wuss! i'm sure it's still alive, anti. have you heard of the "roach minus the head" urban legend (or is it a fact)? roaches freak me out man. here in georgia, they call them palmeto bugs. they are huge as f*** here. when you try to swing at them, they fly towards you... all the time. when i was taking a shower once, i was washing my face and i felt something crawling on my back. i ignored it... just thinking that it was the water or something. then when i felt it again, i opened my eyes forgetting that i had soap in them and there was a roach flying around the shower with the curtain closed making it hard to get out. then i looked up where the wall meets the ceiling and there were two more just standing there. this was some scary schit... seriously. i was swinging my wash cloth with soap in my eyes trying to kill them and at the same time trying to to slip and break my neck. there is now masking tape across the ceilings of my bathroom where it meets the walls. spiders freak me out too. i hate walking face first into a web and you arms start flailing trying to get the webs off of you and hoping that the spider managed not to get on you. then people from a distance notice you and think you're a complete tard or something. sucks horribly. bad thing about being in georiga is all the damn trees=a schit load of bugs. take my advice. don't move here! by the way, congrats on 1000 coma
Awww, shucks. Thx OS. I'm going to have to make a run for the border to celebrate this momentous day.
Small animals and large insects. (I am afraid to touch my kids' pet hamster.) OS, a flying roach while taking a shower is one of the most hair-raising things in the world!
you're telling me? schit, man. it can't get any worse than that. another part that i hate is when you actually have to kill the roach. when you step on it, it makes that sound... you know... the sound when you burst a bubble on one of those plastic packaging wrap things? it's pretty gross. then you get all of the white cheesy stuff on the bottom on your shoe mixed with a chocolate-glaze looking substance. terrible.
Duh. Seriously, I worry about getting stung by bugs(wasps/bees/etc). Especially after my cousin had an alergic reaction and almost died a while back. I hate cockroaches, I don't fear them, I put the fear, "en em".
AntiSonic, If you touch me..im gonna bite the hell out of you....bring it on mamas boy....bring it on!!!!
fellas, go out and buy one (or some) of those plug-in electronic insect repellants from your local hardware store. they really do work. put one in every room and you WILL NOT find ANY spiders, flys, roaches, etc. in that room for AT LEAST six months. they run about $8-10 a piece and are well worth it.
you know what? this reminded me of something. one of my childhood horrors. did any of you see that movie "creepshow"? well, there was one story in there about a guy living in an apartment that depised bugs. in the end, the guy ended up being stuck in one of the rooms with probably a million roaches crawling out all parts of his body. (hmmm... when i typed that last sentence, i just thought of the guy in india that pissed beetles.) argh... sick.
I'm afraid of buttons. Yes, buttons. They are scary. I got one stuck up my nose when I was 5 and I dont wear them except on special occasions. Curses to buttons.
I hate pretty much all insects, especially wasps and roaches. I am also scared of rodents. I remember back when I was living in an apartment, it was late one night during one of the summer months (might have been August). I was about to turn out my light and go to sleep when I noticed the biggest ****ing cockroach that I had ever seen in my life crawling on the wall above my bed! This thing was as big as my freaking hand!! After getting over the shock of it all, I then swung at the thing with a towel or something. It fell to the ground and started to move very quickly to under my bed. I ran like I was Carl Lewis to get some Raid and I hosed that sucker! Needless to say, I had a hard time falling asleep that night. The next morning I called my landlord and DEMANDED that he spray my apartment for bugs.
Creepshow was a freaky movie. I rememeber that part of it vividly. Wasn't that the same movie where the guy's wife buried him in the beach and he drowned when the tide came in??
i picture antisonic looking like this now... j/k codell, yep that was the story with leslie neilsen (sp?) in it. i forgot what the beach zombies kept saying over and over. freaky though.
