Update
The existence of The Mouse has been upgraded from "Alleged" to "Actual". Either that, or I have joined Simon off the deep end.

Monday mornining:
Me: "Hey Joops, how was your weekend?"
Joopiter: "Uh .. okay, I guess. Spent it on the couch."
Me: "Oh, you mean just laying around, watching DVDs?"
Joopiter [rubbing bleary eyes]: "No . .. I mean, literally on the couch with Simon, armed with wooden spoons and wire whisks and just generally cowering together, jumping at every sound. Eventualy we made a bridge to the door with cushions and were able to escape around 3:17 am this morning. We then slept in our cars till daybreak, at which time we then torched our apartment building. Then I came here, took a French shower in the ladies' room and laughed uncontrollably for half an hour. Wanna get coffee?"
And like I said earlier, don't waste your time with the glue traps -- the only things that work are the old-school wire snap traps. Vicious, maybe. Effective, yes.
For the record, I was here alone when I saw it and there was no leaping on the couch or cowering in the corner. There was a very calm and orderly redistribution of the traps to where The Mouse was last seen.
Now if it was a SPIDER that would be an entirely different story.
I am the psycho screaming cowerer, and don't you forget it! Joop is my courageous roommate who talks me down from the couch.
I enjoyed reading the "alleged" mouse story as well as this. I too have had to fight the only-visible-by-me-mouse. Thankfully we had a humane trap that with a few little bits of doritos was able to lure it into it. I don't know if anyone remebered to release poor mousey back into the "wilds"....hmmmm.
