Hit a magpie at 70mph on my shin, run over a rabbit, and a wasp managed to get inside my jacket and stung me in my tummy button. But worst was while driving along I could feel something inside my helmet (crash helmet) stopped looked and found nothing, stopped at Kentucky placed the helmet on the table and a earwig crawled out. Totally freaked me. (Big girl).
My cat takes great delight in pissing against the bike in the garage, if I dare leave the door open and turn my back on the little sod.
ken - you appear to be randomly talking about your cat? are you ok? whilst on the subject, my little sh!tbag of a cat brought in not one, but two chicks the other night to play with in our room at 2am, and now we cant have the velux open in the ensuite as he manages to jump up, and climb out on the roof of the house??? the opening is about 5'5" of the floor ffs??
My brother took a wasp in his mouth..he was riding his Harley with an open faced helmet.. i dont think he swallowed it, but he had to go A&E as his tongue was huge! you can imagine how that ended!
I once had a fly hit me in the eye, only doing about 30 or so with my visor up. Hit me straight in the eye and I had to go to A&E the following day as what I thought was just bruising, turned out to be one of the little buggers legs actually stuck in my eyeball.
Well, it's an animal/stroke bike story, and I'm trying hard to fit in. He is my only friend, despite him continuously plotting to kill me. I probably spend more time in his company than anyone else, even though most of that time he spends sitting in front of me with his back, purposely turned to face me. We share a mildly sociopathic dislike of the bulk of the lifeforms that surround us, the only difference being that he actively tries to solve his issues by mass culling of all the lifeforms that surround us. Seeing that we are flanked by a cemetery, an orchard and, incredibly, an RSPB sanctuary, our house and garden frequently resemble a diorama of Omaha Beach made entirely in feathers.
If your going to get an animal you might as well have the one that has a use, and that's difficult with cats!
Nah, not really. Dogs are over active ADHD teenagers with severe oedipal tendencies, rodents don't do a massive amount interesting except sit in the corner smelling, horses are all border line insane, birds...well birds in cages are automatically not doing the one thing about them that's interesting, fish? I've got a screensaver of fish that never needs cleaning. My cat, on the other hand keeps me sharp. I'm careful not to walk around the house in the dark in case he's lying in wait for me. He doesn't cling to me like some psycho girlfriend. If I forget to feed him, he sorts himself. When he's cold, he'll curl up on my lap, which is handy 'cos I'm usually cold at those times too. He can do nothing whatsoever and still look reallll good doing it. That makes me laugh. I know he's secretly plotting to kill me, but that's the risk I take for having a companion who's always there but never in the way.
