I am the bringer of death! No, seriously.

Every time my friend goes on holidays, he gets me to house sit his mini-zoo (rats, birds, cats, dog and rabbit. Used to have fish but they dissapeared under mysterious circuimstances

)

And everytime, something dies. So far I have 4 rats and and 1 or 2 fish on my kill list.

Tonight I came in for feeding time only to find one of the birds pushing up daisies. To my credit, I handn't oficially started house sitting until tonight but it's still creepy.

sounds like he needs a new friend to house-sit

He probably needs an arcade cab in his house to get rid of the bad luck , then and only then will we all live happy long lives , animals too ,

Does MAME on a crappy PC count as a pseudo-cab?

Care to take a trip across the pond? I've got several plants in my friggen house that I could use your "talents" for

missioncontrol · « **Reply #5 on:** March 19, 2005, 09:54:56 am »

maybe you could use your "talents" to start a business house-sitting ex-wifes......

I hear Peale is looking for someone like you to house-sit his wife's boss

Harry Potter · « **Reply #6 on:** March 19, 2005, 11:27:19 am »

OK but my rates ain't cheap and I only do plants for double price.

In Peale's case however, I'm willing to do it for free.

You friend should have known when you came to the house with a miniature smothering pillow and a short length of piano wire. Coincidence my foot.

Want to feel better? I was over at my buddy's house the other day, and while were admiring the new french doors he installed, his son let his hamster "Hammy" (real name

) out of his cage. Well doesn't he follow the cute little rodent right up to the back of my foot. Long story short, they now call me CRUNCH at the office (as in "mommy, I heard it go crunch!"). Now to make it worse, my friend is an ex Philadelphia Flyer, and about 6'5" to boot. So I had to quickly balance "damn I stepped on that F!@#ing rodent didn't I?" with "oops, are the gloves about to come off?".

Nothing quite like fresh hamster goo on your argyles. Ugh.

Still, stop killing those animals. you freak.

You should cook the bird and eat it. With a nice chianti.

Don't worry, most of those are "disposable" pets. If you can get a replacement animal where the owner can't tell the difference then it not quite a real pet. And if the owner can tell the difference between his old rat and a replacement rat then he probably has more problems than a dead rat anyway.

You should sell yourself on eBay. Haunted things fetch quite a bounty it seems

We don't need a Robert Blake or Scott Peterson on this board...

so what your saying is that he'd have a 50 - 50 chance of being set free

I guess I could put in an extra effort and tip the odds to 90 - 10. The only drawback is I'd need years of intensive therapy afterwards.

Rats only live 2 maybe 3 years tops. You're just unlucky that they met their demise when you were there.
