Holy motherfucking shit. I was in my little guest house cave, finishing up some last minute "work":http://feralboy.com/log/archives/nizzle/ stuff, when April came running to my window.

"Matt, come outside! There's a huge scorpion out here!"

I go out, and sure enough, there's a big-ass scorpion out there. Like, "Clash of the Titans":http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082186/ big.

First Paul is scraping at it with "a broom handle":http://feralboy.com/photoalbum/photos/20040916_scorpion/P1010013.JPG, then trying to "hose the thing down":http://feralboy.com/photoalbum/photos/20040916_scorpion/P1010016.JPG, and the finally "grabs the motherfucker":http://feralboy.com/photoalbum/photos/20040916_scorpion/P1010021.JPG with "chopsticks":http://feralboy.com/photoalbum/photos/20040916_scorpion/P1010022.JPG, which allows me to get a few good pictures of it.

For all you bleeding-hearts out there, yes, we threw it out into the backyard scrub, where I'm sure it lived to _fright_ another day. Hah! I'm punny!
