Mouse trap draft!

Before i get into the oh so exciting game of mouse trap, i will first talk about a purchase of mine that i made today.

My computer for the past few days has been crashing non stop, i will load it up, crash 20 minutes later, then wont restart for hours. This continued for a few days, until i said fuck it im buying a new computer. Im fairly certain my computer is having overheating problems, as the fan is broke. But the harddrive sucks too, its almost 4 years old, its time for a new one.

So i went to office max first, and was sold on this computer. its a HP, it has a AMD Athlon quad core processor, 750 GB of harddrive space, 8 GB of system memory, a DVD drive, etc. It also came with a decent 20 inch LCD monitor. After taxes + the 2 year warranty, i ended up spending a little over 900$. A great fucking deal imo. I hooked up my 23 inch samsung monitor to it instead of the 20 inch that came with it, but i plan on fixing my old computer sometime soon, and using the 20 inch for that whenever i decide to do that. I played some poker tonight + surfed web etc, and the computer is super fast and im pretty happy with it. Windows 7 is also loads better then vista, so thats nice as well.

Now for a game my roommates and I are going to be playing. To make a long story short, we have mice in our place, our landlord is ignoring us, so we decide we are going to get rid of them earlier today. Its kind of bullshit that Jason won't answer us about the mice, but he seems like a lazy fuck so go figure. Whatever though, its just mice, harmless things that will run if they see you.

We decided to do a mouse trap draft. 12 Mouse traps, and we drew names out of a hat to decide who gets to pick first, and the person with the first pick gets to pick first on where he wants his first trap, n so on. so the order went like this

Dave
Adam
Me
Me
Adam
Dave
ETC


We put peanut butter on all of them and placed them in our spots, which were mostly next to vents because thats where the mice are living. At first we were going to do the person who catches the most in 1 week wins, but Dave does not want to re use his traps at all, he just wants them thrown away once it kills a mouse. So instead we are going to do first to catch 4 mice, 1 in each trap, wins. You can move traps that haven't caught any mice to other spots that have caught mice if you want too as well. We all put a few dollars in each and the winner will win the pot, just to make it more fun and competitive lol.

I can't wait till i wake up in the morning to see how bad of a problem we actually have. If all 12 traps have mice in them, i will shit myself. I know that mice reproduce super fast so if theres mice living in our house, which we are like 99.9 sure that there is, the chances that theres a ton of them are pretty high, unless they just started living here like less than a month ago.

Should be a good time though, at least i have roommates that are laid back enough, like myself, to get a kick out of playing a game that involves catching mice that live in the same house we do, cant put a price on that.
