Gandalf has been seen killing mice. But I don't think he's understood he can eat them.
Although, with his weird eating habits, he would refuse to eat them even if he knew he could.

Our cats think palmetto bugs (really beeeeg cockroaches that we get down here and, like Kudzu, are unkillable and unstopable) were invented for this amusement.

I come downstairs some mornings to find bug legs. Nothing else, just the legs.

I guess the cats don't like dark meat?

Hee!

One of my cats (not sure which one) once killed a rat and brought it into the house for me. Neither one was interested in eating it, so they brought it to me. How loyal.

Aside from this rat, both of them always had great difficulty even killing bugs, so I was quite surprised to find a dead rat in front of my couch.

The reason the cats brought you the rat is because they consider you are part of their family.

Our cat on Onondaga Hill used to bring in slightly dead moles. He was trying to teach us to hunt.

My aunt's cat once brought in a squirrel without bothering to kill it first.  She discovered it hiding behind Christmas presents...

Heh, our neighbours cat gave us quite a scare the other night. We were inside with the curtains drawn. He turned out to be playing in our garden, quite probably trying to catch some fly or other, when suddenly he jumped against our window with all his legs. (Which isn't so bad, unless, like us, you had no idea he was there.)

yalahii.

Amazing -- that's EXACTLY what I do.  On weekends I can keep myself occupied for hours that way.

Hee hee!  Damn mice.

You can do the same thing with kids, a empty swimming pool and skateboards. *sage nods*

However, to be humane, make sure they have helmets, knee pads and elbow pads.

Here's a little hint I should pass along, Jonathan:

Do not try it with a blown-up swimming pool.

Good grief, I ask a simple question about hair styles and get a page an a half of animal torture that looks like the readers tips section from Serial Killer's Digest, win a dungeon make-over in our free draw.

Still raining by the way, bad news for those who missed last months article on the best locations for shallow graves.

Obviously, your search engine cannot tell them difference between "mousse" and "mouse." And if you ever tried to put a mouse in your hair instead of mousse, you'd know the diff.

I'm surprised you didn't get dessert recipes as well!

ooh, I just remembered, my biology teacher once told us that flies' eyes are placed so weirdly that while they can see everything that's going on behind them and on the sides, they can only see shadows from the front - thus if you want to swat one, do so from the fron and try not to cast a shadow.
Been a long time since I tried that, though. *looks around for flies*

Meeses, shirley?

You all know that to catch a mousse unawares you must be able to walk on rice paper without leaving a mark, or is that for catching a grasshopper?

... and don't call me Shirley ...
