I don't think I told anyone that while I was cleaning out my Lilacs this Saturday I had a most interesting experience. I was pulling some weeds when I felt like someone applying pressure to my left index finger. I lifted my hand to see what was going on and there was a little brown snake chewing like crazy on my finger. :sick2: It was only about a foot long and about the thickness of a #2 pencil. Size didn't matter to me though. I shook my hand rapidly as if I was trying to get a booger to fly off my finger and was lunging backward all at the same time. :sad3:
My wife asked me what was going on, so I calmly told her that I had been bitten by a snake. I had decided that since I only had minutes to live, I might as well enjoy them with by beloved wife. She ran over to me, because (she later told me) she thought I was fixing to fall over dead. My face had turned white and I was moving back and forth like a drunk man. :shrug:
She went and got our neighbor who calmly picked the snake up and said, "It's no big deal, it's just a little ground snake". Whatever the hell that is..... :shock2:
He told us that I would live, but I still wasn't convinced. I was for sure that I was in the preliminary stages of a massive heart attack. :huh:
Needless to say, I survived, but once again I was done with yardwork for the weekend.
That makes two weekends in a row that something has chewed on me while I was working in my own yard. :pout:
I think this Saturday I will just go get a few cold beers, set on my couch and watch football. Surely nothing will bite me in there............Will it??? :wo: :holdon:
American yard work is one of the most dangerous occupations there is. Even ranks above logging and Bering Sea crab fishing. :readthis:
I refuse to participate. :nofgr:
:alscalls: As I read into that I thought you were going to drag us with into the house to share your last moments alive with you and your wife. :sick2:
Sounds like you need to go kill some stuff....... in the yard....... :eyebrownod:
:puke:
I would have died :readthis:.
:confused: I notice you were the only one who saw the snake in this story... sure you ain't just trying to get out of yard work? :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:
Opps I'm going to have to get some glasses. :doh2:

Are ya kidding CC?
I don't know if you are aware of this, but me and Mr. No Shoulders don't get along. :nono:
And here I thought you were a true son of hte south. :noway: Didn't even get a good look at the snake what bit ya . Heck I found 3 garter snakes this summer working in hte yard myself. I didn't think it was that big a deal. Your supposed to pet them and move them to safetey before ya go and try and mash'em with yer grubby paws. :nono:
Almost forgot about the black racer that tried to get on hte riding mower with me. He got in to big a hurry and wound up in hte belts. Greased 'em well enough they slipped for the rest of the day. Still not that big a deal. :biggrin: Jimmie
Well it might have been a ground snake, but most snakes like the ground. I am sorry to hear about your finger, but glad it wasn't a little rattle snake. From what I have heard the little one injects all their venom where an adult only injects a small amount.
I do think you need to rethink the yard work.

I was waiting for someone else to say, it but nobody seems to want to express their true thoughts, so here goes. I just can't believe how mean you are, shoving your finger down that poor, little, baby snakes throat in an obviously cruel attempt to choke it to death. :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:

BITE ME ART!!!!
:laf: :laf: A funny guy eh? :wink:
Did the snake die from the fatal bite....? :hahaha:
I'd of loved to have seen the video of that!!!
On a serious note: non-poisonous snake bites can be infectious. :huh:

Poor little snake. That musta felt something like having a bus poked down your throat.
:alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:
ROFLMAO!!! :laugh2: @ 5SHOTS
Quick huddle guys. :holdon:
{Bopeye whispers to the offense} Can I give two Bite Me's to the same guy, in the same thread? This is new ground, so help me out.
After further review it has been decided that it is a legal play!!
BITE ME AGAIN ART!! And I do guarantee you that biting me will definitely feel like a bus going down your throat. :alscalls: :alscalls:
Now there was a certain etiquette to the bite me in a thread , nad bop trashed that ettiquette with triple dog biteme
