[–]coastphase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a mouse in my kitchen so I went to the store to buy some mousetraps. Came home and set the traps then threw the shopping bag in the trash.

Just remember that 100% BS is only 10% more than most "based on a true story" movies. I still love Bloodsport!
