So, I was walking across the parking lot with a very heavy basket of laundry on my hip, when I was accosted by a man in a suit, wielding a Bible. His opening line, however, gave me my in.

"Miss, what would you say you want out of life?"

I thought about it, shifted the basket a little, snapped my gum. "Well, I'd like a good job, a nice house, maybe a husband and some kids. Money. Money would be nice. And I'd like to pass Russian. But my ultimate goal in life, right now?" He leaned in. "I want to get rid of the motherfucking ants that have infested my bathmat." He recoiled. I shook the laundry basket at him. "Wanna see? One of my cats horked up on it yesterday, and damn, those ants move fast."

He ran like hell.

And you claim to be scared of talking to people?

You're VampyChick off the Straight Dope, aren't you?

Don't be afraid! I am a former StraightDoper and another Tuscalooser. I was Nocturne. I didn't feel like paying to post because I barely posted when the subscription shit started.

Anyway, hi.

Hi! How'd you find me?

Well, I was reading [livejournal.com profile] sicktodeathmx's journal entry and saw [livejournal.com profile] jlrane's comment, and I remembered that I know [livejournal.com profile] jlrane, so I went to her friends list to see if I knew anyone else there.

And then I saw your lj name, and I thought "Hmmmm, that sounds oddly familiar, I wonder if she was VampyChick on the SDMB" and lo and behold! I was right.

They're gone now. The washing machine took care of them.

What's funny is, if he'd just stuck to the usual, "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior" schtick he would never have had to know about my ants. That'll teach him.

Your icon makes me hungry.

Seems to be a fad
