Justice is swift...& his name is Ruben!

I always make fun of my other half because he wont touch Ruben's superworms in fear they may gnaw on him. Insted he feeds Rube them on a spoon (no im not kidding).
Anyway my other half had just text me to see how the beardies were doing and jokingly warned me about the 'flesh eating worms'. I chuckled at his wussyness and went over to feed Ruben.
Low and behold I pick up a super and it flails around as usual but this time the little buggar flicks itself round and bites my finger just by the nail and draws blood!!
Rube needs to be handfed every day and never have I come across a super that could actually hurt.

Well I screeched like Id be attacked by a lion and shock the worm free (it bloody well hung on) and it landed at the other end of the viv.
Ruben, obviously seeing his momma in peril shuffled off at the speed of... well not light, more like a particularly fast tortoise, and OM NOM NOM'd the evil worm before holding his head up high.

My hero!

Captain Ruben was rewarded for his vailiant deed with chicken babyfood and a nap.

Who says chivalry is dead?

That penguin video is one of my all time favorites. I think I could just sit and watch it for hours.
I dont touch the superworms either. I use the little feeder tongs. They are creepy looking things!!!!!!
Good job Ruben of protecting your mommy.

And Holly, maybe you can put a piece of cake in with Rube and see if it tries to bite him, then you will HAVE to eat the cake to pay back Rube for helping you! Any excuse for cake is a good excuse for cake! :lol:

Ahaha you kill me! Unfortunatly I dont like cake (blasphemy surely?). Maybe I'll try it with a gin and lemon :roll:
3 months without booze or caffine now /jibbers

 

[Jiffy]

Oh my, that really is blasphemy! Not into sweets too much at all, or just not a cake person?

 

[Ethelia]

Not into puddings. No cakes or icecreamy things.
My mother has been known to lure me in with tripple chocoloate brownies or her lemon merange pie though.

Im more of a sweet-ee person. Candy to you Yanks ^_^

 

[gulfbrzdawn]

That's right...you like candy! Did your parents bring you back the candy you asked for when they went to NYC?

I'm about to challenge my memory here....was it...Reece's Pieces and...um...darn it....Jolly Ranchers??????

3 months without booze

This isn't a result of Mark's little stint as bartender when he made you "gin and crickets" was it? :shock:

I don't drink either, alcohol or caffiene, but only because I don't like hangovers (alcohol) and I have enough trouble sleeping (caffiene).

But I am a sucker for a piece of cake (actually the frosting)

 

[Ethelia]

No they didnt Dawn. I sulked for days!
And check your memory out. Im impressed. Fancy sitting my exam for me eh? eh?

Hahaha no Robin it wasnt. I had completely forgotten about that as it happens. Pleh
Nah my kidneys arent working as they should be at the moment so Im having to cut out any stimulants to give them a rest.
Grumble grumble grumble...

 

[Neromom39]

That's right.... I has forgotten that you were going through a bad spell a while back with your kidneys...Please forgive me.. I'm old and my memory doesn't work so well at times

 

[iwoodtoo]

It's good that you have at least one man in the house :wink:

 

[haleygirl272]

HAHA! I have been bit by a super. I just picked it up and PINCH! It dangled on my finger and blood dripped down. I just stared in disbelief, lol. A super biting? That's odd....
