Chiggers, Black Bears, and Assorted Creepy Crawlies

Someone the other day complained about a little red bug they'd found in their bed. I believe to my soul it was a chigger. Yep, at up to one-twentieth of an inch, some of those little red boogers are big enough to see. They don't actually suck your blood or burrow under your skin, though. What they really do is latch onto your socks, crawl up and find a warm, comfortable spot, insert a straw, and proceed to liquefy your skin cells, which they will then suck for about four days. And you will itch like a dog in a flea factory. Nice. And everyone who visits asks if they will see a bear. But someone I met last week was scared of a squirrel. Oh, come on! Now, you can come to North Georgia and complain about chiggers. We'll grant you that. And gnats... that's a given. Black bears? I don't blame you. But being a-skeered of a lil old squirrel? How chicken is chicken?

So be forewarned... If it flies, itches, sucks blood, latches onto your underpants, crawls into your bed uninvited, or bites off your head and spits it out ~ it is native to North Georgia and you will very likely meet one here... Welcome to the mountains!

Hillbilly Hot Tub

Here's the other commercial I was looking for. I just saw this for the first time last night. Sick. Really sick! I love it. Quizznos.... Ummm, ummm, ummm. Tasty!

Hilarious Geico Emergency Road Care Commercial with talking pothole

I can't get enough of this crazy commercial. Surely it has to be Reese Witherspoon's voice... that's what I'd swear too, but then I find that there are quite a few wild guesses out there as to whose voice this is. I don't think it's that girl from Miami Vice. Her voice is much flatter. If you've never seen this ~ please treat yourself to a laugh. Enjoy!
