They could have fitted the whole ring / tape / mouse assembly into a small paper bag Aragorn could have kept it in his jacket and fed it little bits of lembas on the way how lovely x

The mouse definitely would have escaped and ran straight to Sauron.

That, or Boromir would FUCK THAT MOUSE UP and take the ring for himself

The ring can obviously influence people around the ringbearer and not just the ringbearer themselves, as seen by Boromir and Faramir being tempted by it and Smeagle killing his friend for it.

Hobbits are just very good natured and resistant to the evil influence of the ring, especially Sam it seems

Now I'm picturing Boromir cornering the mouse, drawing his sword, and stating "thou hast squeaked thy last squeak" as the mouse runs back and forth in the corner, trying to escape.

It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.

Gollum popping the whole mouse into his face, ring and all, before swan diving into Mt. Doom

Yep. This particular configuration only works because of Sam's devotion to Frodo.

We need more configurations.
