Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just can't imagine my boss ever asking me to do that...too weird.

I bought a medium sized knee brace (open patella) the other day, and tried it on today.

Too freaking small.

"Kettlebell, baby!" chanted back some of my fellow instructors, turning my words against myself.

Fine. I hope they'll let me trade it for a large without the receipt.

Fucking kettlebell.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

ita, ME TOO!! And then I remembered due to the convo with sarameg, that I knew how to find out!

Laga, JZ, no, just, no. I understand that mice are a rodent and whatever, but no. My friends used to have snakes, which they fed mice. Circle of life. I get it. But once they got one too tiny for the snakes to eat. They said it would have sat in the tank, terrified, until the snake finally killed it. So they took it out and gave it a shoebox until it got big enough. Unfortunatly, for the snake, it nuzzled me and we gave it a name, and as long as I fed it, we kept it. I should say though that I was 16 and didn't live with them, so they likely took over the feeding duties. But, uh uh. No.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yeah it does kinda weaken my position that we have a snake at home that eats live mice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fucking kettlebell.

You are buff.

Think about Keeanu when he was doing Speed. "I didn't want cut muscles. I wanted big, beefy cop arms."

No. If your shoes or the glue strip needed the mice to live, that would be different.

Yes. I have my own animal cruelty morality. Don't judge.

I printed out a statement from the SFSPCA to take to work tomorrow.

Compassionately intolerant

Quick tip on mice in glue traps. I concur with NO. Period.

But if you find one by chance...as I did at the law office...The vet tells me all you need do...if the critter has not broken all its own bones trying to escape...pour vegetable oil over the trap and the mouse will be freed.

Turning over and stomping on it? W.T.F.

Someone with no compunction about killing like that? Pretty scary.

I would never stomp a mouse! I would never stomp a cockroach! I throw books I don't particularly like at them, like my biology text from college, or use Mr. Jane's shoes. Mice should be humanely trapped and sent to the country.

I have a similar policy about bugs in my house. With a caveat.

Everyone gets a free ride outside...unless you land onme. Then? Bets might be off.

But otherwise, I'd rather hedge that karmic bet (debt). Ya just never know. Plus...the ick is just too much to contemplate.
