Anyway, PETA is not the point. The point is that I happen to think Keith is wrong on this, and am willing to put my opinion out there and stand by it, even though I know that I will be shredded much more inhumanely on this forum than any mouse ever would be.

Hey so you are from GERMANY!!
You guys don't mind gassing Jews, but godforbid Keith tortures a mouse!!
Dude, I didnt think I would ever see a environmental contientious Nazi.
Gas the Jews just not with Zyklon as it contains CFCs.
go hug a tree

You need to get Kicked OFF of AOL. I was banned from AOL for _______. Long story and NOT true, but ever since then I can not sign up with AOL with the Credit card I was using at the time. Maybe if you start spamming other AOL members with, I don't know maybe KATG info. They will kick you off for that.

Then they will just stop billing you for breaking the TOS you signed. I know you didn't sign up. But still sign on and start spamming everyone you meet on AOL. Someone will report you in the chat rooms and that may get you kicked out.

Keet, can you come over and Kill the Rat I have in my garage? My stupid cat will not do it, and I just don't have the evil you possess. The last one I had got caught in a trap fell off a shelf, and crawled around dragging the trap with him on the garage floor for about an hour before someone killed him with a stick.

Wow, what a great bunch of ideas, I especially like the drowning idea! I know there is an electrocution trap out there that fries the things which some people say is inhumane if thats what your going for. Or you could take two pieces of plywood and put numerous nails through each board then put then put a glue trap on it and place some food on that like usual. Take the second and suspend it above the first so the nails are facing each other. Using a piece of thread as a trip wire. Put the peanut butter on the thread so that when the mouse eats the food while it is stuck it will eat through the thread and will be punctured by the numerous nails.

Thats just a rough idea though.

Chemda,

...loved your response to aol. Reminded me of this website I found...

http://www.scaryideas.com/Cartoons/CounterScript/

it's basically a script (with logic branching) for responding to telemarketers... enjoy!

Wow way to jump to conclusions, Deuce. Oh, wait a sec, that's what you do, isn't it? Next time write me one of your special letters.

(BTW I'm Canadian, not a drop of German in me. And there are a lot of American soldiers here too, don't forget!)

2) Get the persons full name (that'll make em squirm).

3) Try to stay calm, and ask for a supervisor (if they don't put you through to one demand it).

3a) If they still refuse, calmly state that you wish to speak to a supervisor and if they can't put you through to one imediatly, you will be forced to file a lawsuit to get this settled in which the rep will be forced to testify and this conversation has been recorded, so please let me speak to a supervisor.

3b) If you get a supervisor. Don't back down. Get the full name. Demand a full refund.

The best thing is to try and stay calm. From my experience in Cust. Service, I would always shut down if someone was yelling and screaming (and these phone reps are much worse than store ones cause you arn't right there).

But def. record it all.

Agreed. Completely. Record that shit!
I work customer service right now and when people yell i tend
to let them yell and then talk to them as if they hadn't just acted the fool,
which sometimes just pisses them off more. But hey I dont get paid to
soothe tantrums, I fill out forms and try to help people out.


Also, regarding mouses, my preferred way of killing them after gluing them
is to drown them in cold water. That way they get numb before they die
and it doesnt hurt much...I dont like to cause undue suffering, but the
mice are still going to die. It's damn near impossible to get those little
fuckers off the glue traps anyway...I just fill the big sink thing in the laundry
room of my building with cold water and drown the little guy then off to the
garbage with him(or her).

That new feature in football where you see the arrows and such underneath the players is green screen technology. The grass/astroturf is green, right? They might do something to the grass to help it out, but ultimately for this technology to work the surface just needs to be green. It's a pretty creative idea for football and a wonder it wasn't thought of earlier.

PS. I could be totally wrong, but it's the simplest solution. I can't find any official info on this. Anyone?
