"Indy, why does the floor move"?

I'm a lousy painter, but I'm better at prep work than that.

necessary.

/Before RTFA I assumed it was New York

Is cookie!

I know it's early...but where is the road kill armadillo?

Ben! Most people would turn you away. I don't listen to a word they say. Okay c'mon, you know you came here for the Jocko thread

i read that story to myself doing my jeff foxworthy impersonation.

Sounds like the previous tenants of my new apartment. They left behind all sorts of home maintenence surprises.

Awe, cute. Pet rats are awesome.

/wild rodents in eating establishments are so good

you be here for 4 hour, you go now!

Why you bring fking seal?

"I have have never seen a floor like that," Weinsier said.

After having been invited in, he was quickly escorted out the door.

"I'll have the frosted mice crispies, to go."

on closer inspection mine is road kill possum, not armadillo....but you get the point

your restaurant is suffering a rodent problem.You killed my brother


/Edward G. Robinson nods approval

For those trying to understand from a landscaping perspective.

"there were 100 semi-fresh rodent droppings"

Something about that makes me smile...

Americans talk like that? WTF?!

Threadjack: My heartfelt condolences, rats make amazing pets. I didn't get a chance to respond in the Caturday thread about Peanuts passing. My brother had one named Rocko who was smarter than most dogs. I'm sorry to hear Peanut wont be coming to Raturday anymore.

That guy's crazy. Mouse texture floor is the new rage. I saw it on HGTV.

Win...

Seriously, if you have a large enough population of mice that they're dying of old age (or from the food) in the corners the place is beyond hope.

Back on subject: It is in Hialeah, this is not surprising. That place is a disaster area.

why must we people resort to violence?

/C-Hug

why must I post in the wrong thread?

/I-Diot

i swear i have heard of a similar happening before.

No you didn't, stinkycatfish.

I know this is not remotely similar in scale... but on the subject of laziness, freshman year in high school I was working on an art project in the hallway, and had spelled out my name on the wall in scraps of masking tape. High school kids do that kind of thing.

now every year rather than cleaning the grafitti off the walls my highschool just repainted the building over the summer.

The next year I came back and they had simply painted over the masking tape on the wall rather than taking the 5 seconds or so it may have taken to pull it off, creating a now permanent and very visible "Jynn" shaped ridge on the wall. it was painted over again each subsequent year I was there, growing more visible each time.

Thanks for the kind comments.

i, for one, am just totally in love with the way he rolls the "r" in "La Reina" without fail, every time. i can't even do that.

I'm not choosing until I know what options (a) and (b) are.

ahh florida, my home. where you can see men in trucks stop to pick up fresh road kill, then drive a few blocks and bring it inside.
saw a dead possum tonight as i went to the store, it was very fresh, when i came back the same way..gone.
as to mouse infestations, there a big problem here.
every week Chinese restaurants are closed for this very thing in my county...as well as finding cats hanging in the fridge....thought it was just a myth, but no, saw the pictures..

Personally I would have gone with a)use them in the diner entree.

I loves me some rodent au gratin!

Nothing beats grandma's squirrel and sparrow gumbo though.

i dont recall paint instructions mentioning moving rats out of the way

Hialeah seems to represent some of the worst excess in corruption, lack of zoning, lax enforcement, etc in greater miami, so it's not all that shocking. In Hialeah you'll find factories making rat poison right next to residential subdivisions, hole-in-the-wall (literally) coffee shops everywhere that haven't had the most basic floor sweeping or express machine washdown in a decade, etc, etc, etc. Given that the typical cuban restaurant in Miami uses rancid lard in everything they make, I stictly avoid them.

no!

c) replace expensive chicken on menu

At my work they paint over the bird shiat on the walls. Maintenance supervisor calls it stucco.

"Do you see these? Those are mice that have been painted over. There is a tail. There is one, two. And it smells like mice here. These are mice that have been painted over."

this is genius commentary, I want to work this into a great melodramatic movie, or maybe a deadpan cop show

Bucky Katt: no!

The other white meat!!111!!!1!1

"This is not a caper. This is a rat turd."

Name that film.

Even dead mice . . . . have their tales.

radioman_: "This is not a caper. This is a rat turd."

Name that film.

"It's a caper!"
"Really? Eat it."

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The 1978 version.

that hotlinked image was rescaled and, holy shiat, it still looks huge

oh well, alternate line for the script:

I guess we'd call this . . . mouse paint.

Inspector: "Um, hey.... I think that there are dead, painted mice right there..."

Owner: "What? Ridiculous! That's part of the floor."

Inspector: "No, I'm pretty sure. Dead. Painted. Mice."

Just the description makes me feel sick.

From one pet rat owner to another, I offer my sincere condolences. Someone put it nicely when they wrote that the lifespan of a pet rat is painfully short. It's true. They are such awesome, personality-filled, inquisitive, loveable pets whose lives are far too short. I wish they wouldn't always get such a bad rap. SO much better than a hamster ot gerbil, like a dog really. I'm very attached to my three boys, and I will be sad to see them go, just like the five before them - Caesar, Tintinius, Tibernius, Nero, and Cassius.

This article prompted me to check the local health board site for reataurant closures this year. About half the closures were for rodent infestation. Nope, no where I eat has made the list, but the year is only half over.
