Is that thing on your leg, Naaman?  Is it still alive in that pic?  If so, you're nuts (and yours were at risk)!

I don't mind black widows, rattle snakes or tarantulas but scorpions scare the shit out of me.

 

This is why I don't go bare foot anymore.

i had an emperor scorpion in middle school. 

wanted a tarantula, compromised with my mom and got a scorpion.  

 

i still don't understand how that was better for her.

 

anyway, from what i remember, the smaller the scorpion, the more lethal it is.

that's definitely no harmless emperor scorpion though

We have them down here too Naaman. Luckily they usually avoid humans, except they like to get in dark places like shoes. Next B-B-Q meal?

 

Glad Flash has a good home!

 

EDIT: I've heard the smaller the pincers, the more lethal.

While I was at summer camp in Georgia they always told us to shake out our shoes. I never saw one there and I aways wondered if it was one of those camp stories.

Guess there's one called the Southern Devil Scorpion that likes high humidity.

Go figure.

Was on my arm and it was definitely alive. I only noticed it when I raised my arm to close a cabinet in the kitchen.

Also heard that it's inversely proportional to tail size. It was a striped bark scorpion which is all I have seen around here. Guess I'm going to shake my cloths out from now on. 

That is utterly and completely fucked up.  I forgot your bicep is the size of my thigh.  What the hell did you do when you saw it on your arm and after you took the time to move around and take a picture of it?  Fuck, that is fucked up.

I guess scorpions aren't going to be on the next H-C t-shirt....

Gave me the heebee-jeebees seeing it, too....

I was just thankful it decided to hitch a ride on the outside of my shirt. Took a couple of flicks to get it off then gave it the good old boot stomp. Also glad it wasn't a centipede.

Speaking of Austin, I got a bill from the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (i.e. Austin toll billing agency) for driving on a toll road in Austin in March. I certainly do not remember driving to Austin so either someone is stealing and taking my "fancy" 2004 Honda Accord for a joyride Austin or I have been sleepdriving (and sleep filling up the gas tank).  Weird.   I hope I don't find any scorpions in the backseat.

You don't get pictures with those?  We get pictures around here -- usually a long shot, a closeup of the plate, and a closeup of the driver.

 

I'm usually grumpy in that last one.

No, I am waiting to speak to an agent.  I think I can request a picture of the plate. 

Hopefully you can get a picture of the car, too, it's probably not even a Honda.  The hassle still sucks.

 

Me:  (amongst other things) rolled a 70+ lb. amp up my apartment complex stairs.  It was a 4x10 combo amp, and it was significantly cheaper than I'd seen either the 2x12 or even 1x12 version of the amp (in fact, I've never even seen a 4x10 version of it, and it's not on the website), which I've been GASsing over, with no intention of keeping it (well, little intention of keeping it).  But now that I've destroyed the box to get it out of it, I'm hoping I like it enough to keep it, because I don't ever want to move it again.  And now I need a shower.

I probably should just pay it but I am annoyed.  

 

Actually, the bill is sent to Tim.  It would cost a lot more to send it to my lawyer so that he could send it to the other lawyer though.

No, you should definitely not just pay it.  My sister got into a lot of trouble when someone "stole" her plates.

Turns out it was an out of state plate with the same license plate #.    

lol

idiots

You should be careful if you get an email regarding unpaid tolls.

I've gotten a few that turned out to be scams. Luckily I checked online before did anything about it.

just figured out nearfield sounds better with the edition of my tv.

i love free improvements

You'll go blind.

Porn always sounds better with the TV turned on.

No, I mean if he watches TV in the nearfield.

what i should have said was that music sounds better nearfield now that there is a flat panel covering what was a clear path to my diffusion panels behind the tv.

it's all very unscientific, i just move the chair back a few feet.

Ah -- yes that does make sense -- when I worked at SRI, I had my monitors flush with my Quad 12Ls, it was a pretty sweet setup.

Had a second interview for a job.  Did not get the said job.  I did; however, procure myself a coconut cream pie.  The day is a success.
