Fairly common in Arizona, especially the further you get from the middle of Phoenix. The smaller the scorpion, the worse off. Most of the small ones haven’t learned to control how much venom they give out.

Doug Melvin’s daughter was a year behind me in college. I could totally humanize the both of them if I wanted to.

Holy fuck. Was it close to that size? I’m not at all afraid to admit I would have shat my pants.

I can’t probably accurately say, but I’d think between 2-3 ft. Wide range, I know, but it was curled up so I can’t accurately say. When I looked up info on these guys, it says they’re around 24 inches long on average.

Damn, everyone should spend some time in a Louisiana swamp. That’s where you learn right quick that it’s et or get et. Nature’s just one giant restaurant, after all.

Arizona is littered with these fuckers, you need to use a black light to see them at night when they come out…

Then the scorpion told Melvin, “It’s my nature.” And it turned into a learning moment.

Scorpions creep me the fuck out. So strange looking. Put them on the list next to spiders and things I refuse to mess with.

A long time ago, my brother had a tarantula that got loose at our house for week. We ended up finding it in my parents bed sheets. So what does my mother do? Let’s my brother buy a scorpion 2 weeks later. They spoiled him.

It turned political, I do remember that

With the right commenters in place, a discussion of tits could become political around here.

how did it get into the rough? slice? and was it a par 4 or 5? and what kind of club was it using for its second (third?) shot? a rattlesnake playing golf would be a sight to behold.

I bet he was using a set of Cobras

Haven’t we discussed anti-venom shots here before? Pretty sure the cost is outrageous. It turned political, I do remember that
