Wyatt,

Looks like everyone has been checking it out...exceeded bandwith. Could you post it through the upload feature on the site so more of us can see it?

Really? Holly crap, didn't think anyone really would look at it. I suppose- hang on.

Sounds like us when we opened a large complex ... infested with mice. Had spintraps in every booth, yet we had fun with the ones caught - flush them down the booth toilets (since they were the power water type and we'd soap up the bowl so they had no chance of jumping out), Pull the handle and send them to their watery graves ...

I don't see a mouse. I see some dirt hanging on a projector.

Mouse well done

When I was cleaning it up I wished it was just dirt!

And Phil, I certainly didn't push it. I walk down the end of the hall to start the movie again for the next round and there it is in all its glory.
I'm just glad it hadn't somehow made it into the lamphouse and cooked itself.
Course, on those long all day shifts where I have to babysit a film due to some evil Christie platter problems and I can't get out to go get something to eat, the cooked mouse mignt have been a welcomed incident [Wink]

Don't let Emma hear about that!! [Eek!]

I don't understand. What shredded it? Did it commit suicide? It looks like it jumped into a meat grinder....or got its tail caught in the intermittent! Dumb ass mouse.

Posted by Wyatt Copeland (Member # 4433) on 08-21-2007, 02:52 PM:

I'm really not sure.
I wish I knew. Still smells strange, but I can't find any more pieces or anything left to clean.

Not uncommon. Even more fun when one gets fried in the lamphouse. [Big Grin]

Wouldn't be surprised if it happens this winter. I know for a while they lived in the ceiling. They'll probably work their way up there again, find some godawful way into a vent, fall down, and
TTTTSSSSSSSS foods ready. Afterall, its the best source of heat in the building [Big Grin]

wait, where's the rest of the mouse?!

Posted by Chris Slycord (Member # 4239) on 08-23-2007, 12:45 AM:

Apparently chewed up by the projector?

Posted by Allison Parsons (Member # 2728) on 08-23-2007, 12:55 AM:

Careful, that projector is going to become the thing in the Stephen King story The Mangler haha.

The rest of the mouse was..well..everywhere. A huge chunk of the skull was on the floor. It was't a very large mouse. That dangly piece hanging there is most of the mouse. If you see the larger picture you can kinda make out the 'face' I'm sure theres more somewhere..cuz it still smells bad, but I can't find it.
