WTF Stories of the Week - Page 265

I can contribute my own "bug" story if you want...

Due to the number of reptiles we have, we buy our super worms (like a meal worm, but with a softer shell - the ones we get are about an inch or more long) 1,000 at a time. Susan picked them up yesterday and left them on the couch for me to deal with when I came home (she doesn't do live food).

By the time I came home, they had chewed a hole not only in the canvas bag they come in, but also the plastic grocery bag that the canvas bag was in. I found about 50 of these worms crawling around. Susan found another one today.

So Theresa; wanna come over tonight to help me look for more?

Precisely why I'm wary of sitting on your couch in the first place, especially knowing what those worms turn into.

Ken's a smart man to make sure the worms for our gecko are in a chew-proof container and also stored away from my view at all times.

Ewwwww! That is not what I'd want to find in my couch!

When people write "alter boys" all I can think is "alter kaker."

Well, there's always hope that this time around they'll produce something entertaining, unlike the first time around.

In general I care about the NBA like BTD cares about clowns so this whole LeBron thing is just background noise to me but I did see the letter the owner of his former team sent out.

A few pithy quotes from the letter:

"deserted" "narcissistic" "cowardly betrayal" "shocking act of disloyalty" "heartless and callous"

Sounds to me like the bitter ravings of an owner who just saw his teams value plummet.

Alex · 07-09-2010, 07:57 AM

Yeah, I agree. There's nothing wrong with a player going where he will be paid the most or feels it is the best fit for what he wants to accomplish whether in the sport or in life.

That said, the way he's handled the process of doing that does quality, in my opinion, as "narcissistic" and "callous." I didn't see it, so maybe it was great television, but I can't believe that ESPN handed over the network for an hour for him to make the announcement.

Ghoulish Delight · 07-09-2010, 07:59 AM

Yeah, that is pretty pathetic. Though I'll grant him the "narcissistic" tag. Not that narcissism is a hard characteristic to find in the NBA, but LeBron's 1 hour tv special (of which I watched none) leading up to the 15 seconds it took to announce the decision which had already been leaked 8 hours earlier took things to a whole new level of narcissism.

ETA: or, what Alex said.
