I flicked on the light switch as I walked into my bathroom and a large black ant which had been foraging for tooth paste residue, presumably, on my sink, saw me enter and took off running for his life. He tore across the top of the sink, ran under the faucet, and raced around the corner of the soap dish.
Seconds after he disappeared I continued to stare at the last spot I had seen him. He didn't resurface on the other side so I knew he was still behind that damned soap dish.
I waited.
All of a sudden his head sticks around the corner of the dish, much like a cowboy in a western. He sees me and ducks back, as if I had a clear shot at him or something.
It was really funny-looking. Have you ever had an insect take a peek at you from behind some object?
It wasn't a worker. And I clearly saw his penis dragging across the porcelain surface.
A lone ant is portentious.
Thanks for the new sig line, osso.
I left the spelling alone. You did mean portentous, didn't you?
Should I correct the spelling, or would that lose the integrity of the moment?
You're welcome.
A lone cockroach is more portentious.
Oh, did I double spelling goof?
Yeh, fix it, babe.
I think you are onto something.
That's nothing, Gus. I've been ripping up a wild field of plants that have a mat of roots in which many insects live. I swear I've had crazed daddy longlegs dropping from the shruberies to get me and pill bugs pointing ak47s at me from under the sod clods.
That looks wrong, Gus. Now I'm going to have to look it up...
cjsha trained those bugs, littlek. Please be careful.

Maybe so, but I'm not wrong very often.
I can hardly believe it, portentous? Portence tus tussy, goodbye...
Well, 31,000 apparently agree with me.

I have survived. I think I am done destroying their little world.

It's funny reading littlk's quote and then her sig line afterwards.
I know! I had conflict! Nightmares!
