Holy motherfucking shit.

I was in my little guest house cave, finishing up some last minute work 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 big.

aaaaaugh!
big

First Paul is scraping at it with a broom handle, then trying to hose the thing down, and the finally grabs the motherfucker with chopsticks, which allows me to get a few good pictures of it.

oh
my
goodness

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!
