Dear lord.

[venivici]

Fran, there is a rat in the apartment. Where is my rifle, dear?

No! Don't kill it!

[venivici]

I am afraid I have no choice.

[sohappyforyou]

You should catch it and set it free! It has a life too, you know!

[venivici]

Rats are the cause of thousands of deaths because of the simple fact that on their coats and in their blood, they carry many plagues. One has stormed my apartment as though it has good sense, and is eating my crackers. This is intolerable, and for the safety of the child in our stead, this must be dealt with accordingly.

I've little desire to see you blow holes in the walls.

[venivici]

I am hardly so cruel a shot.

I would wait it out to align with the refrigerator.

[e_meritus]

Would you plan to make a meal of it?

[venivici]

...please see my opinions above, dear.

[theotokos]

Rifle against such a small little thing? Isn't that a little messy -- or at least the soon-to-be results.

[venivici]

A bit overkill, perhaps, but have you another immediate solution other than fire?

[theotokos]

Not really, fire is nice, but it spreads too quickly.

Try Decon.

[venivici]

Decon.

You're using a rifle on a rat?

[venivici]

What of it?

[class1st]

Isn't that... iunno. A bit much? A slingshot might work better.

Someone's taking something so very seriously...
