Tell me what you really think.
Found you via Michele, though not during an official game, or anything.
I HAVE entered Blogging for Books before - it's a great contest - and I would TOTALLY vote for this entry. It's a great story - I laughed, I cried...I thought about purchasing some Mr. Clean (would the same treatment protocol work on fire ants, do you think?)
Lovely to "meet" you.
I would love to be one of the first to drop a profound comment on this entry but it just renders me almost speechless. Truly, this is, well- the Mr. Clean, the maternal venom, the wall of dangling snakes- I think you've not only changed the course of the competition but of nature herself.
It has my vote.
I would give anything to see that barbed wire snake garland, really!
You go, Mamacita! Don't take any guff from any dang snakes. KABOOM!!
I've been reading your site for a few weeks now (don't even recall how I stumbled across you!) and I think you are hilarious! I love the story, and it's got my vote...hope you don't mind that I slithered into your blog!
Great story...however, it did make my skin crawl...what with all the snake talk...ew!
Good luck, anyway ;o)
Yes, I remember it! I guess we have a winner! This is my second-favorite story, right after the flaming rats!! Good luck!
Good Gawd - what a story!
Seeing all those snakes would have sent me on my own voyage...completely around the bend. Yeef!
I remember this one. You may be surprised with a victory!
I give you credit just for entering.
I couldn't do it.
You can't see it, but I'm bowing before you in homage to your bravery. No way would I have ever gone out the back door again after hearing there might be a snake out there, much less blow them the hell up.
You have my vote!
I would have paid cash.money. to have seen that. What a great story!
Oh, Mamacita, you snake charmer, you.
Holy Crap! Ain't no way, no how.*SHUDDER* I am so calling you if I ever find myself inundated with slithery pests. You RAWK!
We had a snake litter eruption in the yard at my Grandparent's farmhouse in rural Illinois one time when I was a kid, and I vaguely remember our pet collie Ginger attacking the swarming fiends and laying waste to most of them in short order. Great dog there.
I laughed almost as hard as I did the first time I read this. Meanwhile, I'm off to look for that flaming rats story--I'm not sure I've read that one!
(Hitting self on forehead with palm of hand). How could I have forgotten the rat story???
Woohoo! I'm reading the final seven--and thrilled to be in such exalted company. Hilarious story. My cats would love a snake den--they're the snake killers at my house.
Congrats on being a finalist! Well deserved. My favorite funny, awful, well-written story!
Congrats on making the top seven. There's some TOUGH competition this month and I'm honored to be among the seven. I'm betting your entry makes the top three!
