Roaches

I hate roaches.
When you live in Florida, they're unavoidable though.

I used to hang out with a hippie chick who helped me handle being around them a little better but they used to really gross me out, especially the big ones that fly.

That one segment in the original Creepshow totally ****ed with me when I was a kid, I think. I'm a horror movie buff though. Or maybe just that they really are like everywhere here. Basically if you don't keep raid or some roach motels on hand in Florida, you're gonna have a bad time.

Someone should run for governor on a kill the bugs platform

Fire ants, roaches, and skeeters.

Let the ecosystem crumble - **** all of those

^ Ugh! Been there, done that: the only thing worse than seeing a flying cockroach in the bedroom is when you can't see it anymore.

Because roach is also a slang word, imo, the reduction of cockroach should be 'roach with apostrophe. Any comments before I complain to Yac that Occult Hawk has his thread title wrong?

It's been that way around here too for as long I've known what weed is.

I haven't seen the bug form in a long time though.
