I think we should take this movement and run with it with our favorite chain sit down restaurant.

I would like to get the ball rolling with Chuys for food and BJs Brewhouse for dessert- those Pizookie though !!

I just spent the last hour attempting to remove a bat from my guest bedroom. I went to the bathroom to fill up my water after one of those particularly dire times waking up and just needing water and I heard a repetitive scratching at the door. Knowing my cat was not trapped in the bedroom as it was in my own room, I knew something alive was in there that shouldn’t be.

Now the unfortunate part is I had been slightly inebriated at a party earlier and awoke still not entirely sober, so my brain jumped to “there’s a terrifying goblin in there” not “oh an animal got in because you literally live in a cabin in the woods” so after standing there for probably 7.5 minutes completely frozen expecting some hellspawn to flatten itself out and slide under the gap in the door, I decided that I was being ridiculous and I needed to go in. I opened the door, saw the bat making circles around the room, and I bailed, not wanting to get rabies tonight.

As I am nowhere near a community animal catcher or pest control person and the fact that I am also an animal person who has previously worked with bats (though not the small rabies kind, the big dumb fruit bat kind) I needed to take matters into my own hands.

I attempted my extraction at first when I noticed the little guy was clinging to a window screen I took out because I have the AC in (it likely entered through a gap between the AC and the wall) so I entered before startling it and sending it into a flying frenzy, repeatedly circling the room as I worried it was going to either end up near me or would get whacked by the fan that was going, neither of which I particularly wanted. I had to retreat from the battleground and come up with a new strategy to take on my winged foe.

As this bedroom has two doors, one into the main hall and one into the bathroom, and the bathroom has two doors, one into the bedroom and one into the hall, I decided to remove the screen from the bathroom window, open the door leading into the bedroom, and close the door from the hall, creating a pathway for the creature to follow in a hasty retreat. I also turned the lights on in the bedroom so as to cause the creature discomfort where it would want to move into the dark bathroom for safety and it would then find the open window.

To ensure my trap was effective, I flanked the beast, coming in from the hallway entrance to the bedroom, wielding a bucket helmet to protect my head and my sword (broom) for local defense. From entering the room, I saw no sign of the creature remaining, so once I swept the room and determined it was clear, I closed the door leading into the bathroom where the window remained open. Now, with hopes the bat has left the house for freedom into the cool crisp night air, I leave the bathroom doors closed in the off chance it hides in there where I will check in the morning and remove the sleepy bat should I need to.

These have been my 2-3 am exploits while recovering from recreational brain manipulation by use of substances. PerGron’s Bat Removal is now offering our services so give us a call if you got bats in your room. And don’t, I repeat don’t, buy a cabin in the woods in Maine for your home, it’s not worth it

Not making fun of you, but a bat encounter during SAU seems fitting.

This feels like an appropriate time to post this piece from one of the team messages!

So, @MonorailRed replied to @ThemeParkPriest asking about SAU EPCOT.
