yeah the adults you can gas with CO2 but the pinkies will not die easily that way and after a few mins come right back to life. I prefered to kill the adults using cervical dislocation (breaking their necks) as is was much quicker and they didn't panick like they do with the gas. That technique takes some practice though and if you are timid at all about it then don't do it.

She dropped a fucking brick on 'em, I don't think timidity is the problem.

I bought a old Jawa 250 at a swap meet . Dude said it didn't run. I cleaned out the carb and the tank, put in a new plug and kicked the hell out of it.

I thought the motor was stuck...

After the 28,000th kick, a family of mice shot out the exhaust, and hit my girlfriend in the knee.

She ended up dumping me, but that bike ran great.

I'm only creeped out by the crunch/swish on the bottom of my foot. It wasn't so much the feeling as the fact that I didn't expect it.

I've found that covers during long term storage are a bad idea for 3 things: snowmobiles, BBQ grills, and motorcycles... I used to have a problem every spring with mice in the "trunk" of my bike every year... until I stopped putting the cover on.

...had to go check the bike in the storage unit 3 miles away. Found some pellets but no critters and the bike seems healthy enough. Even took her for a spin around the parking lot. I'll be checking on her at least once a week now!

This thread = yuk!!!!!
