11033. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:03:02 PM Sounds like our friend Louie from Detroit who suddenly grabbed a mushroom from under a tree one time and bit a big chunk out of it. Bob about had a heart attack. Luckily it didn't do anything to him.
We've seen way more than usual, I guess due to how wet it's been. That's the closest to the house, though. Ugh. 11034. angel-five - 8/19/2004 12:04:46 PM Arky: All I can say is thank god it didn't get into your car. They like the inside of cars for some reason, I guess because it's a steadier temperature. 11035. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:08:36 PM I've heard that. No more putting my car windows down in there. Of course now the neurotic in me will worry one's already stowed in there somewhere.
Bro did find a black widow in my car one time--on the visor. He and a friend had borrowed it.
I think I'd rather have the snake. 11036. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:11:05 PM All that reminds me, I had one of the most stressful drives home on my commute I've had (been there 15 years or so, minus one). It didn't storm--no wind or hail--but the rain was unreal. I would have pulled over if there had been a shoulder anywhere. You remember that road, Judith? It really has no good place to pull over for most of the commute, though there are plenty of side roads I could have turned off on, I guess. 11037. angel-five - 8/19/2004 12:12:15 PM You should be all right, seriously. They get under the seat and mostly stay there unless something agitates them. 11038. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:14:04 PM You're just a real funny fella. 11039. angel-five - 8/19/2004 12:15:32 PM You know I was totally bullshitting about them liking the inside of cars, right? 11040. Halo - 8/19/2004 12:17:16 PM They are supposed to be more scared of you than you are of them. I guess snakes are unaware that they can kill you in 30 seconds or they wouldn't be so jittery. 11041. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:18:19 PM No, actually I did think I'd heard that before, but I think it's radiators.
If I had sense in my phobias I'd be more scared just walking around. I have come very close to stepping on one before. 11042. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:20:40 PM They are supposed to be more scared of you than you are of them.
The problem with snakes (aside from many of the harmless ones, it seems) is that they're so hard to see. People around here get snakebit from picking berries and clearing fence rows and stuff like that. But it's still very rare. 11043. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:23:39 PM Well, I think it's bath and bedtime for me.
Can't imagine what my dreams are going to be like. Heh.
Catch y'all later! 11044. angel-five - 8/19/2004 12:24:19 PM Arky -- Keep a pig in your garage. 11045. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:26:08 PM Hmmm. I already know where there's a pig in distress. I'll be like the old woman that swallowed the fly. 11046. Halo - 8/19/2004 12:26:17 PM If it's so rare why is there are word just for it? There's no dogbit or horsebit (ok there is a horse bit but that's not the same and just confusing the issue). 11047. Magoseph - 8/19/2004 12:27:27 PM Halo, welcome, when did you get here, today? 11048. Halo - 8/19/2004 12:28:44 PM Today, a few days ago, last year, it's all relative. 11049. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:30:35 PM (waiting on Bob to get off the phone)
Halo,
Because the fear of it is common.
"Don't play out in them weeds, you'll get snakebit!" 11050. Magoseph - 8/19/2004 12:30:38 PM I hope that you stay a while anyway. 11051. Halo - 8/19/2004 12:33:31 PM Is the past tense snakebited or snakebut? 11052. Halo - 8/19/2004 12:34:44 PM I'll linger - if only because the time on the posts matches my real time for a change.
