Title: I really HATE the outdoors
Post by: RTSDaddy2 on July 10, 2007, 12:55:27 am
No, seriously,  I do - and here's an example.  My wife, daughter, and I were outside our house on Sunday.  I decided to come back in, just too hot for me.  On the way indoors, I felt something chewing on my foot...pressed my foot against my shoe to try and kill it. 

Pain was irritating me, so I did it again (ok, yes, I should have removed the shoe and knocked it's fuzzy behind out, but you know how men are).  Finally I did take the shoe off and found a small, black curled up looking thing that reminded me of a worm or an ant.  I saw no bite mark on my foot, and the pain went away...until tonight.

About 10 PM, my foot began to feel as if I'd broken something...from the outer edge to right around where I found the little dead critter.  It hurt just to put weight on it. 

My wife told me to take an advil, it had just spit in my foot more than likely and would only hurt a few days.

Which brings me to Bill Watterson's immortal line from Calvin and Hobbes:  to quote little Calvin - "I hate nature...something's always biting, stinging, or oozing mucus on you."  AMEN.  Now will somebody please pass me the damn Tylenol?

Any idea what it was?  You'll want to know in case this is an allergic reaction.

Yeah, you gotta hate the world and everything in it, after all, we are all dieing slowly just from breathing air.

That's not a very nice thing for a christian to say.

A true Christian will follow Christ's example to the end.  Christ stopped breathing in the end.

Christ never wished anyone to die, did he? Or was that in one of those lost passages?

Then he shouldn't have glorified being crucified.  Now all the kids are doing it.

Remember, Christ didn't write anything.  People wrote about Christ.

That's the funny thing to me, when i write about someone it rarely comes out as it actually was (everyone has their own interpretation), and that was probably only a few days ago.... draw your own conclusions.

I lost most of my faith in the church's representation of Christ when I realized the odds are about zero he actually looked like Jim Morrison.  Dude probably looked a lot more like Michael Jordan.

I imagine RTS will be surprised to find his thread over in P&R when he gets back.

Hey, i just posted my opinion in general, i didn't tell people of a certain faith to wish death on anyone.

RTSDaddy, don't worry.  It probably just laid some eggs in your foot, so you should be in unbelievable pain for only a month or two.  After the eggs hatch, they will go on their merry way and your basketball sized foot should shrink back to normal size.  No harm, no foul.

Remember, I said 'theoretically I'm Catholic."  In reality, I'm an asshat.

But wasn't it fun to think he was a Catholic, just for a second there?

If Peyton is God's gift to the Colts, Eli is God's cruel joke on the Giants.

Quote from: Monty Python
All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.

Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom,
He made their horrid wings.

All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.

Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid,
Who made the spikey urchin,
Who made the sharks, He did.

All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.

AMEN.

no, but he did make an innocent herd of swine run over a cliff and plunge to their terrifying, gory deaths  ;D

Jbox, where did you find that?   :laugh2:  :laugh2:  Atom, thanks for the encouragement.  Apparently the eggs hatched and the little buggers did, in fact, move on.

I'm not really surprised, but I am amazed that a discussion about an insect bite on someone's foot turn into some wierd religious discussion.  Carry on, I suppose.  :dizzy:
