These never get old. The artist's website has some great stickers too.

The book is a great addition to the coffee table. Everyone picks it up, reads a couple of the reviews and laughs.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Do they squish when you stomp on them?

I don't like scorpions.

to be fair, they probably don’t like you either (if you’re trying to step on them)

most are entirely harmless, even if you get stung (unless you happen to be allergic)

there is a pretty good correlation between stinger/tail and pincer size and venom toxicity or clinical relevance…thick tail and weak pincers = nasty sting

I know. Bugs with stingers and too many pairs of legs freak me out.

Your comedy routine definitely needs some work.

10/10 A+ for effort though.

had a pretty gnarly run-in out hiking.

Up a forest road, we come around corner and see a big bull moose snacking in the meadow along the edge of the road. We're still a couple hundred feet from the critter, so we just stay put and observe from afar. We don't want to approach him, rather just let him pass through whichever way he wants.

He checks us out, pointing his ears at us. Then goes back to munching. We let him take his time, hoping he just moves along. Suddenly, he starts walking straight in our direction, not really a full-on charge, but a very deliberate gait, and also ears pinned back huffing and puffing like he thinks he's behind QT.

We bail up the side of the ridge in the other direction, then take a very wide angle scrambling over boulders until he's far enough behind us we can get back on the forest road. He goes back to munching in the meadow like it never happened.

I fucking hate moose.
