Take him to the border and establish a sanctuary zone, 50 miles wide the length of the border, no human traffic allowed.
Then the motherfucking EPA will protect the border, and instead of patriots having to spend productive time doing the border patrols job, a bunch of Birkenstock wearing green weanies will keep overwatch. 2 problems solved, and if it fails the Mexicans will have developed a delicious recipe for centipede fajitas, so all will not be lost |

Killed a 9" yesterday...
They are evil in every way... They have 2 venomous "punching arms" near their mouth they can inject venom with... They have not one, but 2 scorpion like stinging tails... And every single one of their motherfucking legs has a little asshole venom injector so even if the simple step on you, they ruin your day... Fuck you.. |

Quoted:
I think I am reconsidering my plan to retire to TX. I have. I've had them rare up and weave like a cobra at me with their legs or fangs all spread out threatening to grab you. I was sitting on the front steps one morning of our lake cabin drinking coffee and looked next to me and one was slithering past my left pocket. My girl cat was intently following something down the hill and and I saw it was one of those evil looking turds. I took a sharpshooter and turned it into a quadra-pede. I buried the head because it can still bite days later. Don't believe me, cut one in half and go back two days later and poke it and watch it write around. Then just the other night I was in the shower and I looked and there was one on the other side of the clear shower curtain. It wasn't a full grown one, maybe five inches long, but enough to make me get out covered in soap and grab a flip flop, which I knew wasn't going to kill it. I knocked it into the shower, removed the drain cover and herded, fought it down the drain. It didn't want to go. Then I put the drain cover back on and turned the water on Hot all the way. After awhile I got back in but afraid to turn my back on the drain and sure enough, it managed to stick it's head back up through the holes and try and crawl out. I grabbed the flip flop again and beat it back down. I washed the soap off but afraid to take my eyes off the drain. Then I poured Drano down the drain and set a bucket over it. Thats my only fear here. I check my sheets and bedding before crawling in at night and do a scan around the room looking for them. I can deal with scorpions and snakes but those things creep me out. |

The GF saw a jerusalem cricket for the first time yesterday, but it happened to be on the floor of our bathroom. She wasn't too psyched about it at all.

We have some around here (millipedes too) but I haven't seen one quite that big. I like the ratchety sound they make when the walk.

We've got our own varieties here in NM.
The cats kill 'em- spiders and scorpions too. For those they don't get to first, I keep a 12 inch forceps to grab 'em, then run 'em through the insinkerator. By September they get to 10 inches or so. Seriously creepy. |

I was impressed with the 3" yellow and brown ones I saw in NC last week.
Texas wins again. How about a pic of a brisket and a 44 instead next time? PS looks like an essential element to quell the hipster invasion. |
