The Great Snake Attack

The Great Snake Attack!

I remember it well, the details are burned into my brain like it was just this morning. You see…It was in March of last year that my wife, Patria, and I were preparing to work in the backyard. It was a beautiful sunny warm day here in West-central Florida. I know that a lot of you in other parts of the country, March is freezing, but not so much here where we live.

As soon as we went out to the area next to the garage first we had to that had to rake up the thick layer of leaves, weeds, and palm shoots, etc. It was right then that I saw it. It was maybe 3-4 feet away from us, just kind of hanging out.

Right in front of us, was a typical, harmless, Florida Black Racer Snake, it was maybe three feet long.

I pointed to it, …….. and before I could get the words out of my mouth,…… “Look it’s a black racer” ……. my wife, Patria, who only a fraction of a second before was right behind me…… was already long gone.

She had already sprinted the forty feet to the back gate, through the back door, and all the way through the house, all the way to the front porch. This was all before I could even turn around or react.

The totally harmless common Florida snake obviously uninterested in my wife’s distress casually turned around and slowly slithered off, and who could blame it with all the commotion.

Laughung to myself I walked to the house opened the door and called Patria, eventually, I found her on the front porch. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Baby, come on out, it’s just a harmless black racer.

Patria: I am not going outside anywhere where there is a doggone snake.

Me: It’s just a black racer it’s not poisonous and won’t bite.

Patria: How do you know it’s not a water moccasin?

Me: It’s not a water moccasin, it’s just a harmless garden snake, and besides it’s gone now.

Patria: All Snakes bite.

Me: Not these. they don’t have any fangs.

Patria: It will bite if it’s scared.

Me: What do you think it’s going to do? Go out of its way to attack you?

Patria: It might. You never know.

Me: It won’t. It’s perfectly safe now.

Patria: How do you know it’s gone?

Me: I saw it go away, it headed out into the side yard, come on out.

Anyway, this conversation went on for a few minutes, but she eventually agreed to come back out. I once again assured her that the snake was long gone and everything is perfectly safe.

Patria told me that she would know because she would smell it. Evidently, snakes have a particular smell, something that’s a cross between; watermelon and fish.

Who knew. So, if you’re ever outside and you smell something that’s what can only be described as a cross between fish and watermelon, …..then……… RUN.

Anyway, the snake never came back, and we completed our project with no further incident.

Life is Good.

By the way, the snake looked something like this..

Southern Black Racer

In the end, we both survived, and lived to talk about it.

As Always,

Giant Snails Invading Miami!

Giant Snails Invading Miami!

I tried to warn you everyone, but nobody would listen. First, it was killer bees, Killer Squirrels, then other animals attacking humans, this is just another weapon in mother nature’s arsenal.

After years of neglecting the planet, nature is making us pay for our transgressions. Essentially, as the line goes, “The chickens have come home to roost” or in this case snails.

Miami, Florida is being invaded by hoards of giant African snails. Don’t laugh, this is serious business my friends and literally, no one is safe, as these nightmares make their slow inexorable trek northward. These slimy monsters grow to over 8″ long. Just let that sink in for a moment.

Giant snails

Giant Snail

Take a good close look at this photo, this my friends, is the enemy. You can see the sheer size of this monster. This is what happens when you pollute the air, land, and water, then couple that with climate change. We get giant snails invading and eating everything in their path.

So far there have been over 157,000 of these monsters captured since 2011 and 1,000 more are caught each week. This is only the tip of the iceberg, as these monsters lay about 1,200 eggs a year. They are just starting to emerge from their underground lairs.

In some areas that are already are overrun with these monsters, the snails’ shells blow out tires on the highway and turn into hurling projectiles from lawnmower blades, while their slime and excrement coat walls and pavement. These nightmarish creatures have a fondness for eating stucco and concrete. That’s right, they eat walls and sidewalks. What do you think is one of the most popular building materials in the Miami-Dade area of  Florida? That’s right, stucco and concrete.

