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.

baby scorpions are called scorplings

learn something new every day…

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

Squish them all

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

scorpions are one of my least favorite things on this planet.

Do you know what you call a baby Jayhawk?

the shorter mascot?

An illy

i thought the lead-in to that punchline was about a faux Jayhawk

Yeah, that would be better. Or wannabe.

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.

moose are delicious. Best meat out there
