Caught me a cobra
 

Nothing like walking into your house at night and finding a hooded snake looking at you, even if it was a small one.

Fortuantly I was able to dispose of him safely.

And yes, I will be leaving my lights around my house for the next couple of nights incase there are any more around. I'd hate to step on one in the dark.

Safely, as in chopping the bastard's head off with a shovel, scooping him up, and tossing the remains in the neighbors yard?

Because that is how I would have done it.

DD's bats don't sound so bad now.

oh fuck - my wife would absolutely have a cow...

I used a butcher knife, and I tossed him in a trash can (there are no neighbors, I live on a school campus) but that that was the general idea.

DD,

I take it that you and your mrs. will not be moving to malaysia anytime in the near future.

dola - and I would have a cow too. scooper is right - I'll stick to bats thanks.

I'd move. Right then and there. Just leave the snake the furntiture. Bye bye.

My girlfriend caught my cobra last weekend. Definitely wasn't a small one. It shot out venom, but she disposed of it safely.

What the hell? Where do you live?

I just told her your story, and we weren't planning to move there anyway, but the chances are slim to nil now.

Actually it is my second one that I found. The first one was about 4 years ago. I thought that it was just a racer, so I got a broom and tried to sweep it outside. It didn't like that idea and hooded up. that one was also small, just about a foot long

Of course my favorite story is when some of our senior guys caught a 6 foot cobra, killed it and then ate the heart raw. High school kids sure do some stupid stuff.

Was it this Cobra?

well, thanks for the ride, but I think I'll just get out here if it's all the same to you.

Penang Malaysia. THere have been about 9 or 10 cobras on campus in the 7 years that I have been here. Just part of living out here.

Why do you live in Malaysia?

Because Madagascar had too many Lemurs

When I lived in El Paso out next door neighbors had a rattlesnake get into their house. The wife saw the snake but she thought that it was one of her son's toy rubber snakes. She was just about to pick it up and put it away when it started rattling. Apparently she was within a foot or two of it when she realized that it was real. Very lucky woman. She could have wound up like their dog, which the snake killed...

No snakes ever got into our house, luckily. Just the occasional scorpion (my brother and sister both got stung, but never me!) and one time a tarantula...

I am a missionary, working at a boarding school for Missionary kids. I am one of the dorm parents.

So, it's safe to say you enjoy your missionary position?

well, he is in a missionary position with kids....

Actually, I love it. It is the best job that i have ever had. Unfortunatly, this is my last month here. I am getting ready to move bact to the USA, where I am going to be starting a new ministry with college aged missionary kids. I will miss Penang, but I will be nice to not have to worry about cobras, especially with my baby coming next month.

Oh...I you were making a joke. See us missionaries will always miss perverted humor like that.

mmmmmm college aged missionary position

:)

Where in the States are you moving to stkelly? Is it in the Seattle area (as I seem to recall...)?

Yes, we are moving back to Seattle.

Sorry... cheap joke at your expense there, stkelly... anyhow, what church is sponsoring your mission?

The school directly hires its staff, but the school is run by the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Southern Baptists, Mission Aviation Fellowship and a couple of other missions.

As for our next ministry. We are starting up our own Non-profit Organization, so we will be spending the next year traveling around and trying to raise our support from where ever we can get it.

Ditto.
