I Hate Cockroaches

There is a dead cockroach in the bathroom at my office. Well, he’s not dead yet, but I think he has given up. Man, I hate those things. I remember when one popped up in my apartment, so I trapped it under a cd spindle cover until it died. That meant that for about a week, there was a cd spindle cover sitting in the middle of my computer room with a cockroach underneath it. I’m weird.

    Man up and get some RAID. Leaving something to starve and die for days is just cruel.

      I think I got RAID right after that incident. I've had several more cockroaches since then, but since I have RAID now, I can defend myself properly =P

    Once my dad trapped a small scorpion in one of those glass chandelier light covers that's open at both ends, so he had air and everything…but having a "pet" scorpion in the middle of the living room floor was pretty unnerving. His name was Roger. =P

      COOLS!!!!!

      I live in Texas where the scorpions are in huge population.

      We hit one with a flip flop one time and it stuck to the wall so now we have a rotting scorpion carcass stuck to wall.

      the weird thing is that after that little incedent we havent had as many scorpions in our house, ?

    Ah! I have a fluorescent light in my basement and I swear that there's a dead cockroach that's been trapped inside the plastic cover for years now. No one seems to want to bother to get it out…

    Ew….

    I prefer the vacuum for all bug disposal missions. I also enjoy that the boy makes -me- do it. There's something flawed in that level of thinking, if you ask me.

    w/r/t Drew's most recent comic, "Hey check this out!"…

    Hilarious.

    Furthermore, I found the panel arrangement interesting. Of course, I read it each row at a time, working my way down. However, I advise everyone to read all of them left frames first, then all of the right frames. It provides a different perspective. And a different reason to laugh at this poor sap.

    Wow, a whole week. They can survive nuclear winter and the giant asteroid that killed the dinosaures, but the only two things they cant survive are the "big crunch theory" and JUSTIN!

      i think they can survive radiation and stuff too… or that might just be in 'meet the applegates' – that film rocks!

    When I have bugs in my room, I use a broomless-broomstick as a spear to kill 'em. Incidentally, my last victim was a roach…or something that looked like one….

    i like insects^^

    but just some times i like the nice crunching sound when i crush them! =D

    the cruelest thing ive ever done to an insect was slightly squeezing the head of a fly and it was blind after that (it was an accident, it happend as i caught it and i felt sorry for it…). i let it fly away and then there were very soft knocking noises in my room as the fly flew against walls and my ceiling XD

    another fact about them:

    everyone loves butterflies, right? did u ever look very closely to the head of one? they are soooooo ugly! take away there wings and u have some kind of VERY ugly worm with legs 0.o

    roaches are actualy pretty funny… if you come close to them with a vacuum cleaner from behind they TURN AROUND and run INTO it because they think there is something bad in front of them^^

    i love those little guys…

    Back in the day when we entered my aunt's apartment, we would always see/hear the black swarm of roaches scurrying away at the flick of the light switch. She would slam those who didn't get away with her bare hands. Guess you become less squeamish when you gotta deal with them constantly.

    While studying for finals, my friend captured a pesky fly and proceeded to tear off some of it's legs. It flew, but didn't get far. Then he de-winged it and it tried to fly with one wing unsuccessfully, so he took off the other.

    In one of our vbs stations, we had 4-5 yr olds write their fears on balloons and attempt to keep it submerged in a bucket of water. Most of the kids wrote, 'bugs' or 'slugs', but little Justin wrote 'juell' and we were like, "what's a ju-el?" and he goes 'Jail, I'm afraid of going to jail."

    trying to select songs on the ipod while driving is dangerous too.

    Yeah I had a roach in my room once. I'm terrified of them. I stood on my bed and threw things at it, and was satisfied because it was squished under a shoe. Thirty minutes later I looked up from my computer to see that the half of the roach that I could, previously, see under the shoe, was gone. Actually, the roach was gone. I called my friend (mind you it was almost midnight) and told him I thought he needed to come and find a roach for me. He soon found out that I had found it, by my screams of horror. The stupid roach was walking across my room, two inches tall, it's insides still smooshing out his sides. I had a freaking zombie cockroach in my room.

    Impact to the head.

    On a different note, your comic today (the 5th) sounds like something I did. While writing in a notebook I wrote a word I thought I had misspelled, then waited for the red squiggly lines of spell check to pop up. They didn't pop up. And I hadn't spelled it correctly. They should totally equip all pieces of paper with spell check.

    My friend teaches preschool, and whenever her kids ask her if they should kill a bug they see, she tells them that they need to respect all living things, even bugs. However, in her mind she's thinking "please kill it." :D

    Velcro tires, perhaps?
