The county will get rid of it. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=05062008

Beef is gaining some serious muscle tone from this furious typing thing he is doing.

[Doc]

Oh man, Onstad just couldn't let Beef and Molly be happy.

Actually I'm supposed to hate Molly so I guess this works for me.

[wombat]

As I have already said elsewhere today:

Nooooooo!

Dancing with the Stars? Really? I didn't watch it when Stacy Kiebler was on so I certainly ain't gonna watch it now.

Correct thread title: Aaaaaaah Moths. There's a moth in our apartment and it keeps freaking me right the hell out.

[jaydub]

Alternate title: Can I Freshen Your Chivas?  Since Onstad's foreshadowing with a 6lb mallet today.

So remember how in Six Feet Under they'd always start doing something shocking and out of character, confusing the hell out of you, and then jump back to reality -- only to immitate the trick later to convince you what you're seeing can't be possible?

So, has Beef just rocketed to fame and fortune and bought Circus c*ck' plane, or is this him imagining that fame and fortune?

Has Chris realized that his characters are fine and development and continuity are refuges for the weak?  Or does he just want to have the leadup to the wedding not just be Beef and Ray drinking beer and getting philosophical.

And I like Molly.

Last summer we had an infestation of pantry moths.

Eventually the culprit was found.  A bag of sunflower seeds in the very back of the cabinet.  The bag no longer contained sunflower seeds, but rather the husks of a million pupae.  Someone had shelled the moths and replaced the seeds with their leavings.

As I was cleaning out the cabinet, I grabbed this bag, and didn't recognize what I was looking at.  Then suddenly:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOTHS
Inside:
AHHHHHHHHHH

[Ruta Bagas]

I once had a trick box that could be used to make an object appear or disappear. I caught a moth in it.

It was a horrible trick and I was very sorry for it.

[colmore]

I have a vivid memory from early childhood of opening a box of crackerjacks and finding dozens of dead moths.

Amazingly, this didn't turn me off of crackerjacks, even though it still makes my skin crawl 20 years later.

This strip is so Six Feet Under for me, all yelling at the TV screen, "No, don't do it, this isn't what you want! You just think you do, you short-sighted bastard!"

Adult moths don't bother me.  Their babies, on the other hand:


The stuff of nightmares.  Bleah.  One of my favourite undergrad labs was growing and purifying baculovirus - which results in "caterpillar ebola" when the corpse liquifies.

Edit:  Not my hand!

It was only through sheer force of will that I was able to not begin hyperventilating at the mere thought of being in the same room as one (or more!) of those things, let alone having one (or more!) crawling on me.

[wombat]

Um, I thought they were kind of pretty...

[jay-ell]

Me too, Wombat.  You're not alone. 

[jaydub]

The problem, Ash, is that they're so damn juicy that they would rear up and laugh at your inferno for an alarmingly long time.  Then smolder and think vengeful thoughts like curling up next to your neck when you sleep - feet all hooked into your pajamas.
