Where the heck do you live?

Lost Wages = Las Vegas

The Sierra Nevada is home to many rattlesnakes, scorpions, and tarantulas. My dad drives truck out to Nevada and back, and when I was a kid he'd bring home tarantulas in jars thinking that I'd be all into it...yeah, needless to say I fucking hate tarantulas, mainly spiders in general.

Based on this alone I will NEVER be moving to Las Vegas!

Just go there every now and again to get super lit and blow copious amounts of money.

If you’re wearing shorts, it will go for your legs; otherwise it may go all the way up to your face or neck . Its mouth opens four ways to become 4 very sharp fangs. If you are sleeping, it has been known to eat at your face and rip at the flesh. Don’t worry, its saliva will numb the wound almost instantaneously… by destroying the nerve endings. The saliva also inhibits healing. When your nose grows back , it’ll be hideously scarred. I honestly believe if these evil creatures were the size of a German Shepard, they would rule the earth!

Brilliant! There are some real mad fuckers about.

God, coming into contact with that is like my worst nightmare. Now if it was hairy, and creepy like a tarantula...I'd be dirtying my drawers up REAAAL quick.

Now here in Melbourne we don't have them, so I don't know...are they deadly?

I think a few of the varieties in the world can be but the ones we have here in the States aren't. But if you get stung it hurts like hell. I was stung on the ankle several years ago. It hurt so bad I got sick to my stomach. :shock:

You couldn't just catch it and release it in the desert???

I was packing up my tent after sleeping 3 nights in Malawi when I found one of those mofos in my tent. God knows how long I was bunking with a fucking scorpion, but luckily I came out unscathed. I was pretty excited to see a cool scorpion so I did the good ol' catch and release.

I'm going to back out of here now and pretend I never saw ANY of these.

At my friends holiday house overseas scorpions were a common sight.
Under my suitcase, on my towel, next to my shoes.
Freaked the shit out of me, especially when stumbling back home for the night drunk, scorpions are not what you want to see when drunk.
Found it hard to sleep because they were always crawling around.
They were about 1 inch small. Nearly got stung when I picked my towel off the suitcase, fell near my foot.
And 2 came running from under my suitcase.

Now here in Melbourne we don't have them, so I don't know...are they deadly?

Sounds like a real relaxing holiday!

At this house it wasn't. The rest was fine, the scorpions are only found close to the beach where I was.
Didn't see any at my family's house there, it is inland.

As I said

"Brilliant! There are some real mad fuckers about." I wonder how many believed it.

When I lived in Scottsdale, we had our house sprayed twice/month.

The month we stopped, I found 4 of them in the house in a week. One walked over my bare foot when I was shaving.

I killed another (little) one, last night. My dog was nosing it around . The bug guy is coming back this afternoon.

Why am I picturing that when we return from Seattle, there will be a group of these motherfuckers waiting for us..... "Hello, we've been expecting you." :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
