HELP. ME.
I need to pick the fucking potato bug up and throw it away. I ask you...
COULD YOU PICK THE FUCKER UP WITHOUT THROWING UP OR CONVULSING?
I can't freakin' do it.

I will pay for help and NO, I'm NOT corrupting my vacuum cleaner with that spawn of satan.

would you totally freak if his buddies came by like little potato bug marines that didn't leave a man(bug) behind and carried him away?.....or better yet...how about that last story of the 'Creepshow' movie.....ugh...I think I just grossed myself out

ACK!! ... I say cover it up with a paper towel and stay out of the bathroom until the boys are home!
BLECH!

Dude. Do NOT fuck with the mind of a pregnant woman who has that thing in her bathroom. It's just wrong, plus you could easily get your ass kicked if said pregnant woman is so inclined.

Whoa...I was way wrong on what I thought a potato bug was. Here we call the greenish-colored lady bugs "potato bugs". I couldn't figure out why you were so freaked out - just figured maybe it was a pregnancy thing...but now I understand!

Nice bug!

Good Lord! Call out the Space Marines and Ripley. Potato Bug sounded like a harmless little thing (like Mr. Potato Head) but geez that is out of Alien or Starship Trooper!

Gross - get the leafblower. Or sweep it out if you have hardwood floors. But then you'd have a trail of alien-type-bug guts, that's not good. I have no clue. I have NEVER seen a big that big and ugly. Potato bug is definitely a misnomer.

aw man. he spooged on the floor too. I say make Andrew do it. don't boys like bugs or something?

Hell, I'm convulsing just looking at it from the safety of my computer.

Saw a hole in the floor around it.

I'm with Babs here. I wasn't prepared for that. My answer: I have no clue. Question: How do you explain to the E.R. that you're having chest pains after seeing something on a blog??

I would go out, by an end table, cover the bug with it, and voila! move on with my life.

i've never seen one of those before. are they really that big?
after once pulling two dead rats out of my victorian toilet, i could deal with that. but not without a desire to pack up and move out. gee whiz, good luck.

DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNN! That's one ugly bug.

I thought the gigantor evil Florida cockroaches were the most disgusting bugs I'd ever seen. I was so very, very wrong. I couldn't deal with that thing. I'd be afraid that if I tried to kill it I would just piss it off, and that it would attack me and eat my head. But I've been told that I'm a little weird. It could just be me.

MOON BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let your dogs eat him, my cats eat any bug that comes into my place, don't dogs do the same? if not, then you could always just leave him there and maybe he'll majically dissapear, or decompose whichever comes first....

Everytime I saw a beetle bug when I was pregnat I threw up.
I feel for ya.
Posted by: muffet at December 12, 2003 09:24 AM
Jesus Christ, that looks like something out of Alien. Too bad I don't live nearby, my dog eats bugs. She'd pick it up for you. :)

Holy Shit! I thought I was going to see the nice picture of the Potato Bug!
Did I just say that? Is there such a thing as a nice picture?

FUUUUCK!!
Okay. You have just given me my first blog-induced heart attack.
Shit.
