Aquatic Evergestis limbata

So I get in shower after getting home

I do the usual head back and let the water run over the head, then shampoo, soap and clear all the bleeding insects off my chest, arms and legs.

Only.....

What the hell is THAT by my feet???


A moth? Where in the seven levels of Hades did a bleeding moth come from?

<cue flashback>
Me pulling up at home on bike, next doors kids look at me startled
I give a tired, dehydrated and out of breath welcome
Kids are all giggling

I'm too damn tired to care, put the bike away, get a drink and get in the shower


<cue further flashback>
Oooooh, that HUGE cloud of midges and the extra large thud on my head right as get into the village

<cue Oh Bollocks moment>
I had a moth stuck to my forehead. I HAD A BLASTED MOTH SMEARED ON MY FOREHEAD.

Forget Lava Lamps. Forget Mathmos. I am MOTHMAN!

Actually I am totally embarrassed and am going to go and hide somewhere where there are no insects

You were going fast enough to splat a moth with your forhead? That's pretty hardcore. Hope you cleaned your teeth!!

Kieran_Burns

It wasn't ACTUALLY splatted.

More stuck :oops:

Think of a sweaty forehead acting as big pink flypaper :oops: :oops:

No need to admit that, sell yourself more! ;-)

I don't know what you're trying to say?

Mothman is a hero!
