Get off! Get off! Get off!

I have talked before about my paranoia of all things rodent-like (have you checked out the rat below?) Anyway, the guy in this YouTube clip feels about lizards pretty much the way I feel about rats.

He had me at "Let's see how long it is. Hold it out!"

That was too funny. My mom can't stand lizards or snakes, either, and one time she pulled pack the covers on her perfectly made bed to go climb in for an afternoon nap only to find a foot-long lizard in between the sheets. Her screams brought us all running, and she proceeded to mercilessly grill me and my brother as to which one of us had put it there. Funny thing was, neither of us had! And she could tell by the looks on our faces that we were telling the truth... Well, after we recovered from laughing ourselves in to tears and rolling around on the floor, she could tell by our faces. I put the poor lizard out back; he seemed a bit stunned.

Still don't know how he got there, though. :::cue "Twilight Zone" music:::

Lizard: 'Wha? All I did was climb into a nice cool dark place for a wee nap, and suddenly everyone is acting like a dinosaur in the bed.'

I do believe the Japanese panicked less at the sight of Gorjira stomping the shite out of Tokyo.

I take it there's not much love lost between your mother and lizards.

My mother had a somewhat similar response the day I took the cute frog I'd found in to show her while she was in the shower. Apparently it was not so cute when it jumped onto her and its cold little hands stuck to her...

Oh sweet mother of god......I can handle frogs...but not when they jump on me....AND DEFINITELY NOT WHEN THEY JUMP ON ME IN THE SHOWER!
