I would’ve had a heart attack and probably died.

Scorpions are probably my biggest “irrational” fear. When I was a kid, I learned about crabs and lobsters, and I was terrified to go into the ocean for fear of stepping on one of them and having them pinch me with those massive claws, easily crushing through the bones in my feet like garden shears through loaf of bread. There were vivid images of them spearing my feet with their dagger claws, and pulling me down underneath the water into their dark, decidedly un-Disney-like ocean caves to drown for having stepped on them. I generally spent a lot of time on dry land at the beach (except for the brief period where my cousin had me convinced of the existence of “land sharks”, a species of shark that could tunnel beneath the sand and burst forth, snatching me up like something out of Tremors, but that’s neither here nor there).

So, naturally, when I found out there were miniature lobsters that could traverse land, hide in the darkness to pinch your feet, and even inject you with poison through a built-in weaponized syringe, I was done. Out of the game. Lobsters are one thing. You can keep track of lobsters. Look around you. Are you standing in water so deep you can’t see the bottom? If not, your chances of being attacked by a lobster remain refreshingly low. Scorpions, on the other hand, continue to prowl the walking world unfettered. They look like hybrid alien bugs, genetically engineered attack lobsters, cross-bred with black widows, and with an extra-evil glossy black finish. I can’t even watch hatcheries morphing. Image the nightmarish click-click-click of their spindly legs as they hit the floor of your darkened bedroom, their claws snapping at the air in fevered anticipation of their next pinch, and their stinger cocked and ready to shoot out at your unsuspecting bare ankles. Maybe he goes full blast and injects his whole payload into your foot, or maybe he just runs up and snips a toe off. I doubt he’ll think twice about it. Either way, you might want to do like I did and set your bed up on a set of car jacks and just crank it up a few feet once you’re in. I’ve also hooked up a bunch of industrial fans to a diesel generator, and I like to keep them blowing on me at about 35 miles per hour to blow away and low-mass predators that might make their move.

I keep a scorpion trapped in amber, deep in a wooden chest in my room in case I ever need it for a Michael Bay-style plot device where I use it to figure out their secret weakness when they rise up and start their inevitable revolution. The first night I had it, I woke up in a cold sweat after dreaming the scorpion had re-animated itself and tunneled out of the amber prison holding it and was free inside my room. I actually got out of bed and pulled it out of the chest to make sure this wasn’t the case. I got out of bed at 3 AM to prove to myself that a dead souvenir scorpion hadn’t dug its way out of a block of amber in an attempt to get me. I actually did that. And, thinking about it now, it’s been an awful long time since I’ve checked on that scorpion…

Scorpions are the holy symbol of the Brotherhood of Nod.

You guys coming in here thinking it was a post about Boxer are silly.

Can't you see that it CLEARLY says Boxers and not Boxer's? Tsk tsk.




not gonna lie, though, I assumed you meant Lim Yo Hwan, but the blog was funny as hell, haha. I used to live out on the outskirts of Las Vegas and we'd have scorpions all over everything, and they loooove to hide in your shoes. I don't live in a state with Scorpions anymore but it's habit to bang my shoes out now. :p

Ok, I've been horrendously busy today and just got back to checking up on shit....and my god O.o

I guess first off I live in Utah, but go to school in Colorado, so I kinda live in both states.

This scorpion thing actually happened a good while ago, and it's actually happened TWICE. The more recent one was senior year of high school and I'm now going into my third year of college.


The desert is just a terrible, mean, dangerous place. And yet where I live is also the most beautiful place on Earth if you like rocks at all.

Just gotta be careful, and never EVER put on clothes without inspections.....I relearned that a few days ago when I donned my TL jersey shirt that apparently had a house spider in it, which bit me 6 times on the left side. That reminded me of the scorpion story, and thus my tale was spun.

Also, this includes towels, even if they've been 100% out of use in the closet or whatever. One time I grabbed a towel out of my bathroom (still folded and everything, straight out of the closet) and as I was turning around a fold of the towel unfolded and I was looking directly at a black widow spider about 2 feet or so from my face.


So seriously, if you come to the desert, just don't trust ANYTHING. it will prolly bite/sting/main you.
Never fear the darkness, Bran. The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong.

I've been stung by some of the less-poisonous varieties of scorpion. I can't even imagine the horror of that particular wound being inflicted upon my manhood. That level of pain... ugh. That would be even worse than having a no-lube fap and chafing the poor bugger.

Probably on par with using Icy hot as lube though. Only made that mistake once.
