A buddy of mine once threw a brown recluse at me. I shook it off, then hit him with a bat and almost broke one of his ribs. I was kinda in the right.
Spider bites are serious business. Most of 'em are neurotoxins that will induce paralysis, then destroy blood cells. Or was it the other way around? I dunno, my pops is the entomologist. Not me.
Cicada ice cream sounds revoltingly scrumptious. Lotsa protein, for sure.
davelybob: My pops is a mechanic, an engineer, a carpenter, an electrician, a plumber, a welder, you name it. How he got involved with playing with bugs I’ll never know.
I’m trying to find this Spiderman comic that I read a while back. Had me literally LOLing.
Funny that in the last couple weeks I’ve killed both the biggest brown recluse and the biggest black widow that I’ve ever seen. Separate incidents. They weren’t like teaming up or anything.
I remember connelly , saying if anything was true, it was Al was successful in creating a myth of himself and I fell for it back in high school…when I was just a nihilistic dumbphuck, of course that was back in the 80s.
I do wear lots of black and am as lethal as a black widow. and the spider stories are still BS. and I know about the toe and needle thing, curiously, and rather intimately, so don’t ask.
