Lightning Rod Gets The Zot

[Anoreth]

But useful for creating Ultimate Death Machines to scare the cat with. Way better than Legos, since they don’t fall apart as easily.
Not as much fun as Power Destroyer, but still enjoyable.

[Anoreth]

I bought this game called ‘Arcania.’ Seems to be one of the usual ‘hack at monsters with swords’ type rpgs. Might be good.

[Tax-chick]

We have a mouse in the kitchen. I’m not sure if it’s under the refrigerator or under the stove. Shannon and Jake are acting confused. I’m sure Susan could handle it, but we’d never get her out of the innards of the appliances.

[Darksheare]

Haven’t messed with it yet myself.

[Anoreth]

You could let the dragons after it. Santana is probably big enough to eat a mouse, or at least to chase it from under the furniture so Jake can.
Shannon is probably too important to catch mice.

[Tax-chick]

Shannon is offended by the smell of Mouse and the sound of gnawing. Jake just looks dumb. Santana is too snoozy to do anything with a rodent; it’s dragons’ nap time.

[Darksheare]

My sister had a cat named Shadow who was afraid of mice.
They squeaked and smelled funny, there was NO way he was going to touch one of THOSE things with his manly paws.

[Anoreth]

You could microwave him briefly to get his blood pumping again, and then send him off under the stove. Undoubtedly he transforms into a mutant creature if his brain is stimulated enough.

[Anoreth]

Jake or Santana. Slash, of course, is Inferior.

[Tax-chick]

Microwaving Santana has potential, in the science-experiment department ... but dang it, he’s a $300 reptile now! I’d rather sell him!

If the mouse doesn’t hit the trap behind the refrigerator or run afoul of a cat in the next few days, I’ll call the exterminator.

[Anoreth]

He might grow wings or poison claws or something interesting.

[Darksheare]

Armor plating.

On an aside, once I’m done rescuing the rabbitoids, should I have some retire to the Aussie outback as an in joke?

[Anoreth]

I saw a Survivorman show about the outback. They’d be eaten by wild dogs or something. Not fair to the rabbits.

[Tax-chick]

The rabbitoids are 6-1/2 feet tall. They could clobber some dingoes ...

But they might be in competition with kangaroos, which would be unfortunate for someone.

[Tax-chick]

He might grow wings or poison claws

Oh, what fun!

And he already has armor plating and spikes all over. Picture a very small triceratops ...

[Darksheare]

Crunch would clobber the dingos with another dingo that happened to get within grabbing distance.
The other normal sized [the 6.5 footers] rabbitoids would stock up on weaponry.

They might wonder at the kangas.
Hmm.

[Darksheare]

Armor plating that is much much thicker.

[Anoreth]

At least he would be more interesting. And maybe do something other than lie around sleeping with periodic breaks to admire his reflection.

[Tax-chick]

Well, he’s male.

If your dad would leave him alone, he would go in his burrow until March. Slash is more active; I think it’s because he gets afternoon sunlight. He sits on his rocks posing until sunset, and then crawls under a rock.

Don’t think I’ll lose data. I backed up the machine hours before it failed. Besides, the IT guy said lady week he could see the data, only the one dll is damaged or gone.
