A killing I will never repeat

So I was at work today (CVS/Pharmacy at 87th & Cicero, first IL location) and up at the front counter at like 4AM or something when I noticed a HUGE fly slowly side-stepping as I approached. Judging from this, I knew that I'd be able to successfully kill it, so I reached for a nearby issue of Glamour and slapped the fucker.

Upon impact the fly was squashed AND snapped in two; I let out a "Holy shit!" and leaned back while I watched the half of the fly hover in air before slowly tapping back to the counter...

... or so I thought it was the fly's other half. What I had appearently managed to do itstead was kill the fly AND disconnect it's maggot abdomen or whatever, which explains why the torso was slowly crawling and writhing with small white worms all over the place.

Smashing the maggots directly into the counter and sweeping the still-twitching but half-wingless and compressed fly into the trash concluded the event. Here I was thinking I'd kill one fly but I killed 20 or so I guess :) Though that insecticide doesn't match the time when I introduced a catepillar nest that infested a shrub outside the store to a bottle of Ronsonol lighter fluid...

reminds me of the mutated bugs I see in resident evil. now that is sick (hurls)

I hate maggots. *shudders*

This is much nicer than me laughing at 9/11... :rolleyes:

?
You were laughing at 911?

For a whole 5 minutes (not counting subsiquent jokes). Read the 911 thread for the scoop... ;)

Oh I see.

Yeah, it's sick how the whole thing has turned into a political and media trump card. I can't even listen to NPR without hearing about the shit, news reports notwithstanding. Patriotism is frightening.

I have a strong dislike for bugs.

I don't like bugs either. Especially spiders.

I had a 2-3 inch spider on my ceiling the other day. A spider of that magnitude is almost unheard of around here. I almost fainted, used about 70-90 sheets of toilet paper to kill that fucker, and almost still passed out.
Stupid arachnaphobia :(
