“That’d make sense”? Who the hell screams with neighbor-disturbing volume and persistence just because of finding any small local wildlife cadaver in the yard?

I dunno, Kimstu.

First, here’s the whole original post:

@UltraVires

Regarding covering the mouth when screaming: Several years ago I was sitting in the living room and my then wife was in the yard and started screaming. I ran outside and found that she had discovered a dead iguana in the bushes. She was still screaming.

I covered her mouth with my hand as I did not want the entire neighborhood and the police over at the house.

Perhaps this was a similar situation. There was a misunderstanding and Kav was saying “Okay, Christ, we won’t have sex. No need to alert the world!”

If it were in West Virginia, I’d want some serious backstory. How the hell does a dead iguana end up in the bushes?

And iguanas aren’t always small: they can be 5’ long or longer.

And I’m not sure that many people would scream (and keep screaming long enough for their spouse to get up from the living room, run outside, and identify the source of the screaming) at the sight of any wildlife corpse, familiar or exotic.

My best guess is that this happened somewhere away from WV, maybe in Florida or somewhere; and that Ultravires is taking some liberties with the story to make it cast attempted rapists in a better light, as one does.
