Gruesome Fridge
today i had the immense pleasure of completing the cleansing of our garage refridgerator. i started on it last night, but today i did most of the work. now, cleaning a fridge this old is quite an adventure. in the freezer of course there were the typical things like bags of old frozen blueberries, a discolored ziplock full of water (why would you freeze a bag of water? please tell me if you have some ideas). but also there was a jar with a baby mouse in it. and a powdered milk container with a sealed plastic lid with a full-grown mouse in it. don't worry yourself about where they came from. and don't tell anyone who might buy the fridge that they were in there. then when i hit the actual refridgerator part i thought everything was going to be fine. think again... when i pulled out the drawers to clean them i discovered what was underneath. i swear it was an 8th of an inch of gooey sludge. ahhhh *gack* so i had to loosen it up with water and then scrape it with a metal scraper. what i say is, whoever buys this for $100 is getting a screaming deal. it's all sparkly now!
papa and i played with the frizbee today. it was quite fun, but the heat of this place is becoming apparent. i think my fore-hand throw improved by about 100% today just because i worked on something that a guy on the team showed me at the end of our last practice. it was the first time for me to put the new technique in action and WHOA! it really makes a difference.
turns out i got $30 for my train set at the garage sale. talk about another screamin' deal. i know there's several pieces of hobby material in that box that i spent at least that much money on, or that someone who gave it to me spent that much on, and they go the whole box full for that much. but some of it needed work, and i can't say i know how to fix it. spent many hours trying, but no. since i never get it out anymore, and it's just been sitting in a shelf collecting dust, i'm glad to have it off my hands and have the money in hand.
i couldn't help chuckling over this one.

Sounds like the poor little mice wandered into the wrong place.
they did.
Oooohh.
pretty much a concentration camp type setting.
Only worse. One rat survived for about a week in the freezer before he succumbed.
Okay... Took me forever just to find this darn place, & now I gotta get back to work. I'll stop by later & check your site out. Here's a link to my LJ:

OK, OK Evan. Thanks for all the gory details.
whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! hey now, that is totally not true. there is no such thing as any super-rat that has ever survived a week my freezer. some of the hidden evils of rodent slave trade have been exposed, but fabrications are not allowed! *grins*
I know he was still moving after 3 days, at least.
Uh, I was just about to get all ewwied out about the fridge, but I... er... had heard all that stuff before. (Comes from knowing quirky when he was... er... 11.)
er... er...er... you know, if you put enough of those together you could sound like a rooster. er...er er...er eeeerrrrrrrrr!!!
