He was so ugly, I nearly cried. I nearly cried, y'all. You ever seen a silverfish? I nearly cried.

Mr. Silverfish on my wall,
I don't like you; not at all.
Yes, I'm nearly six feet tall,
but you have more feet than them all.

Just stay where you are, you nasty little creature.
You spawn of satan.
Product of the Fall.
Purposeless filth.
Stay where you are and I won't touch you, and you won't get out of my kleenex and crawl (faster than a Nebraska cockroach) up my arm.
Deal?
In fact, stay where you are until morning so that you can get out of Richard's kleenex and crawl up Richard's arm. I think Richard would handle that a lot better than I would.
Deal?
Mkthanks.

Aaaahhhhhhh! I'm commenting purely to be polite but I need to go now as I'm constantly getting those "creeped out" shivers one gets when they're creeped out.

I hope you never have to see another one.

Cockroaches (especially the Nebraska ones)
Silverfish
Centipedes

Booooooooogity for sure.

Was it a silverfish or a house centipede?

A silverfish is a tiny bug that looks like an animated comma.

A house centipede is the long, brownish, many-legged thing that races around like the Road-Runner.

The latter actually eats the former.

Noelct, it was actually a house centipede, but I've always heard them called silverfish. The title is something I heard somebody say once. : )
Thanks for stopping by!
