Snake Stories
I grew up in Eastern Colorado on a farm/ranch. I am much better equipped as a City Girl, but I did make it work for 20 years out there. I hated two things there ... tornadoes and snakes (and there were PLENTY of both).

One year, a bull snake fell from the rafters of a barn and landed around my shoulders. The devil snake looked like this:



I nearly pissed myself and ran away screaming.

Now, bull snakes are relatively harmless. They spend a lot of time lounging and eating chicken eggs, mice, etc. Mattered not to me. That little bastard wanted me dead and I knew it!!

I encountered a rattlesnake only once. I was crossing through an open field northesast of my house. It was a beautiful summer day, and the rattler was coiled up. It would shake for a bit, stop for a bit, shake, stop. I stood there (again pissing myself) and waited for divine intervention. My dad happened to step out on the patio and saw me standing there, scared shitless. He hopped on the 4-Wheeler, brought a shovel and took me back home.


And last but not least, ElHeffe had a snake named Santana once. He swore if you stared at Santana's back, you could see someone's face in it. Nope, no staring from me. I do remember ElHeffe came out of his room once with a very long tube of dead skin. He looked at me completely deadpan, and said, "Don't EVER sunburn you penis!" and walked away.

I pissed myself for an entirely different reason then.
