***Ahh. I see. Still don't think it's a good idea.  That's EXTREMELY trivial, far too much so for mention I think.  If we do that for the Elf, then why not for every other mouse?  Since it's still part of the game and not a prize mouse, there's really nothing special about catching the last one of the year. If it was the last Elf mouse ever caught, maybe, but unless they're being permanently retired (like the iTunes Mouse) I don't think the last one of the season merits mention, either. (I'm making the ASSUmption, of course, that they'll be back again next winter.) --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 14:12, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
