The Couch 119: Come Join The Human Shelf!

Yes they can!

And Henry II of France.

Excitement over. Child claimed.

Did the parent say why the child was in the road unattended?

The dingo could've got that baby!

I found a kid at the county park beach one time, i just took him to the beach canteen, his mom was there frantic. I felt weird picking him up. I like explained to everybody around me "is this anybodys kid? Im gonna take him to the lifeguard station" but pretty much everybody just ignored us.

Geography's a little off, Unaluna. A Weta could have got that baby. Damn prehistoric crickets.

Still can't think of anything bad about my Grandma. Maybe I should stop consciously trying to think of things.

Now I have Henry the eighth I am stuck in my head...

Hurray! It's not my birthday anymore no more expectation that I'll smile and be grateful.

Grandfather. Turned his back for five seconds.

Holy wow I freaked out! No way, no how, would I be holding that thing.

That is more insect than I ever hope to meet! I had a Cicada killer get in the house once and it scared the living daylights out of me.

T got back from vacation and we met today. I am hoping that my anxiety will drop a little now.

I need a cicada killer. I still can't find the cicada in my house. Every evening drives me spare,

Omg Texas has monstrous cicadas why did no one warn me. And the heat makes them louder than a lawnmower. (First world problems. Cicadas wake me up)

I think they are cute! But I have always loved insects.

They can be frozen solid and still come back to kill again.

Just what we need Terminator insects.

I so want to be supportive to other users but I am crap at it. Maybe I'll go back to my supportive interpretive dance.

I don't want to freak you out, but I lived in Texas for 3 years (Austin) and every time it got hot and humid, massive cockroaches would appear in my house (despite the biweekly cleaning service). Ugh ugh ugh. I learned how to squash bugs without pity or squeals of "ew! Ew! Ew!" there.

Do go down to Austin if you can. It's an interesting city. SXSW in the spring and Austin City Limits in the fall are good excuses to make the trip.

Just imagining your supportive interpretive dance cheers me up!

Maybe we should have a Couch conga line. Or put on a Busby Berkeley musical.

I'd have to be drunk to join the conga line. Alas, I gave up drinking. I'll be cheering from the sidelines, though!

Did somebody say conga line? Let's do this!!

A conga line has got to be foolproof for not putting eyes out, right?

We can do crocus' sand dance from the other day. That was literally supportive. Did you see it? You. Will. Die. In a good way, of course.

Im not surprised the sand dance was from the 1930's, same as the busby berkeley musicals. They had that same... uh... feel.
