Basement Beasties
The Animal Uprising™ Has developed a new weapon in their assault on humanity. The troglodyte deer.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - When Jody Fabry descended the basement stairs to her seasonal home and saw broken glass on the floor, then spied what caused the mess, she didn't know who was more frightened — her, or the deer that was the culprit.
A young doe apparently got into the basement through a window, then couldn't get out. Fabry called officers to her home, but it was more difficult than it looked to remove the animal.
They finally had to chase the burglar around and around until it made an escape through the window. However, we here at Blue Crab Boulevard do not believe the deer came in through the window. Since no tunnel was found, either, that can only mean one thing: they're in the sewers. We highly recommend doing what we here at the Crabitat have done. Duct tape the toilet lids down. It's the only sensible thing to do. And don't go into the basement, there might be a deer down there. Send a friend down to check.

As for animals infiltrating by way of the plumbing, some years back, my sis-in-law was scrubbing her bath tub when a snake crawled up from the drain. She went ballistic. She never bothered to turn the water off in the tub, she shut the door and stuffed a blanket in the crack under it. Then she called my brother and waited out on the front step for him to get home and take care of it. It was just a little old bull snake. They are not even poisonous.

Friends don’t let friends check basements! Haven’t you ever seen a horror movie, Gaius? (I know you have)
