Don't Kill, annihilate

[acousticrock87]

Oh man my old house had tons of silverfish. And these little tiny silverfish-like things that came out of drains in one of the seasons (can't remember which). Luckily, this house really just has spiders. And the occassional house centipede. My ex-girlfriend's house was infested with pincher bugs, though. I had to kill them, cause they came in through the window right outside the door, so saving them was a bit pointless.

[k-krack]

exterminate.

acoustic- sick man, never really seen a centipede.. except one time i think on the "family" cottage recently there was something like one? are they pretty small? not too many spiders here, lotsa silverfish in the bathroom/my room in the dark areas (under my bed, the floor vent...)

[acousticrock87]

The centipedes here are relatively small. We've only had maybe one or two a year in the 3 years we've lived here, but they're about like this:

 

And they're usually on the ceiling.

[k-krack]

oh goodness me!!! (sickin' up) i would take silverfish over that motherfucker any day!!! holy crap! that is... ick...

[acousticrock87]

Ya but they're easy as hell to kill. Silverfish tend to survive the most devastating blows without a scratch. So do pincher bugs. That's why I hate them.

[k-krack]

really? maybe you had super-silverfish. the ones here, i notice, arre kind of like dust... at least there innards are. i always catch em in the bathroom, although they may be quick, i always get 'em with toilet paper and they leave a sort of dusty residue, which wipes up easily. kinda sick, but i mean... im not gonna let that bitch go, y'know?

[static-harmony]

I get roaches all the time they are impossible to kill, and they are destroying my book collection. They leave it really dirty.

[k-krack]

ahh sickening!

[static-harmony]

But they make great companions.

[acousticrock87]

Haha. Sounds like something out of a book itself. Sitting in a library with nothing but squalid books and roaches for companionship.

I think it's because I used shoes to kill silverfish and they always ended up between the treads.

[k-krack]

ooooh. that could be why. damn threaded shoes. my shoes are like an iron maiden, theres no threads, but there is these sort of spikes,. like... ^^^ on all sides. so if part of the silverfish were to be in between the spikes, another part of it would probably feel the pain.

speaking of iron maiden's. shit that would hurt!

[acousticrock87]

I didn't even know that's what those were called. I had to look it up. I assumed they were called "those coffin things with spikes."

"Supposedly, they were designed so that when the doors were shut, the spikes skewered the victim, missing vital organs and permitting the victim to remain alive and upright. The spikes were also movable in order to accommodate each victim.

The condemned person was kept in an extremely confined space to maximize his level of suffering by claustrophobia. Mobility was nearly impossible, and if the victim was weakened by the ordeal, the piercing objects would remain in place and tear into the body even further, causing even more intense pain.

The doors of the maiden could be opened and closed one at a time, without giving the victim opportunity to escape. Supposedly, this was helpful when checking on the victim"

[k-krack]

there were also special spikes for the eyes. i suppose they were just a little longer? maybe more blunt? not sure. and there was a drain in the bottoms for blood to run out. i want to check it out right now. wikipedia, here i come.

[acousticrock87]

"As far as claustrophobia is concerned, one could surmise that a person being impaled by sharp knives in this device might not be as upset about the enclosed space as they would about being impaled. However, that is subject to conjecture."

Hahaha. I love when wikipedia has a sense of humor. Intentional or not.

[k-krack]

i don't know about that, if i were to get impaled in multiple places at once, i would like it to be in an area where i could stretch my legs a little.

in fact, i would be outright pissed at the fact that they didn't have the decency to maybe even let me stand by myself without the kinves holding me up. jerks.

My ex girlfriend found a fucking scorpion in her room once. That's pretty crazy.

those things are fucking scary, aren't they? i freaked out because i saw one on the wall on numerous occasions.

[finding nobody]

I found many brown recluse spiders in my house. Have you ever seen someone who's been bitten by one of those? ew!

Are you sure, man? That's bad. If they bite you in the middle of the night...

We have black widows and stuff, but only in the garage. If they were in the house, the exterminators would be there the next day.

I think the ones that size are pretty harmless. I've heard the bites are comparable to a wasp sting. Poisonous but not dangerous. They seem to come up on this board a lot. I think it's my fault.
