THIS JUST IN!!!!

NUMER 4 HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND DISPOSED OF.

"KILL 'EM ALL!!!"

I don't live in filth.

I've been in houses that would be considered "living in filth" and trust me, I'm nowhere near that. Then why, oh why, do I have a mouse problem in every house I move into????!!!!

My first house was a townhouse in EHT. Things were great in that place until I was watching TV one night and I heard some noise coming from the kitchen. Sure enough there's a mouse rummaging around. SON OF A BITCH!!! Look, I'll be the first to say that I don't like rodents, I don't want to touch rodents, stay away from me and I'll stay away from you.

So I now need to go into hunter mode and for two days I try to trap this mouse. Finally he gets caught in a glue trap. The kind that is more of a tent. He's stuck inside this thing with his head sticking out. All I know is that HE MUST DIE!!! I have one of those big tupperware tubs nearby. The kind you use for storage. It's full and heavy. So I take this thing lift it up above my head.......right before this thing lands on "Mickey" I hear a little squeal....too late....one less mouse. I thought that would be it but nope.....apparantly he had an accomplice. I never got hold of him. I sold the house two months later. I wonder if the new owner ever got that bastard.

So now I'm living in the new house and one night I'm watching TV and guess what I hear? Yep.....ANOTHER FU***NG MOUSE!!!!!!! I immediately got out to the store....glue traps, snap traps, d-con...I got it all!! It took two days but he wound up in a glue trap overnight and died a slow, painful death.. What a waste...If he had only stayed out.....

So flash forward to this past weekend... I find mouse poop in the silverware drawer. For thoses who don't know, mouse poop looks like chocalate"jimmies" you put on a cake. HERE WE GO AGAIN!! I clear out the drawer and put a glue trap in it with a dab of peanut butter in the middle (oh, it works). About 6 hours later there he is trapped and looking to die. That takes care of that. I put another trap there just in case......good thing I did.....three hours later we have another mouse!!!!! JESUS F'N CHRIST!!!!!! So I get rid of him and put another trap there and this morning I come downstairs and look in the drawer...guess what....YEP!!!!MOUSE NUMBER 3!!!!!!! What the hell is going on?????

Here's my theory......

Behind my house are some trees and bushes, on the other side of that brush is a toll booth, or was a toll booth it's been taken down. The highway(parkway) has also been broken up. In this moving of the Earth the mice were sent scurrying and wound up at my house.

Last I heard a fourth mouse had not been seen, trapped, witnessed, etc.

Good Thing!!

I SEND THIS OUT TO THE REST OF THE MOUSE COMMUNITY:


THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!!!!

GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

I'm making money with this toll booth change!!!!

Alright, so I live in Seaville. Great town. Now, I work in West Atlantic City. It's a half hour drive to work. Obviously, I'm taking the Parkway. I leave my house, go up to Marmora(via rte. 9), get on the parkway there, go up to Exit 36 then take the Black Horse Pike to work. One toll, right at Somers Point. Used to be the same route home but now with the toll booth change things have changed.

If you live in a cave I'll fill you in. Depending on which toll booth you're at depends on whether you have to stop and pay as most toll booths on the Parkway are transitioning to one way tolls(70 cents at one time instead of 35 cents twice).

So anyway, going to work I now only pay 70 cents at the Somers Point area toll on the way home. I would always get off at the Marmora exit because I wasn't going to pay for the toll by Sea Isle. Now however Southbound at that Sea Isle toll is free. Now I can continue to zip down the Parkway get off at the Sea Isle exit and drive 2 miles to Seaville on Rte. 9 and I'm home.

How am I making money? Well, of course, it's figuratively. Because I'll never drive down to the Sea Isle on ramp to go TO work I'll never pay the Northbound 70 cent toll. But, I'll always pass through going south and it won't cost me!!!!

I LOVE BEING CHEAP!!!!!

ROCK ON!!!

'NUFF SAID!!

The Velvet Revolver show SUCKED....and here's why!!!

Happy New Year everybody. I guess it's time I get back to updating this "blog" thing more often. And what a topic to start with.

Alright, so it's December 30th, my birthday begins at midnight, so I'm ready to get fired up at a quality rock show. I get to Borgata with some time to spare so I sit down at a slot machine. Literally 2 SPINS LATER I'm up 40 bucks. Sweet...my beers are now paid for. Cash Out!!!! The old guy next to me must have been pissed. Win and gone...that's how I roll!!!

So then I head up to the show. It's all been established ahead of time. NO OPENING ACT AND SHOWTIME IS 8 PM. Being that this is a concert it's a given that 8:15 or so is when the show will start. 8:15 comes and goes.....8:30 comes and goes.....8:45 comes and goes 9:00....9:10.....9:15.....9:20.....you've got to be f'n kidding me........9:30.....9:45 the lights go down. An hour and 45 minutes from the advertised showtime!!!!! I half expected AXL ROSE to show up.

So VR starts to play and it's just loud. Scott Weiland's voice is getting lost in the mix(not to mention he's dressed like the gay biker grom the village people), Slash just appears to be noodling away, overall a very shaky start.

Here's the real problem. Velvet Revolver was a great band on paper. Take one part S.T.P. and three parts GNR put them together and it's rock and roll heaven, right???WRONG!!! While "Fall to Pieces" and "Slither" are good songs the rest of the CONTRABAND album is filled with songs that may "rock" but are not catchy in any way. That does not translate well in a live setting. All you had to do was look around at the crowd. All the band was getting was the courtesy clap at the beginning and end of the song with blank stares in the middle. The only time the level got above tepid was when they broke out a GNR or STP song."It's So Easy""MR. Brownstone""Sex Type Thing" all got a bit of a frenzy going but then it's back to a CONTRABAND song and the energy would take a nosedive.

So, and hour and 15 minutes go by and guess what .....it's over!!!(not that I was all that upset). But I didn't pay for my ticket!!! At $100 a pop I would have wanted more....lots more!!!!

So overall on a scale of 1 to 10......it's only a 1...I really was that dissapointed.

Ohwell, here's to better concerts in 2006!!!

Rock On!!