The eat stucco and concrete, because they need the calcium content for their shells, so they can grow even larger. You know else what has a large calcium content? Human bones, that’s what. It is only a matter of time before these nightmarish creatures realize this. Then mark my words, this is going to get worse, a lot f–king worse.

Oh but, it gets even better, it turns out that these snails also carry a parasitic worm that can burrow into humans and cause meningitis in humans. WTF… Not only do these monsters eat buildings and will soon prey on humans for their calcium, they also carry an exotic parasite that causes meningitis.

These giant snails also eat over 500 different plant species. Of course, they will not eat either potato vines or Spanish moss. These two invasive plants are the bane of Florida living. Go figure, not only do we have giant snails, but the only thing they will not eat are the two plants that are literally taking over Florida. I guess we deserve everything we get. Hell, not even the giant Burmese pythons or Florida alligators that live in the Everglades eat these monsters.

The only bright side to this invasion is they are just as slow as a regular snail. Anything can out run these things without even trying. Even the slow-moving elderly are safe. As long as you don’t slip on the slime-trail they leave behind, you’re good. For now, that is.

So, how do we fight back against this slow motion nightmare? Well, I suppose we could all eat escargot. Personally, I am not a big fan of escargot. I don’t know about you, but there is something about eating snails, that I just can’t stomach.

escargot

Escargot

There’s only one way we can halt this slimy invasion. We need to develop emergency escargot recipes that appeal to the masses. Right now, I am calling on Bobby Flay, Emeril, Paula Deen and all the other famous chef’s in New Orleans and everyone else regularly featured on the Food Network, to immediately start developing escargot recipes that we can all enjoy. We need barbecued escargot, Cajun escargot, southern fried escargot, baked escargot and what ever else you can think of. We need these recipes and we need them fast. This is a national emergency and time is of the essence. SO, PLEASE GUYS, GET RIGHT ON THIS RIGHT AWAY!

There’s only one way we can beat this menace, we have to eat them to extinction. As the human race we have done it before in past history, and we can do it again. That’s right, just imagine, barbecued, fried, Cajun style, Southern style, grilled, baked, or fried if that suits you. These slow motion nightmare creatures will now become the hunted. Remember, just follow the slime trail or leave out some concrete as bait.

Bon appetite!

I think I need to get a bigger frying pan,

As always,

I am…

When Animals Attack!

I have written extensively in the past about how animals are far more cunning and intelligent then we ever suspected. This story is yet another example. I have combined two recent headlines, as they both show a definite trend on how animals are trying to end man’s supremacy on Earth.
Evidently, mankind is being evicted by the landlord.
Fisherman Finds Live Bomb In Squid

Our first story is about Squid that are finally sick and tired of being some idiots dinner. Evidently some squid have found a way to fight back by becoming suicide bombers. This is pretty f–king scary. Here is one instance where I am certainly glad that I am not a fan of squid.You see, a fisherman off the coast of China pulled in a squid. This squid was different somehow and was noticeably bloated.

The fisherman thinking nothing unusual about an abnormally bloated squid finished his fishing and went back to shore to the local wholesale fish market.Little did this simple fisherman know, he was carrying death right there with him, in his very small fishing boat.

You see this was no ordinary squid, this was a suicide bomber squid. Yes, that’s right. I am not making this stuff up.Evidently, squid are sick and tired of being dinner for humans and have developed a way to fight back. This squid realizing that it was about to become some humans next meal, promptly swallowed a three pound bomb. That’s right, a bomb, a bomb in the shape of an eggplant to be exact. This live bomb could have gone off at any time if handled improperly.

