It was huge. It was moving across the top of the wall opposite me, a mobile, brown stain on all that is domestic and familiar.

FUCK ROACHES. They don't pay fucking rent, therefore they are trespassing, and you have every right to KILL the nasty little fuckers. Call me prejudiced. I won't argue!!!

I have a few really, really terrible cockroach stories.

Like the time I found literally dozens, maybe hundreds of roaches hiding beneath the wallpaper border in the shower. (I pulled the wallpaper off and sprayed about an entire can of roach killer.) This was in my apartment which was ONE FLOOR ABOVE a fucking GROCERY STORE, no less.

Or the time my friend Steve whacked a HUGE cockroach with his shoe and the guts sprayed fifteen feet across the room onto my face and arm.

Yeah.

FUCK ROACHES. KILL THE FREELOADING BASTARDS.

If possible, I'd like for you to describe (or post a picture of) the face you made when you became thoroughly cognizant that what was on your face was, in fact, insect organ smoothie.

Consider spritzing on some Aunt Jemima and turning the moment into a user icon. ( ! )
