A friend of mine had a cockroach crawl into his ear while he was sleeping. He said it was excrutiatinly painful and caused him to wake up screaming. He could feel it trying to crawl in deeper and deeper and he was pressing his finger into the hollow behind his ear trying to stop it.
He ended up in the hospital where the doctor poured some oil or some such in his ear, leaving my friend lie there and enjoy a drowning cockroaches death-throes inside his head!!! Ack!!
As I heard the story I was picturing one of those tiny little roaches you sometimes see, the ones that are like a quarter of an inch long… But no!! Some wise-guy doctor sent my friend home with his cockroach in a test tube!!! That thing was at least an inch long!!! and fat!!! :eek:
Durinsbane… :eek: :eek: :eek:
I am so glad we don’t get roaches in our house. Climate must be too hot and dry, or something.
I hear Geoducks are good eats. Not pretty to look at, but then I have yet to encounter a shellfish that is.
There was an old man called Antiquarian
Gave a spider a full-body caesarian
There was a full quorum
Of disgust in the forum
And it confirmed him a semi-vegetarian
I am personally a bit of an arachnophobe, (except tarantulas, i don’t mind them) and I feel very sorry for Antiquarian. It reminds me of last summer when i nearly swallowed a Yellow Jacket on three seperate occasion. Each time i would leave my soda on the table and, about a half hour later, i would come back and take a gulp. The 1 and last times i only felt it on my lips, the 2 time, though, it was all the way inside my mouth. Thankfully i was never stung. I felt sick thinking that i could have eaten the insect, although i was more afraid that it would have stung my throat, i can’t imagine actually chewing an insect, much less an arachnid. The only exception to this is ants. My mother ate some chocolate covered ants when she was a Marine. She said they tasted good, plus i saw a special on an ant that eats and stores honey in itself. i like honey and i wouldn’t mind trying them.
Ya know, I’m a bit hungry
I have ants, i have chocolate dip…hhhhmmmmm
One last comment
What are Geoducks???
A geoduck.
It looks like a horse’s weenie squished between two clam shells. Used to see them in the market all the time when I was a kid back in the seventies and early eighties. Not at all any more.
Speaking of roaches in the ears, Cecil did a column on this ages ago… Probably more than you really want to know on the subject, but it is certainly, ah, food for thought.
sigh… well, I tried.
Day-O! Day-ay-ay-O! Tasted bad Antiq’ wants to go home
A beautiful bunch of ripe strawberries

Day! Me say day-ay-ay-O!
Tasted bad Antiq’ wants to goooo hoooome
Thanks Eats_Crayons - that was cool. I forwarded it ot my wife who loved it as well.
Regarding the Cockroach in the ear thing…Does anyone remember that Startrek movie where they had those roach-looking things as a punnishment put into peoples ears?
Yeah, that was pretty nasty… Although I always thought that they looked more like giant silvery earwigs than roaches. “Wrath of Khan” was the movie, I think…
As for geoducks, there was a short thread on that at the end of another of Cecil’s columns (look towards the end of the comments to read about geoducks). Read that and you’ll know the real reason for being sleepless in Seattle - fear of phallic clams and slugs!
Speaking of which, I wonder if there is a name for those particular phobias… Phallobivalveophobia and gastropodophobia?
Bwahahahahaha… live geoducks squirting at unsuspecting passersby! I love it! 
(Yes, Fujiko, I did look at the pic. I still think this is hilarious.)
Am I the only one who finds the imagined spectacle of giant squirting clam siphons to be vastly amusing? Oh well, if I am it won’t be the first time.
