There is a roach in my apartment, and I'm gonna find it.

It has been here for a year or more. I have considered doing away with it once and for all, but then I think about the consequences, some employer may not hire me for dealing with the roach. But I am fearless and it's Christmas Eve. That roach is toast...so to speak.

2. For a year or more? Come on man, its earned a right to stay....
...by-the-way, my wife would love your avatar. She's nuts over dragonflies. Which reminds me. Would you kill a dragonfly? So why kill you friend, the roach?

8. I've tried to smoke them but they are so small and fall thru the
voids in the grill, and they are so difficult to carve.
