Holly crap, didn't think anyone really would look at it.

Had spintraps in every booth, yet we had fun with the ones caught - flush them down the booth toilets (since they were the power water type and we'd soap up the bowl so they had no chance of jumping out), Pull the handle and send them to their watery graves ...  |  IP: Logged Wyatt Copeland Film Handler Posts: 74 From: Gettysburg, PA, USA Registered: Aug 2007 posted 08-19-2007 10:48 PM                     Ok I uploaded some: Fur EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 08-20-2007 12:19 AM                    I don't see a mouse.

I see some dirt hanging on a projector. When I was cleaning it up I wished it was just dirt! And Phil, I certainly didn't push it. I walk down the end of the hall to start the movie again for the next round and there it is in all its glory. I'm just glad it hadn't somehow made it into the lamphouse and cooked itself. Course, on those long all day shifts where I have to babysit a film due to some evil Christie platter problems and I can't get out to go get something to eat, the cooked mouse mignt have been a welcomed incident  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-20-2007 07:18 PM                     Don't let Emma hear about that!!  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-21-2007 01:15 AM                        I don't understand. What shredded it? Did it commit suicide? It looks like it jumped into a meat grinder....or got its tail caught in the intermittent! Dumb ass mouse.  |  IP: Logged Wyatt Copeland Film Handler Posts: 74 From: Gettysburg, PA, USA Registered: Aug 2007 posted 08-21-2007 02:52 PM                     I'm really not sure. I wish I knew. Still smells strange, but I can't find any more pieces or anything left to clean.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-21-2007 03:05 PM                     I think this smiley will get lots of use in this thread. That picture is nasty. LOL  |  IP: Logged John T.
