All Hail, Great Roach Killer
It dashed in front of me, lightning fast. I looked around desperately for something to smash it with and could only see towels. My poor hand. *retches* I could feel it twitching for a while. *runs around screaming* I can’t believe I did that. *gags* I wanna cut my hand off. And the smell. Why do they smell kinda metallic? Argh.
This is the third cockroach we’ve had in the apartment in fourteen years. I think it came in through the vent like the other ones.
“All Hail, Great Roach Killer” has been splattered on 8 times.
Funny how in the midst of your retching ordeal you had the presence of mind and the patience to grab the camera….
Well, it was horridly gross, but it was kinda fascinating, too. Even after its half-squishment, you could see it was fearfully and wonderfully made, with all the little parts quivering. Too bad cockroaches are evil (like cats), or I wouldn’t have wanted to kill it.
Good job Emeth!
that put me off my nashi fruit, emeth. hey, nice blog BTW. is this how you comment on a blog post? i’ve never done it before.
Yes, buddy. Your first comment worked wonderfully. And aren’t nashi just yummy beyond compare? I missed them in Moscow…. I love pears, too, but they just aren’t the same.
*salutes Miwaza*
Someday, if we get to meet in person again (which I certainly hope happens - I see your brothers more than I see you), remind me to tell you my “dreadfully huge, yucky bugs in India” story. :p
ewwww! nice picture

That’s just a weird blog entry, especially considering the pause for a photo op.
