Are you kiddin? I grew up in Pearland, we used to find those suckers hanging out in sewers and under rocks and crap like that all the time. Along with the disgusting poo colored toads you mentioned and those lizards that seem to be everywhere. All of which were kept as temporary pets of course.
Don't know if this counts or not, but over the weekend I was at a friend's house playing Halo when one of us saw a mouse run through the den. He'd gotten away a couple of nights before, and since he'd been eating their food all semester they wanted to get him really bad. Anyway, we chased him into the kitchen where I heard him behind the fridge. I started to pull the fridge out while my stick wielding friends wait, when one of them thinks he sees him run out. As they tore up the adjoining rooms trying to find him; I pulled the fridge the rest of the way out and saw him running along a ledge behind some of the pipes on the fridge. I called my friends back into the kitchen, and one of them goes around behind the fridge, when the mouse darts out and runs back into the den. As soon as he enters the den, one of the guys breaks a walking stick into over the mouse's back and kills him with an amazing shot. Easily the weirdest way I've ever seen a mouse killed.
Why is the image of a bunch of guys playing HALO shooting lasers and throwing grenades etc., then suddenly thrown into the real world chasing a mouse with sticks so funny to me.
Ouch! I'm trying to catch this baby bunny with my hands while my wife screams, "Go get 'im, Crocodile Hunter...."
That is suddenly funny. I would like to point out that I was the only one among them not carrying a stick; when they started swinging I didn't want to be anywhere near...
Wasn't my house or my food, I didn't care. Overall, I found it more funny then anything and didn't think they had a chance.
A few years back I was living in Cameroon. Now I know Africa is mostly a Third World continent,but there are some big 'civilized' cities over there. Anyways,I was working in a company based on the ground floor of a building just on the edge of a swamp. Everyday office workers kept complaining about loud noises coming from the air systems in the ceilings. To sort out the problem guys from the pest control are called to inspect the pipes.And as they open the gate from one of the offices(mine of course ),a 12 feet long snake rolls out of the air vent. Can u imagine I had been working for over a week with a 12 feet boa over my head! But the funniest part of the story is that after having captured and killed it,every employee got his share to bring home and eat! I guess that's what u can call getting ur 'snakes' share! HA HA HA! Ok,Not funny... ALA
ducks hump in my back yard all the time. i'll try to get pics... ...stay tuned oh yeah, i ran over and killed a big ass snake monday night.
