omfg roaches

[crankylex]

I would explain the last two weeks to you all, but it would take too long. To sum up:

* Spent a week in Atlantic City at a convention for work

* Spent two days cleaning my mother's house for Thanksgiving, finishing just in time to cook T-day dinner

* Remembered how much I truly hate cooking

* Discovered that when Liza came back from Africa with 10 crates of artifacts to be catalogued for her thesis, they were contaminated with roaches. Gambian roaches. I cannot adequately explain the TOTAL CLUSTERFUCK that resulted.

* Gambian roaches, as an aside, are much smaller than regular ghetto roaches. Go figure. I wanted to put both types of roaches in a tupperware container for a deathmatch, but there was no time.

* Did I mention the roaches?

You do realise this sounds like a script you're writing? A horror movie, no doubt starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and somebody from American Pie. "The Roaches that Ate Manhattan". I mean - they crawled out of a suitcase somebody was bringing back from a trip to Africa - can't you just HEAR the da da da da da effect in the background as the innocent grad student unpacks, little knowing ....

I might have gotten a little carried away. But make sure you post again in the relatively near future so we know you've survived the encounter.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I can just see the obligatory shower scene, when she goes to squirt some shampoo in her hand and instead gets a handful of roaches.

LMAO.

And you and your damn anthropologists. Always causing havoc IN MY LIFE.

"OMG DID THEY HURT MY ARTIFACTS?!?!"

"YOU HAVE CONTAMINATED MY HOUSE WITH VERMIN, WOMAN!!!!!!!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CENTURIES OF HISTORY IN THE BASEMENT!!!"
