Guess what. I was right that bloody thing wasn't venomous so I'm alive and kickin' it.
So for those of you who are wondering what the hell I mean by "that bloody thing", I'm talking about the Cara de Nio, Skull insect, Jerusalem Cricket, Potato Bugs, or (run away if you don't want to learn something) Stenopelmatus Fuscus that bit me last night. Adults can reach up to 2 inches long (30-50 mm), so I guess it was a young one. They have powerful jaws but they are NOT venomous, so don't go 'round killing them. Unless they bite you first, in that case, I say crush them, and believe me, you'll want to, they bite harder than a motherfucker.
So you want pictures, do you? Well I massacred it beyond any chances of recognition (yes I do that, I'm vicious when fucking bugs bite me) but I found a pretty little picture of a beautiful specimen. Apparently they hate being disturbed so stay the fuck away from them unless you have a thing for bug bites.
Enough on the Animal Planet interlude. I made up my mind. I won't buy the Eddie's Head boxed set. Yet. What I'll do instead is buy the Motrhead boxed set, the DVD of METAL: A headbanger's journey, and the CD's that aren't included in the boxed set. Then I'll get me that thing for Christmas. Shouldn't be a problem because I'm not going to visit Finland in december after all, thanks to my problems with She-who-must-not-be-named.
You can still try to save me from myself, but in general whenever Sir Buyzalot sez "thou shalt buy this" I do his bidding. I hate that prick.
Big love, everyone
EDIT: I know I said I was vicious to bugs that bite me. That doesn't mean I approve of animal cruelty. There's a difference between murderous rage because a roach bit you for no reason and fucking putting a dog in an oven. Sign this petition NOW.
