You won’t believe this… October 30, 2005
Posted by andy in : life , 9 comments…actually, you will.
Christie decides to clean the kitchen today. Clean as in “Spring-clean”, so it’s everything off the benches wipe things down and so on. She even polishes the kettle. That’s dedication.
After polishing the kettle, she picks up the base to wipe it over, and lets out a little scream. A cockroach runs out from under it. So she does what any self-respecting girl does and calls me over, flapping her arms.
I get out the Mortein, spray it, and it dies. Problem solved. I go back to my study.
A minute later another little squeal. Now she’s whacking the base of the kettle against the sink.
I walk over and look, and there’s cockroach after cockroach falling out of the little plastic base and tumbling into the sink. They’re all sizes, little babies to full adults. I spray them all. Then, we start spraying the base and all hell breaks loose.
Cockroaches are running everywhere. It’s all on and we’re taking no prisoners. The flood becomes a river, becomes a trickle and then stops. Nothing’s moving. We spray until the base is flooded in Mortein and becomes a black pool of cockroach death. Then we flood it with water. Baby cockroaches start floating to the surface. Bodies still, they trickle down the drain. We flood and empty their home until nothing else comes out.
Then we take a look at the toaster…
Charity: The open palm. October 7, 2005
Posted by andy in : life , 6 commentsI’m rather fond of charities and I like donations. On my list of all-time best things ever, I think they’d rank pretty high.
But there was something that kinda irked me, and when I say it, you’re going to think I was nuts.

Hudson! Roll over. Roll over. Roll over… or just walk away…
