Slithery Mimics

It’s wet here in Texas at my parents house and I’m seeing lots of these little newts crawling around. They have tiny little legs and crawl in “S” shapes to make you think they are snakes, because even tiny amphibians know that you will freak the fuck out and back off of a snake the size of your index finger and view a cute lil newt the size of your index finger as no threat at all.

I took this picture walking back inside the house today of one of them – and no, I’m not a bad photographer, but Brenda (my iphone) definitely is. nothing is in focus, EVER with this bitch.

When I uploaded the pic it took me awhile of it sitting here in this post before I realized that you can’t even see its legs. I only know they’re there because I know. I lived the expirience. You shlubs are just hearing about it second hand, so you’ll believe whatever the hell I tell you. I could say this was a 3 foot snake and you wouldn’t know any better. You might suspect the pebbles in the cement were tiny and thus not in proportion to a large reptile I would have described, but in the end I think we all know that you would have believed me.

Gullible suckers… you disgust me.
