They're coming for you @_@

This terrifying snack has become part of an in-joke in my friend's group because A: TERIFYING!

B: More terrifying when you are stocking shelves at three AM and come across a crate of this stuff that in not on the paperwork, and open it up, unsuspecting of what horrors lurk withing... Which is exactly what happened to my friend Scott, or else this particular delight may have stayed off our radar.

thinks we are victims of an elaborate viral marketing campaign. This may be true, as both I and Kennesaw independently bought boxes of the to share with our respective Local Branches. I got the Maple Pecan Clusters, and we'll try them at lunch.

Of course the real reason I got them was to leave them in Scott's house when he wouldn't be expecting it. I plan to employ winnifreddetctive for the purpose. Telling her about the plan went a little like this:

Me: I really hope you can come to lunch today
so that we can enact Phase one of Operation Snacklemouth
and set Phase Two in motion
WD: hahaha
I'm planning to make it to lunch
Me: yessss :D
Kennesaw and PersianPenname apparently also got some Snacklemouth
it seems to be a day for it
or perhaps some kind of event horizon is looming
and we'll all become terrifying clown-faced minions of the Great God Sna-K'l
WD: scary
Me: but, hopefully, delicious!

Meanwhile, I expressed to the other Online folks that I wished that I had fake teeth that I could fill the box with, because how epically terrifying with *that* be? SO of course, found me this link to bulk resin teeth on Amazon. Sadly I'm not that patient. But I encourage you to read the top review. Epic.

I was waiting for the bus the other day, and I saw this creepy giant bug perched on the bus shelter frame. It kind of looked like a big wingless bee, so of course I was intrigued.... except it didn't seem to be doing anything. Further investigation revealed that it was just a shell. Was it some kind of larvae? Eater from the inside out by a spider? Who can say! It was firmly grabbing on to the post, even in death, in impressive defiance of gravity. I poked it but it stayed stuck there. It is gone now - I wonder what happened to it?

ETA: It is a cicada shell (thanks aghrivaine!)

I was walking to the store the other day, and I saw this..... thing. It was creepy as all get out, especially before i had any idea what it was. I can see why whoever had it initially dumped it! D:

( oh the creepy! )
