…but how about the freakin’ centipede<\/em> in the pants? Well, that’s what I had yesterday, yo!<\/p>\n

Was working out in the field, having a good old time in the beautiful Hawaii sun, and felt a disturbance inside my boxer-briefs. Felt like a stick (or what) poking me. So, no worries, just pull down the pants and remove the object, n’est pas? Sure, sure; until the object turns out to be an Hawaiian centipede<\/em> (cf. my previous<\/a> post on this topic)!<\/p>\n

Luckily, it declined to bite me. One of my co-farmers was certain that a small red marking in the area was a bite; but it didn’t hurt none at all.<\/p>\n

However! I never did mention here that I have<\/em> felt the centipede’s wrath. Christmas night it was, more less exactly at midnight (let the UFO-ists suss out the meaning of the date and time). I had been sound asleep, but was awoken by the jolt of pain. I assumed it was a centipede, but couldn’t find it for a while; so thought it might’ve been a spider, or what have you, instead.<\/p>\n

I finally did find it, in my auxiliary blanket (which, mind, i no longer keep rolled up next to me on the bed). It was a fairly small specimen, so the pain was only about as intense as a bee’s sting — though persisted for several hours. I was fine by morning. Maybe such a benign experience hardly even counts as a true-on Centipede Encounter. But that’s all I gots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
