DON’T TREAD ON ME
fuck me. there’s a rattlesnake on the back porch. I took
a pic. yikes. I know what to do. you have to chop
it’s head off with a shovel, but dayum, I’m not up to that today.
plus it’s on concrete and I don’t know how well that would work.it’s gone now. you know, after I prodded it with a broom and
threw a log at it. I still feel guilty about that… of course I
took a piccie after looking for buttons on its tail. it didn’t
look like it had any. then I poked it with the barbeque tongs.sometimes I am just too fucking stupid to live… too lucky to die.
fodonniedarko says it’s prolly a bullsnake. she still says I’m stoopid tho.

bahaha, dude, i don’t mean to laugh at your obviously heroic efforts to save yourself and your offspring from this certainly potentially deadly reptile, but barbeque tongs? have you learned nothing from that alligator hunter idiot? bbq tongs are for monitor lizards. you have to use a spackle trowel and doilies for rattlesnakes.
my dog kills all the snakes that come near the house.
oh and i’m moving again – sucks huh?
somewhere, at some point, some sick fuck is going to search for “foot fetish with snakes” and have the time of his damn life with this picture.
I personally only like it for the foot part, but that’s irrelevant.
you shouldn’t dare nature like that, really – he could’ve rattled just right that it made lightning strike.
or something.
UCK!!! Snakes freak me out. I would have squealed like a girl and ran.
it’s tiny, yo.
well as brave as you thought you were… not a rattle snake. but I’m sure it was vicious man, vicious!!
there was a snake by the front door today (one of half a dozen we’ve seen since we’ve moved here). at least it wasn’t the giant 4 footer we saw a couple months ago. or the rattler that tried to eat my puppydog. yikes.
Snakes are ok, but not close up. You are v v v brave. I would have sh*t myself.
I don’t think you’re stupid, but then again I like snakes and probably would have tried to pick it up if it didn’t have a rattle, so I’m probably not the one to be judging anyone’s stupidity…
man, you are Nuts… and i have to disagree with Rache. it’s the eyelash curlers that work best for rattle snakes. everyone knows that.
Y’know, in Australia? Snakes are protected. The fourteen deadliest snakes in the world are Australian natives, and they’re all protected. No beheadings by shovel over there
I love that you’ve got your foot in a picture of a rattler. So something I would do
A few years ago, Dad was sitting in the living room and out of the corner of his eye caught something flickering underneath the sofa. It took him a few seconds to get from, “How’d Felix get under the sofa?” to, “Cats’ tails don’t have a forked tongue..”
But this was Brisbane and the friend who arrived in the doorway just as Dad was leaping onto the chair had had a similar experience recently and put him straight. http://www.snakecatcher.com. I kid you not. They might not cover America, though
All i know is that my foot would sooo not be in that picture.. it would be inside.. on the carpet.. pic taken from a window.. you sher do have purdy toes tho
the poor little itty bitty snake–attacked by tongs and then a log was thrown at it….
Only 5 more of those and you can make a pretty nice belt…
it was two feet long… just what are you saying about my girth??
yes, but at least you have cute toes!

I thought Kat sent me one of those critters last night. Turned out it was a pasta maker
I’m thinking your big toe scared it away forever.
