A High School Running Back Was Practicing with a Snake in His Helmet
And not some tiny snake – one that was 10-12 inches long. Thinking back to my days loitering at creeks picking up turtles and fishing, I remember garden snakes being about six inches long. But according to the Benton County Daily Record (via the AP, since the BCDR has a paywall):
“I kept hitting, and it just kept bothering me,” Strzelecki told the Benton County Daily Record.
During a break about 15 minutes into practice, Strzelecki took off his helmet and initially believed his teammates were teasing him.
“It looked like a rubber snake, and I thought somebody had pulled a practical joke on me,” he said. “When I grabbed it by the tail, that’s when it jerked, and I dropped the helmet.”
The snake, 10-12 inches long, was killed shortly afterward.
If a fly lands on my leg, I’m instantly brushing it off. Ditto for a spider or any other creepy crawly insect. How could this kid go through a football practice with a snake slithering around in his helmet?

During a HS golf match we caught a garter snake about that length and stuck it inside the head cover of an opponents driver. Scared the shit out of him on the next tee when he pulled the head cover off and it fell at his feet.

What he said. When I was 12, I was playing basketball in my driveway one day after it had rained. I was taking running to get the ball from under a magnolia tree when something hit me in the head….I though it was a branch until I looked down and saw about a 12 in. long snake on the ground slithering in front of me. Scared the absolute shit out of me.
And speaking of snakes coming out of nowhere, I don’t know where these flying snakes live, but I’m never going there.

I’ve heard a theory that Bieber’s handlers are paying Gomez a huge amount of money b\c Bieber is gay and that if it was outed that he was gay his marketibility, and thus his ability to generate cash, would plummett. Who knows, but it’s an interesting conspiracy.

The hardcore yinzers, the dudes/girls in-your-face Pittsburgh sports fans (Steeler heavy, a little bit of the Pens, then not a fan of most anything else) are terrible. They save all disposable income for the 8 home games are year and think its an excuse to act like idiots and treat opposing fans like infidels(though this is a problem everywhere I would imagine, it seems like its worse here). The accent is beyond terrible though since I’ve lived here so long I can really hit the finer points of the accent. I consider those people the price of admission for living here.

I’ve made the Wife kill things before because her squealing is annoying. It’s a dick move, but she freaks out less now.

sounds like a damn good argument for gun rights, if you ask me.

I have to repeatedly check to make sure it is still dead. Now that I actually have worked up the courage to dispose of one I might be okay. He was so proud of me.

I only lived in one house with cockroaches. It was in college. I lived there for 3 months. We got drunk one night and went into the room where they all hid with fire extinguishers. The only ones that got hurt were those of us that were using the fire extinguishers. Those little bastards can withstand anything.
They used to crawl out of the drain the shower. That was the worst.

You tell me. It’s some kind of parasite the grows in the mouths of certain fresh water fish I think. Oh my god, im gonna throw up.

Your uncle just wanted to take you to a museum. Give him a call…patch things up.

This happens to me too. I wish the kittens were less picky about which bugs they’ll kill and eat. They won’t eat spiders or those crazy centipede things but they will eat june bugs and flies.

Same here. My cat loves frogs and lizards, but won’t eat what I fear most(although she does find them and alert me-good kitty!)

Apparently the only snakes in Ohio are in tattoo parlors.

I lived in eastern Arkansas for years, in the middle of a massive swampy flood plain. There were three poisonous snakes: water moccasins, rattle snakes, and copperheads. Copperheads live in timber and are drawn to houses, barns, the grain bins (where there are rats). Rattlesnakes were mostly in the woods. But because of all the rice farms, the water moccasins were everywhere, and they could reach lengths of 4-5 feet long. They have a mighty temper, and will hiss and give off the most vile odor you can imagine, if you get too close. They loved to eat small muskrats (in the rice fields) and field mice (that lived under the old plastic spillways that cut across the levies). As a kid, at night, I would have to close up the field (which meant closing off the spillways and working your way up toward the well, and shutting that off). So you’d run through the field, at night, being chased by a massive swarm of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were so bad that you didn’t wear boots, because they would slow you down too much. So you rolled up your pant legs, grabbed a shovel and ran from one levy to the next. When you reached the spill, you threw it over the levy, put two shovel’s full of mud on each side, and sprinted to the next. Of course, the mice liked the spots under the plastic spills. And the snakes liked the mice. Lots of times you threw up the spill only to see a 3 foot snake looking right at you. And a few times you kicked them with bare feet, running through the water. At night.

As I said earlier, Fuck Water Moccasins. Copperheads and Rattlesnakes are passive unless you step on them. Dem water snakes will go after you.

Benton County? Where’s that? Arkansas?, Alabama? Mississippi?
