[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I had no idea scorpions were so fragile!

Killed one with my bare hand once.

In my sleep-addled mind, I thought it was a mosquito tickling my knee, so I threw back the covers and slapped the hell out of it. Then felt the hint of a sting, and turned the lights on. Woo. Dead scorpion, my favorite kind.

I remember when I first encountered roaches outside of Florida, I laughed because they were so teeny and wee compared to what I was used to.

Palmetto bugs travel alone, but them little cockroaches travel in packs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Palmetto bugs. I remember when I first encountered roaches outside of Florida, I laughed because they were so teeny and wee compared to what I was used to.

This, if for no other reason, is why we need to STOP GLOBAL WARMING NOW. I do not want those fuckers moving any farther north than they already are.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I encountered palmetto bugs the year we lived in Fernandina. I was eight. If my mother had told me they could fly I'd have had a coronary.

I was once dashing across my carpeted apartment and felt something crunch undr my bare foot. I looked down to see a mashed waterbug. After the screaming and running in circles ritual dance was done, I went into the bathroom to get some toilet tissue for the removal procedures.

AND WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY BEDROOM IT WAS GONE.

200+ pounds of me, landing on that thing at a run, and IT SHOOK IT OFF AND WALKED AWAY.

That thing still haunts my dreams.

I truly fear that's what the flying one was.

What is even happening?

Right? There are reasons some of us flock to colder climes despite the fact that it, for example, IS SNOWING two weeks before Halloween.

Ow! Just burned my arm -- it brushed against the top of the inside of the oven while I was taking my dinner out.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I want to say that I'm not returning to Bitches until you're done with the bug talk, but I'm actually going to bed now. Keep talking, I'll skip all this in the morning. Oh, and thanks for the nightmares, in advance.

(I'm cool with spiders, though. But horrible with stuff bigger than a fly that can fly around me.)

I've got a cold compress on it now. Damn, this hurts.
