The mighty hunter....

[missmanners]

An hour or so ago I saw a centipede run under my bed. a HUGE one!!! This mild weather has all kinds of critters out and about. I even saw worms crawling on my wet driveway this morning.

NOWAI!!! Can I sleep with anything with that many legs in the same house .... so I got my million candlepower spotlight and a can of compressed air (I thought the 12 guage might be a bit much) and stalked that sucker till I got him!!

Bet I itch half the night now.

I can relate to this. We get scorpions and snakes here in the summer. You have to be careful. You can't leave food out for more than about 10 minutes either for obvious reasons.

Bet I itch half the night now.

It's the ones you didn't see that will crawl all over your back while you're sleeping.

A couple years ago, before I was sorta wealthy, The Harlot and I stopped at a crappy motel on a long drive. I was exhausted. So I'm in bed and I keep feeling something crawling really fast over my feet and toes. What the hell? I'm under the covers, tight.

SHIT!

Couldn't figure it out until I passed out for about the sixth time and woke up suddenly to see a cockroach staring at me on my pillow about 6 inches from my eye.

Little fucker was waving at me. Then I felt the crawling things on my feet again. I flew outta bed (The Harlot was still up) and grabbed one of my size 12 shoes and went to town. I beat the one cockroach about thirteen times until he finally started twitching.

I flung back the covers and the cockroaches started scrambling. I was a half-naked wild man with bulging eyes, a snarl, and a boat for a shoe.

Slept on the bed with all the covers off.

Figured out later that the roaches were snug under the mattress where it rested on the tucked bedsheets. They'd crawl up and do the Indy 500 over my feet.

This guy in Burlington had a fucking scorpion sting him while he was on the plane flying in on the plane this past week. I guess he was in Texas or someplace.
