So I caught a mouse.....

Saw a mouse scampering around my garage so I got some glue traps. A little bit of peanut butter and within 45 mins I caught the sucker. His hind legs were stuck to the trap and he was bodyboarding around with his front legs. I took the trap and tossed it in the trash.
So I wake up later in the night by my dogs barking. I go down to the garage to check it out and lo and behold one of his buddies was trying a jail break and couldn't get out of the trash can (one of those rubbermaid round trash cans)! As soon as I lifted the top he took off. Mouse #1 was still in the bottom (fresh bag) twitching around. I left another trap (pack of 4!) with some more PB in the same spot.
30 minutes later I hear a "pop" sound which most likely came from the fireplace, but I go downstairs to check it out anyway. The trap I just put out 30 minutes prior is GONE but mouse #1 is still hanging out in the trash. I checked around a bit but couldn't find mouse #2 (he couldn't have gone far, stuck to the trap).
Fast forward to this morning. Still no mouse #2. Mouse #1 made a jailbreak - the trap is still in the trash but no mouse!
It's all out war now.... put down the second 2 traps - let's see if I catch anything! Hopefully my idiot dogs don't get stuck in the traps.

For the kind of "mouse trap" where they eat some poison crap, then go off and die somewhere: what happens to their dead bodies?
My friend uses these, and she thinks they kind of "disintegrate" I think they lay there and rot in your walls or attic. And I'm not going to google, I'm at work - so yes, my google is broken.
Anyone who microwaves live lizards needs their lights knocked out. Unless a kid does it, they just don't know any better - but if I was caught doing that as a kid, my parents would have been furious. And rightly so.

Went to facebook and there is a Barry L that is friends with a friend.
I'm trying to see if my mouse waterboarding is working like I hoped.
Hopefully their squeeks are less ohmygod save me baby mouse jesus and more if you stop I'll leave and never come back.
How's about trolls?
Should we starve them, or should we feed them?
I've can never remember that saying. Is it "Starve a troll, feed a beaver," or is it "Feed a troll, starve a beaver"?
