Ok, so if you haven't noticed, I'm not much of a blogger, but today I ran across a link that I just had to write a post about.

Now, I like to try and overcome my fears (I was even talked into bungie jumping at my bachelor party weekend, but that's another story). I'm not really afraid of bugs, in fact, I think they are kinda neat. Although, I squish the Black Widows I find around the yard for safety reasons.

But, the one bug I can't stand, the bane of my existence, is the cockroach (ugh...shudder). I think I have traced the root of my fear, why I always freeze up for a split second when I see any reasonable sized roach, to a childhood memory involving a science museum display of a typical household kitchen, covered wall to wall with roaches! I mean they were just glued on EVERY AVAILABLE INCH! I don't know what they were trying to demonstrate, but if the experiment involved traumatizing little kids, then that's some powerfully effective science.

So, today, I stumble across this link on my favorite hot deals board.

WORST THING EVER. 

I suppose I should buy one and sleep with it next to my pillow. That could either cure my fear, or cause me to die from exhaustion.

Deuce, if you're lookin for more of your twisted halloween fun...
