Buffistas

And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

“Not dead yet!”

Big ass flying roaches are palmetto bugs. No matter where I'm at, Palmetto bugs I learned them as, Palmetto bugs are what I kill. With great glee and relish.

(I have to be the roach killer in the household-- Lewis can't deal with them. However, he's much better at coping with snakes. I'm a total Indiana Jones about the snakes.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

cockroaches...flashing neon saying "Eat at Joe's"

Y'all have probably avoided the movie Joe's Apartment. I did originally, then I happened across it while channel surfing, and it was surprisingly good, funny, and not so creepy/crawly/icky.

And who didn't love Wall-E's cockroach sidekick?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I actually quite liked that movie!

"Fellow cockaroachies, we must save Joe!"

Now that I know these are wood roaches that don't breed indoors, the gross, greasy, filthy feeling I have is gone. Sorta.

Arachnophobia was less horrifying and more funny than I expected, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have to tell you, this discussion was confusing me immensely. I thought that by waterbugs, you meant waterbugs. Which I'm sure you wouldn't want in your home. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek opens with a long and horrifying discussion of the water bug.

Says you!

I actually have to cover my eyes for the last part of the Land of the Lost trailer with the giant bugs. Despite the horrid CGI.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm fairly certain that when bt's waterbug eating a FROG link says "Napa County, California", it actually means the Napa Co, CA in AUSTRALIA.

Aus has the truly scary uncrushables.

I don't really see many waterbugs in Melbourne. We do have them in Australia, and apparently the Sydneysiders grow up to 7 cm long. I've still always thought of them as an American thing.

Oh, in South-East Asia some of them can reach 12 cm long. That's one impressive waterbug.
