Then I got sticky traps - basically flypaper on a plywood backing. When I caught the first rat on one, I was now faced with the issue of what to do with it. I realized there was a reason they came two-to-a-pack --- I made a rat sandwich with them. It then got the bag treatment like the movie. I figured it was the most humane thing to do - nice & quick.

That is better than what I did to them; I used a hammer.

Thank you very, very much for the great information, Brian!
I cannot take that credit, but I will pass it on to my pal who made that ID for you. You're quite welcome, on his behalf.

That's a scene from the upcoming Thor movie. It's the funeral pyre of Baldur. The woman in front is Thokk who would not weep for him and the woman in back is a Norn.

I love a man who knows his Norse mythology!
Funnily enough, I was telling my nephew stories of Loki when he was here last week. I think it came from walking in the snow. He liked the one about Loki getting pregnant. As indeed I did when I was his age!

Thanks re the film info - that came in under my radar. Not a big Marvel fan myself. I liked the DC (Vertigo) treatment of the various pantheons in The Sandman though.

Just a smelly fart or two will draw flies.

Im bettin she has trouble 'reaching' for good hygiene. I used to sell Men's Suits and had to fit them for alterations. Every so often I would have to deal with a customer who smelled of 'butt'. It was troubling.

I'm reminded of the joke about the guy who got two black eyes in church...

And I would be grossed out too, except my gross-out meter redlined instantly and tripped the breaker. Probably cooked the lines all the way back to the substation.

Actually, I loved telling them 'no' when they asked. It wasn't a necessary measurement. Just marked the hem and that was that. However, if someone wanted to buy finished pants and needed to know their inseam, I would give them an educated guess and was usually right, but I gave them two different lengths to try on just in case. Mostly, though, it wasn't an issue.

If you stash your dead hobos in the basement, eventually, you will have a fly problem.....