Luckily for this particular fisherman he handled the squid rather gingerly and the bomb did not explode. The bomb was discovered inside the dead squid as it was being slaughtered at the fish market. Thank God! The bomb failed to detonate and nobody was hurt. The Police were soon called and they promptly took the bomb away for detonation.The interesting thing about this story is, squid normally feed close to shore on very small fish and prawns. A three pound bomb shaped like an eggplant certainly doesn’t look anything like fish or prawns.

This could only lead us to one possible conclusion. The squid planned to take out the fisherman in a premeditated act as a suicide bomber. The baffling part of the story is where did the squid obtain a bomb shaped like an eggplant? The story did not clarify if the bomb resembled an American eggplant or Chinese eggplant.

I believe that as part of the squids master plan to halt over fishing off the Chinese coast and elsewhere. I believe that the squid are working with international black market arms traders. I highly doubt the the squid manufactured the bomb themselves, and they must have acquired outside help in order to pull off their nefarious plan.

We need international cooperation right now, to deal with this menace before it gets out of hand. We have enough issues to deal with right now then having to also worry about killer squid as suicide bombers.

 

Man Vows To Kill All Squirrels After House Fire Interrupts Funeral

Our second story details how a squirrel in the UK burned down a mans garage on purpose.

Yes, you heard right. A 73 year old man in the UK was ion the middle of a funeral procession for a friend when he received an urgent call from one of his neighbors informing him that his house was on fire.

The man immediately demanded that the car he was in for the funeral procession to immediately detour and take him to his burning home. Once the driver arrived at his home he was horrified to discover three fire crews attempting to put out the fire that had already consumed half his garage, damaged his home and partially damaged the neighbors home as well.

Now truth be told, this guy is not the nicest person in his hometown either. He has made headlines before. During the 24 years he spent as Tory Councillor, he was suspended for swearing and insulting the wife of a fellow Tory, then suspended in 2007 for telling a rival candidate “I’ll bury you,” according to the Guardian. In 2010, he was convicted of assault after allegedly spitting in someone’s face during an argument about a parking space.

So after the fire was finally put out and was reduced to cold embers, it was determined that a squirrel had chewed through an electrical wire at just the right location that would cause a serious fire.

This guy has also had it out for the squirrels in the past. He complained that when he puts out nuts to feed birds, neighborhood squirrels eat all the food he provides. “It’s a battle between me and the squirrels,” he told a local newspaper. “I put up with that, but now that they’ve set my house on fire I’ve decided I’m going to shoot them all.”

Evidently this guy just doesn’t learn. The squirrels were giving him a deadly warning, that they can and will do him serious harm if he doesn’t lighten up with the nuts. Now he is threatening to kill them all. This is a serious f–king mistake dude. Just give them what they want and just maybe they will let you live.

Just think about it dude, the squirrels sent you a serious message while you were attending a funeral of one of your friends. The timing of the fire was no coincidence, I can assure you. You had best change your attitude and fast. I am not sure how much patience squirrels have.

I never trusted squirrels much anyway, or squid for that matter.
So, why are we seeing an enormous increase in animals attacking humans? Isn’t it obvious? It’s not just squids with bombs, or squirrels burning down a crotchety old man house. No, my friends, this is just a small sampling of incidents happening around the world on a daily basis and these incidents are happening more frequently all the time.

Think about it! We have polluted the air, polluted the oceans, polluted the lakes, polluted the rivers and streams, and we have polluted the land. Mankind is the main culprit that is causing global climate change. As the stewards of this planet, mankind sucks. If the stewardship of the planet were a full time paying job, mankind would have been fired long ago, out of sheer incompetence. Trust me, I work in the private sector, and they expect results.

As stewards of the planet we have utterly failed to produce any results whatsoever, as a matter of fact, things are much, much, worse. Animals are evidently the next chosen stewards of the planet and it seems that the landlord has directed them to evict us. Frankly, I don’t blame the landlord at all.

Unless we change our ways, and change them soon, we (mankind) is going to become an endangered species. Let’s turn this around while we still can. Are you with me?

As always,

I am…
