LOL, I think my head is really too stuffed up to make such a colossal effort. However, I am nearing 2000 posts, so I just may make some crap up just to get there faster.

How will this differ from your usual posts?

I will have to actually think to make crap up. Usually it just comes natural.

Goodnight chatterboxes..

My show girl eggs came today while I was at work and the post man did NOT leave the box. She left a slip in my mailbox that said, 'pick up at post office after 8:30 am tomorrow"

worms are probably more common then most people think, getting wormed is better then Having them. A couple yrs. ago (or more,time flies) there was a story on the news about a woman that died because a worm went up to her brain instead of down to the intestines...Now That is Gross

if she left the box the eggs may have frozen

Reading one of the posts regarding hognose snakes, which are also know as puff adders in some areas, reminds me of an incident I had with one years ago. I was out with the fire engine on hydrant detail when we were stopped my several young boys who informed us that they had found a cobra.

It was a hognose exhibiting one of its defense postures, raising up a third of its length and spreading its hood. When we returned to the engine the snake decided to crawl into the road right in our path. When my partner attempt to prod the snake it exhibited its second defense, rolling onto its back and playing dead. Becoming exasperated with the snake's antics he use the toe of his boot to again prod it into moving. It finally crawled to the edge of the road. Just as he returned to the fire engine the snake crawled once more into the road. Three times he moved the snake only to have it return to the road.

As a last resort he grabbed the snake by the end of its tail to hurl it well off the road. Upon releasing the snake and his fingers were mere inches from the snake it became aware of the snake's third defense mechanism. From by position in the driver's seat I was able to watch the entire fiasco. I could see Keith's hand and arm still extended from his toss. I could see the airborne snake just a few inches from his hand, and I could see the brown cloud erupt the snake and envelop Keith's arm and upper torso. The third defense is the ability to void it's bowels with force.

Keith came back to the engine coughing, gagging and covered with brown freckles. The stench was indescribable. We immediately went to the closest fire hydrant so he could wash. The spell was so bad that he used a rag drenched with diesel fuel to wipe his arm and face in an attempt to replace the odor with something a little less nauseous.
