So, today I took a shower, pretty standard most would say. But then, being the lazy slob that I am when OUT of the shower, reached for the boxers I had thrown onto the floor. I mean, I had only worn them for half a day, they can't be horrible or anything right?

FUCKING WRONG.

Lift up boxers, out drops a fucking 4 or 5 inch long thick as fuck scorpion. It actually made a THUD sound when it hit the ground.

So here's my protip. Always, and I mean ALWAYS shake out for damn underwear.




A fucking scorpion man.....and it was right where my balls were about to be.


Blah blah losing streak.

Blah blah ladder rage

Blah blah hurting esports

Blah blah how do I talk to girls?

Blog section needs more near death experiences IMO.

related story from a forumer posted on Penny Arcade a couple years back

Munkus Beaver wrote:
I woke up and ran my hand across something. I was in a sleepy daze and confused as to what it was, thinking it may be one of my dog's toys that I was unfamiliar with. I then gazed upon the black beast, the scorpion. I grabbed one of my dog's chew bones and I slammed down on the scorpion. Thinking it dead, I lifted my weapon and checked to see if it was real or a dream.

It was a nightmare, its tail wrapped in a mortal coil, black heart still beating.

The beast was not slain.

It scurried off, desperate to find shelter, uncoiled tail lashing black death at its unseen attacker. I knew I had to strike again, failure here meant a spurned beast yearning for vengeance beneath my hearth and home. Never again would sweet sleep carass me gently into the night while this abomination lurked in the shadows.

STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! Still it moved! STRIKE! Still but not dazed, it scurries more! STRIKE! Its impenetrable shell curses my every move, the black obsidan absorbing each blow into its dark abyss. Its freedom, my doom, lay inches before it. In an act of desperation I lunged, all of my might flowing through the chew-bone, and I pressed forth on the black demon.

I put all of my power, the weight of the world, into breaking the blackened armor of the beast. I held still, never relenting the force, keeping constant, crushing power and holding my entire weight on top of the bone.

*snap*

The armor had broken.

The needle tail lay still.

The beast did not stir.

I was victorious.

Also Australian spider's love making shoes their home, too bad they get smooshed instead of getting an opportunity to sting some guy's goolies.

clicked on this blog thinking, like everyone else, that it would be about a BoxeR quote, and without proper grammar since in that case it should've been titled Boxer's protip; but found something entirely different instead that ended up making my day, 5/5. well-played with getting everyone's attention with that title heh.

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…

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.

Came in expecting grammatically-poor blog about Boxer.

Left in tears


of laughter.

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.

I tend not to wear stuff that has been on the floor especially not after I've taken a shower lol.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

Oh my that was hilarious thanks for sharing your terrifying yet hilarious story The closest incident I had was finding a spider in the underwear I was going to put on after a shower, that gave me a bit of a shock but nothing compared to your horror of finding a black scorpion

Towels are wayyy more scary than boxers because boxers have only been sitting there minutes...towels have been sitting there for possibly days...who knows what kind of shit crawls in there =___=.
