I lived in Texas at the time, so I had to have been about four or five. As someone else said, they were talking about swarms of killer bees taking over the world or something on the radio and such, and it just happened to come on the radio as we traveled from TX to SC to move. Something about the bees going east...I was terrified for years...I still am. I am still waiting for them to come and get me, just like they did in the movie...Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16641205151621689015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503809.post-1126753139555013252005-09-14T21:58:00.000-05:002005-09-14T21:58:00.000-05:00I don't have the attention span to read this post.

I have a big fear of maggots. There are very few other things that instill such fear in my heart. Among them, cockroaches, eyelash bugs, flies (mostly because they're dirty and they birth their maggotty eggs), and pretty much ANYTHING larval.

Just beautiful! *sniff* ;)<BR/><BR/>GROSS MAGGOT STORY: A person that I'm ashamed to know, (and no, it's not me!) once had a dog. That poor dog died during the winter. Now, being from AK, I'm sure that you can sympathize and understand that giving a pet a decent burial during the winter just isn't possible. So this brainiack decides to pack the poor deceased mutt in a couple of plastic bags, which he then stores outside of the shed, intending on burying said pooch as soon as the ground thaws. Well, the ground in Fairbanks doesn't thaw until mid May. While playing paintball, we all noticed this incredibly wretched smell . . . . coming from the vicinity of the shed. Smart Boy decides to check the bag to see if everything's okay - let's just say he didn't need to worry about burying the dog as their wasn't much left. Blech. Oh, and his son was standing a few feet away witnessing what had happened to dear old Fluffy. Poor kid . . . <BR/><BR/>SCARY ALASKAN BUG STORY: We now have these HIDEOUS pincher bugs that are half the size of your fist with antenna longer than my arm - and they like to fly into your up-do and root around in your hair. And they cling. And burrow. Especially when your screaming, batting at your head and trying to dig them out. *shudder*Arctic Skipperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11467192719860192548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503809.post-1126646895866556882005-09-13T16:28:00.000-05:002005-09-13T16:28:00.000-05:00Carnival of Maggots!
