Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Slurpees are not a good idea when my blood sugar is dropping like this. And also, opposite direction from the office. On the way to the office, there's sushi, Au Bon Pain, Mexican, and a burger place. I'm thinking might be good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The mouse might possibly be trapped under my oven. I'm not sure.

They can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime, Dana. A dime!

You people suck at sympathy.

I shoved sheets in the crack between the oven and the floor, and I'm going to pretend that has it trapped.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ack! No do like mouses.

Do not know how to rid homes of them either without use of cat or icky traps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I shoved sheets in the crack between the oven and the floor, and I'm going to pretend that has it trapped.

I think the good news about the dime is that it can go back where it came from, OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE.

You people suck at sympathy.

I remember when I had a mouse. I freaked the fuck out. I was hoping the board would save me, but alas, all I got was someone suggesting I store my crumbs better next time. Strangely, there were no magical powers exerted by my computers. I just had to freak out. It sucks. I'm sorry, Dana!

Sorry Dana. But if it's any comfort, I've been where you're at many, many times.

Really, my biggest comfort is that it's not a flying roach. It actually might be smaller than a roach.
