Oh Lynne: Haruka and I went trailrunning on Sunday
Edited on Wed May-16-07 01:23 PM by LostinVA
And she saw a motherfuckin' snake on the motherfuckin' trail. A black snake about five feet long.

1. And there ain't a god damn thing you can do about it!
Not when there's snakes on the trail.

Except stand there and shriek like a girl.

On edit: Haruka did not shriek like a girl -- I did.

6. Okay, I have to tell the truth
I ran, and Haruka ambled (and probably smoked a cigarette when I wasn't looking).

Wouldn't that make at least two foxes? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

19. Don't you share your yogurt with your fiancee?
That's a rhetorical question. I really don't want to know despite being a pevy male.

22. okay this thread needs a theme song ---may i suggest:

She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
Like a lonely fox, boys, i need a place to hide

Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on before
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door

25. True, but at least
Haruka told me how to deal with the mouse! :scared:

Too busy, (but not all fun stuff). I didn't even realize my star had expired 'til now (I'll fix that later). :hi:

28. I forgot about the mouse incident!
When I lived in Coastal NC, we had HUGE Palmetto/water bugs --- ie flying roaches the size of mice.

ICK!!!!!!!!!!

30. Yeah, thanks to Haruka I didn't sleep standing
on my dining room table all night. She promised the mouse wouldn't hurt me.

BIG FUCKING BUGS!! We've got them too!, but at least NYC roaches can't fly.

Maybe what I saw the other day was a freakin' bug. I don't even know. I think it moved to slow for a mouse....but still moved too fast for me to catch it.


ICK! is right.

21. Tell her about the dreaded blue-black trail spiders
that cover the trail with enormous see-through webs and capture their unsuspecting running human prey...

that'll give her nightmares... :9

24. Snake...pfft.
Try rounding a turn at full speed on your mountainbike and seeing a log across the trail. But, oh wait...as you get within 25 feet, you realize that tis an alligator in front of you.

Some might have hopped it. I ditched instead. Thank you gator, for not eating my Sugar.

33. There's a snake living under the beagle's doghouse
I see him sunning himself in the afternoon, but when he sees me, he slithers back underneath. They seem to coexist just fine. Just a harmless garter snake.
