So little creature, so much romance, and why so much hatred? No wonder mouse-land is filled with so many miserablly, miserablly and miserably deaths.

I’d like a refund on my Mouse-Land product please. The rodents are only dying miserably, which I think you’ll agree is vastly different from ‘miserably and miserably and miserably!’

(Oh my… where to begin? This is an instant classic Engrish IMHO.)

Mouse-Land: A well known scam for rats who think they won a vacation in a theme park. Expecting lots of fun, but ending up facing a multi-miserable death.

Of course, they should have figured out it was a scam (a.k.a trapsis)… Why would a RAT go to MOUSE-land? Let alone expecting “romantic night life”…

Rat A: Hey buddy, why do you look so miserable?
Rat B: I just came back from the vet… I got Trapsis Hormiess.
Rat A: No way!!! How did you get that?
Rat B: I went to Mouse-Land… you know… for “romantic night life” and “charming dashing habit”… *wink-wink notch-notch*
Rat A: I thought that Mouse-Land is a reputable… ahem… place!
Rat B: It used to be, but since the Power Gum Development took over things are sliding…
Rat A: You should have gone to Rat-Land, man… So, how bad is your TH?
Rat B: The vet said that I will die… miserably, three times!!!

Best one in many a moon. No way it’s simply a mouse pad. Great comments, all! Really Laughing Away into my keyboard. The cat is gloating mightily to know that the mice are going to die miserably miserably miserably.

i think this mouse trap causes the mice to hallucinate so much they think they’re 45 and living at home with their parents in the basement without a job. that would explain the miserably ^ 3 death.

It’s funny packaging and I rated it 5 stars for that but I do want to make a serious comment on how inhumane glue traps really are. “Miserably and Miserably and miserably die is a pretty good description of how trapped rodents die in these, stuck on a board, unable to move, they can get their mouth stuck on the adhesive and suffocate, they can starve to death, some rats will chew off their own legs in an attempt to escape. Nothing will ruin a romantic night more.

This is a glue pad that traps all the little worms on the floor, so the charming, dashing rat can call his girl over and have a romantic night life.

@Nonsuch: I’m not sure it’s worse than the “humane” traps some treehugger where I formerly worked insisted we use. They trapped the mice alive and then he would go around, collect them, and set the mice free outside (in the parking lot, where, of course, they would immediately run straight back inside).

Except he kinda forgot about some of them.

When my boss moved his furniture around, behind his credenza he discovered a humane trap with a tiny skeletal paw sticking out.
