Intellectually, I respect the king cobra’s (and similarly dangerous-to-me snakes’) right to exist in the world and find them fascinating animals. From afar. If I found one under my dryer, I would freak the motherfucking fuck out.

I flipped this sign off on my way out of town when I got a job out of state.

I couldn’t believe it was legal. I read the story and said “Oh man, those people are in so much trouble.” When I found out they weren’t, I looked into my own state’s corresponding laws. It’s legal here, too, provided you can show the State Veterinarian you can properly house it and have an educational purpose in…

Been there. I didn’t actually do it, but I get it.

I just almost choked on cheese laughing at your last sentence.

Hahahaha I missed that.

After nearly stabbing myself in the eye with a screwdriver, I got to wondering how often furniture assembly leads to ER visits.

I’m surprised the story I’m posting below didn’t make it to Gawker; I know of it via a friend in Florida. I checked up on the legal status as I am in the legal field and interested in herpetoculture.

I’m relatively certain I lost years of my life that I wouldn’t have had I not been deemed “sick.” I don’t care to dwell anymore, but I was very angry for a long time and still have a very low opinion of the mental health profession. I believe they’ve helped others but they’re not getting their paws on me again.

And the “it works” is also condescending because no, it doesn’t for everyone,...

This website fucking hated her until she came out as an eating disorder and sex abuse survivor.

I find it a reliable place for decent crab when you live inland. (Coastal born, currently a land lubber.)

I tell people I’m older than I am. I’d rather they think I’m a well-preserved 46 than a normal-looking 41 (my actual age) or a tore-up 36 (the age I think I’m supposed to be claiming.)

Sigh. I know I’m gonna get clobbered for this...

Ah, man. I didn’t know about The Muppets. I figured it was happening, but was hoping it wouldn’t. I’m an old school Muppet Show fan and I really enjoyed it.

When Empire premiered, I watched and said “Got it. Nashville but with hip hop.”
