embarrassing your friends is easier than coming up with original ideas
23 05 2007I had a couple conversations yesterday with my friend Amanda (aka The Cap’n). Rather than paraphrase it, I will just post the first part of it (since it was an online chat) and then dictate the second portion.
The Cap’n: i was my own comedy routine..it was terrible
The Cap’n: grey was trying to get in the garage all morning..ran out 2. second time i went to get her and i was in the middle of the garage
The Cap’n: this HUGE (i think pregnant) mouse come running out from behind a board and she went chasing after it, growling
The Cap’n: it ran right at my leg. so i naturally did the only thing i could think of
The Cap’n: i started screaming and jumping up and down
me: ha
The Cap’n: grey was chasing the mouse and i was screaming like a girl
The Cap’n: i realized the house door was open so i jumped over and slammed the door shut..afraid to look again
The Cap’n: i guess she chased it back behind something ..i finally coaxed her back in.
me: close call
I got a phone call last night informing me that the invader had been apprehended and that she might have, in her panic, fingered the wrong suspect.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what huge, pregnant mice look like in Missouri.
ha ha… shame.
I was informed of this story this morning, and found it hilarious. I told her Brad had every right to laugh at her. In a side note, I must say how surprised I am the Grey actually made an effort to attack it, as a few months ago she made no effort to get the mouse that was in Alley’s room. And it required movement of some sort.
Hey, if it’s any consolation, when I lived with my ex boyfriend I had a mouse tear ass across the living room floor one day while I was just hanging out minding my own business, I about had a heart attack.
As I hopped up on the nearest chair screaming for him to kill it, he stood there with a broom laughing at me. He got the mouse cornered and just to make me feel even sillier had me come look at how small it was. It was a baby, couldn’t have ben but 2 inches long, really little guy. I thought he was sort of cute.
Poor stupid cute little animals.
In my defense, it ran at my legs and I was wearing flip flops. I didn’t have time to think. You know, my survival instincts just kicked in. Turned out to be a damn cute bunny. I sure would have felt bad if I had let my cat eat it!
According to the Internet, and this may surprise you, officially there were No Human Fatalities Caused By Rabbits in 2006, not a single one. I’ll bet the government is in on the whole thing—it’s a conspiracy!!
Actually this is what the giant mouse looked like. I shall call him Bunnicula.
