- Heh, the laughin' is what Cabbages is here for. :)

Oh, the mice really were ridiculously round. They were like little Sumo wrestlers.

Who would have ever expected it?

2008-08-20T14:08:28.266-04:00

Oh, my ... I didn't know whether to laugh, sympathise or cry! LOL! Settled for laughter, as you see! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I love the image of a fat, glossy, overfed mouse trying to fit into your mousetrap and not making it! ROFL!

2008-08-20T12:37:26.141-04:00

Greg- Well, I mean, I don't have 100% proof they WERE strippers, but... Anyway, if they'd just been a little easier-to-get-along-with, no matter what their occupation, it would have been no big deal.

It was mostly the noise and the meeces that were the real challenge.

PS- I didn't have the budget to invest in/make little mousie gym equipment. Let 'em take themselves to Fievel's Gym, I say!

You know, for the briefest of moments there, I thought this was going to end in you setting up a little mousey fitness center with tiny treadmills and shrunken step machines in order to get them through the opening into the trap.

Work it, mices!

I'll have to review all my worst neighbors (I think I try to put them from my mind once they are gone - we did have one who threw her visiting girlfriend's stuff off the balcony, many toiletries landing in our koi pond and garden. Grrrr...), but I think you win the prize. We never had strippers...errr, bartenders.

"Neighbours" for sure. :)

And yes, Richard Hammond I would have certainly invited off the back porch, poor Hamster. :)

Neighbours, eh?

If only you'd have found Richard Hammond snuffling amongst the garbage... ;)

DaOldMan- It was definitely an experience. I have to say, my stress levels went down 100-fold when they finally moved out-- the girls AND the mice. :)

2008-08-20T10:24:31.976-04:00

Oy vey! That's pretty disgusting. I was in a house once where the tenants didn't believe in taking garbage to the curb. It was disgusting. At least they put it on the huge back porch. And then complained to the landlord about bugs and stuff.
