OMG EARWIG

[stoopbeck]

So, I'm sitting at my computer, reading archived Dinosaur Comics, when I feel something tickling my face.

IT WAS AN EARWIG.

ON MY CHEEK. OH MY GOD. I think I need to go lie down. What was it doing there?! How did it get there?! MY CHEEK IS LIKE TWO INCHES FROM MY EAR. (I've heard the whole earwig-can-only-go-one-direction-and-thus-will-burrow-into-your-brain thing is a myth, but I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES)

TIME FOR SOME THRILLING HYSTERICS.

So am I. What was an earwig doing in my room?!

my understanding of the word earwig is something undercover peoples stick in their ear to communicate with other peoples who aren't undercover :| You apparently have a different definition of the word hence my confusion.

Edit: Oh my. so I image googled earwigs and I can see why you'd be freaking out. they do look kind of creepy. I have never seen this type of earwig in person though and I really hope I don't.

On a more humorous note.

The technological earwig got its name from the creepy critter.

Also, apparently not that many people know what earwigs are? I was first introduced to them in Colorado, and then again in Alabama. I'm not really sure where they do and don't live. I do a lot of gardening, though, so I get to come into close contact with them outside more often than I would like.
