I LOVE writing back and forth with Limeys! (that is not an insult, merely slang for what we call you- sorta' like you calling us Yanks).

Oh don't act all.... well, Limey- like! You are only half- Limey and if you didn't tell us we wouldn't even know. Two or three more generations at the most and your lineage will be a distant memory and only a small embarassement to your offspring.

Ah, leathers = motorcycle leathers. Yes, makes perfect sense and even works in the US too. I guess I was just looking for something else being it was a UK who wrote that post. And to be honest, I was a little ascairt (scared) of learning what it might really mean- wait until an Englishman asks to borrow a rubber.  :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:  Like I would want it back.....

Back on topic: trapline clear, peanut butter frozen (temp. here is around 20 F and heading down with lots 'o wind), mice hiding.

Aw, there, there Jim. Maybe every once in a while, generations from now, when your decendants are learning to use utinsils and little Joey eats with his knife, some on- looker will stop and think: Limey!

 :rotflmao:

Most of us are a mixed lot in the US and getting more and more mixed everyday. About the best I can do is say that to the best of my knowledge, my ancestors were European but even that is uncertain. Let's face it, unless you are of royal blood or some such, we really don't know where we came from, certainly not for hundreds of years at least. And besides all that, a pure- blooded Englishman is really.... German and Norse and a little French and some Celt and some Pict and.... about everything else anyway so there isn't much to long for IMO.

Kirby checked the trapline and reported back. We got one on the ole' mouse scoreboard:

Raid: Kills mice dead!     1
Victor: Kills mice fast!     0

Godspeed little mouse- dude, Godspeed.

Here's Kirby pointing to the trap with the most points:



(We're gonna' need an emoticon of a someone giving a crisp 'mouse grade' salute or something....)

I found this on the interwebs and modified it a bit.

Death of Mickey Mouse

The Walt Disney Studios regrets to announce that Mickey Mouse, the oldest, and probably foremost (with due regards to Mr. Donald Duck, who is also equally well-respected) passed away, apparently last night, and was discovered by his wife, the well known Minnie Mouse. It is surmised that he died of poisoning. The death seems to have been instigated by BDF, with Kirby as his accomplice.

Mickey (or as he was known to his many Spanish friends) Miguelito Ratonchita, came from humble beginnings as a petty thief, taking bread crumbs from the art easel of Walt Disney.  It was Mickey’s pluck (do people have pluck nowadays?) that inspired Walt (everyone called him Walt) to transition from drawing nose art for air corps bombers to drawing Mickey.  He made fun of Mickey by drawing these outrageous ears, but Mickey, being a professional actor didn’t mind and coined the phrase, “there are no small parts, only small actors.”  Or something like that.  Mickey was not very bright.

“One of the best things that ever happened to me,” was what Mickey said when Walt penned Minnie and they went on (Mickey and Minnie, not Mickey and Walt) to a happily married (because this was the thirties and you had better be married or, well, never mind) life.  It is said that Mickey and Minnie had three-hundred and fifty-six children, but since none of them made it in show business, we don’t care.

Services will be held in the Little Chapel of the Mice, which is reached by taking the second mouse hole in the floor of the first gift shop in Disneyland.  You must be two inches tall or less to enter. 
Burial will be at the Forest Lawn of the Field Mice at the Mouse Kingdom.  Pallbearers include Popeye, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester, Bluto and Pluto, and Fritz the cat, who will remain behind, after the others have left, to guard the casket.

Nuh uh! It was a spinal cord injury and besides, I don't know nothin' about it! I swear. I was home all night with my wife. We were watching TV. I can prove it because I can tell you what was on the night the mouse was killed died.

I think it was a plot. Maybe a conspiracy. It is all a cover- up I tells' ya'. You have no idea how high this reaches! You better back off or the black helicopters will come for ya'!

Say little girl, how you doin'?

What's a nice rodent like you doing in a place like this?

If you want me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, right- just put what would have been your lips together and blow; I'll recognize the hiss.

Nope, don't use poison. In a better world, I would catch the little guys and let them outside but unfortunately they just come back inside where they know it is warm. So for lack of a better method, it is the typical mechanical mousetrap for me. Or should I say... them.
