true!

my dad caught a copper head in our yard last week, and the neighbour also caught one (the greedy guts tried to eat a blue tongue)!

maybe we should have whacking day?!!

i see snakes at least 3 or 4 times a week
they don't wanna hurt you
browns are real timid particularly
just take a moment to think about where they would hang out and if you're somewhere like that be a little cautious.
but if you're on hallucinogenics and wanna play with the cute little taipan ya fucked aren't ya
seeing as i just had to do the training for it all again recently
first, dont panic because that will speed up your heart rate and aid the spread of the poison
if you get bitten isolate the area as best you can, some kind of tourniquet, a really tight bandage just toward the body from the limb or even a belt done up really tight.
never wash the leg or arm, the remaining poison on the skin surface can aid the identification of the snake and therefore speed up the cure
get to hospital as quickly as safely possible

same applies for spider bites except for redbacks where you apply ice to the bite as well

but dun worry they're just snakes and we all gotta share this planet, don't chop their heads off

edit:: hmmm that artice said to stay still. i forgot you're probably in the city and an ambulance can get there in no time. probably a much better idea

We live next door to a creek that's being invaded by construction fuckers. They're on the move anyway. And we've got tubs of grey water out the back that may as well have a neon sign saying "Snakes R Us"

there's one for the gripe thread, always ruins my day when these bloody snakes try to bum cigs off me outside flinders st... always with some sob story too, "i can't get a job man, i don't have any arms"... what a defeatist attitude..

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 10:06 am

I took on a mozzie last night. Tried to go to bed early so I could wake in time for a rare sunrise, pretty gay yes. Well every time I turned off the lights within a minute or two I'd hear that terrible mosquito wing sound. Quickly turn on the lights, looked for it, couldn't find it. Lights out... same thing. Tried "sleeping" with the lights on to find it, didn't work. After about 2 hours of this bullshit, at one point nearly finding and extinguishing it, I gave up, took my bed sheet to my living room and slept on the futon.

meanwhile the mosquito had my bedroom and my nice bed all to itself, and I woke up close to 10am feeling sore and unwell, missing the gay old sunrise and about an hour or two of paid work.

Bastard mosquito. And those fucking spiders - do your jobs!

Sounds like you need some window netting or flyscreens or something. Get to the root of the problem.

I hate mozzies. They ruin my summer

. We get big fat ones where I live and they leave massive welts on me...bigger than this one but it was the only pic I could find

Actually, that bite looks like a reflected map of Australia

If you look really close to the screen during this part of the movie, you can actually see the reflection of the snake on the glass protecting Mr. Ford from a nasty bite.

You asked for my help, if I say an orphan & teddy bear will solve the problem, they will, NOW GET TO IT!

get a citronella candle, they is the shit & smell nice, will kill everything.

I believe in dialogue over senseless killing...

Is there a Diplomacy Candle?

Also hard to find quality orphans these days.
