Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Mousia

[perlmonger]

Yesterday there was a mouse head and a little pile of entrails on the patio. I suppose I should have disposed of the remains, but I regret to say that I couldn't be arsed.

Just now, I popped out to return Lilith's latest slowworm from the bottom of the stairs to the (relative) safety of inside the composter, and found a mouse head half way down the path. Oh, I thought, someone has been thwipping it, but no: the earlier head was still there by the patio table. The entrails? They're covered with (apparantly) masticating slugs. I hadn't realised slugs were carniverous...

I suppose we should celebrate the economy of resource the Denton sisters are expressing: in the Good Old Days before Lilietha, rodents were occasionally arranged into their constituent parts, but most often just, well, dead. Intact but dead.

No more.

Slugs will eat most things, including deceased slugs, cat vomit, half-decayed dead birds. You probably don't want to know how I know this.

I fear we *know* how you know this.
