He posted it in my "Olsen Twins + Rudolph Hess" thread, but the original host doesn't allow hotlinking, so he u/led it here, and I was too lazy to save it and move it to my photobucket account.

Happy Halloween!!

Wanted to share a quick story real quick. Last night I had to wash the pjs that I bought (department at work decided to go with a pajamas theme) and later when I went to put them in the dryer there was a roach on the cabinets above it. I carefully reached into the washer trying to avoid him when suddenly in the spirit of Halloween the big, ugly, black sucker with white stripes bares his fangs and leaps at me. I screamed and he hit the metal side of the washer with a little *ting*!

Hubby comes and we take my clothes out, shaking vigorously, but no roach. We look inside everywhere and no roach. After a while all we can think to do is literally flush him out, so we start the wash hoping he'll drown. Later hubby goes back to check on it and I hear this wild cackling and run to go look while he yells, "He's in the only dry spot in there!!" He lifts the lid and the wash is spinning and the roach is on the middle pole and it looks like he's racing around in circles. We laughed so farking hard and then it stopped and his antennas were wiggling around like crazy and he just looked at us like, ZOMG you're flying.

Anyway, stupid story but it took me 3x as long to fall asleep cause I was still laughing and I just needed to tell someone.

Felicitations and GFY's on this All Hallow's Eve.

I plan to hide in the pile of leaves outside my house, waiting to scare the sh[/i]it out of any sucker who passes by. I've got a cool costume and everything.

All I need now is something really loud. If we had any chainsaws, I would take the chain off of it and start that up whenever someone gets close.

At the moment, it seems a simple [i]"BOO!" will have to do.

Or did he?

Yeah, I was kidding. Damn lack of sarcasm over the internet.

Think an airhorn would be better?

There are Trick-or-Treaters over the age of 8?

Those that aren't chronic alcoholics, prostitutes, or "too cool" to Trick-or-Treat. Of course that would leave mostly future high-school band members, goths, and Chess Club groupies so take that with a grain of salt.

Not all High School band members were dorks.



I'm cool, aren't I?

Actually, I knew a guy that did the exact sort of thing Dodo is talking about, only he was cool. When I was in my early and mid teens I used to hang out at his hous a lot. (What can I say? He had three daughters, all within 2 years of my own age.)

Anyway, he always went in big for Halloween. He'd decorate the yard and the house, and usually set up a couple of contests for the kids to "win" their treats with. One year he dressed up a scarecrow and put it up by the drive as part of the yard decoration. He put in a lot of time making it look just right, too. Then on Halloween night, he dressed up as the scarecrow and took its place. A lot of kids got a chance to pee their pants that night. The kicker was great, too. He already wore a full beard halfway down his chest and long hair... up under the scarecrow mask he was made up to look like the wolfman. Much hilarity ensued when a kid would get coaxed to take off the mask so they could see it was "just Mr. Bobby."

Good times, those were.

Please tell me where this land of Tic tac size roaches is, I'd love to live there. Here we have the big brown ones that can get to like 2 inches long and then the shiny black or brown ones with gang tats on them. Both are experts at making me wake up entire neighborhoods.

They live in Holland
