July 26, 2003The Short, Roachy Life of Francis Macomber...
I killed a cockroach this evening. I sprayed it with a can of Raid in my right hand and swatted it with a broom clutched in my left, all the while yelling, "Die, you sick son of a bitch!"
I wish I were exaggerating about that "Die, you sick son of a bitch" part, but I'm not.
Anyhow, my melodramatic utterances aside, there's one less roach in the world tonight. If I were a member of some shamanic and/or tribal society, I'd probably now be bound to the dead roach in a way that transcends mere life and death. I'd have to make his chitinous little body into some sort of fetish or charm that would give me his ability to...um...scuttle more effectively in battle. He'd look down on me from his abode in Dreamtime and intercede on my family's behalf in times of great crisis.
This would be an excellent time to segue into my theory about how cuttlefish are mini-Cthulu, but my hypotheses don’t pack quite the same punch without the photos. I’ll have to get those aquarium trip pictures developed soon…
