Years ago had a jar of opened peanut butter go bad in the pantry.

Marked up the label and put jar in hardware/junk drawer as bait for mouse traps.

Well, as more years pass, have slowly whittled away at amount in jar (even passed along a big blob to a friend with a serious garage mouse invasion force to deal with) and tonite I baited a trap to put in basement, JIC, and boy, opened that damn jar, and I'm not sure what's in there now is any where close to what God had in mind when He ordained peanut butter.

Jesus, it be NASTY.

Anyhow, the disturbing mouse factoid is:

The damn stuff not only still works, I think it works BETTER.


Jaysus, how fucked up are their damn little taste buds (and little noses!) to perceive that rancid brown shit slime as some good eatin' ??

[shudder]

Something about smells really tantalizes them. This reminds me of the Swamp People episode, where they use stinky alligator bait. One hunter had bait that was so bad he gagged while using it. Stanky peanut butter just draws them in from farther away.

How about how repulsive we heterosexual males find the the idea of engaging in any kind of sex with another man? It's how our brain's are wired.

We can't empathize about how your brain is wired but we can use our intellect to overcome our revulsion. We accept and embrace who you are based on intellectual principles, not emotional ones.

Perhaps you should pay the mouse the same courtesy.

or stomp on 'em for trying to steal my bag of chocolate chips !!

Well why don't I try to stomp you? What makes you any more worthy?

I have a receipt for the chocolate chips.

Oh, cute.

I guess my point of extending acceptance to those who are different from you - especially when others are doing the same for you - rates nothing more than clever retorts.

Mice are definitely lower life forms compared to humans but they are also definitely sufficiently advanced to feel suffering. If you don't respect that of them, why should I give a shit about people persecuting you for your absolutely disgusting (from my emotional point of view) desire to - uhhh, I don't even want to put it into writing?

You are entitled to demand acceptance (or at least respect) for your differences of which you have no control over and I'm fully on-board with that. But what's that expression about a man living in a glass house throwing stones?

You want respect about who you are? A good place to start is to demonstrate respect for creatures who are what they are through no choice of their own.
