...it's just not my week... I explained above to you all in an earlier post about one of my main fears becoming reality with slugzilla being squished between my fingers out in my garden while moving some bush rock and then having to wash my hands about 4000 times until that ill feeling left me... well... I was back outside in the same area and had to move about 2 ton of soil piled in a mound that had been there for about a year so the soil was quite compact to say the least...
... I was wearing track pants while using a pick-axe and a spade to break the mound up to spread it out all over the whole yard to flatten it all out... there was a huge ants nest within it as I soon found out... they all went crazy and started dancing around as if they were listening to 'Adam Ant' singing 'Ant Music'... I had them all crawling onto my track shoes and then up my track pants... then I was dancing along to 'Adam Ant' singing 'Ant Music' in my mind with them...
...they were those tiny black ants that you see every day... the story doesn't end there...
...some of those little buggers didn't fall of my clothing as I was dancing along with them to 'Ant music'...some were biting my hands... one bit me on the back of my neck!... I couldn't believe that they were still able to hang on to me while I was dancing along so frantically to 'Ant Music'... man they can hang on those little buggers... but the story doesn't end there...
...about 15 minutes later... after I had finished destroying their ant mound... (while still raking them across the entire yard)... I felt an almighty excruciating pain on my... right nut!... yep!... under my right boy!... I immediately ran around to the side of my house out of view to anyone then pulled open my trackies and undies and looked down to around where the pain was... one of those little buggers had bitten my boy!!!!!!... he looked like he was just about dead as I flicked him away... (I swear that the little mongrel was laughing and smiling at what he had done)...
...
how the hell did he find his way there?... I mean seriously... he must have been on an almighty mission of revenge or something... he has somehow managed to hang on all that time during the 'Ant Music' dance-off... navigated his way up through the either the elastic gather at my ankles or the tied cord on my waist and continued his mission of revenge!... he then had to squeeze his nasty pincer-jawed body through the elastic of my undies to attack my poor delicate boy!...
...that little guy got through all of those obstacles to achieve his bloody mission... but the story doesn't end there...
...when my sweet darling wife got home from bingo she could see that I was pissed off about something and she cautiously asked me what had happened... when I explained the episode to her I could detect a stifled laugh within her with a hint of a snigger I swear... but being the sweet lady that she is she didn't actually laugh at my plight... the story doesn't end there either...
...I could feel where I was bitten but because it was totally under my boy... (the right one remember)... I couldn't see it... so then I had to ask her to take a look at it... she said... "I can see where it is all red"... so then I had to request that she rub some sort of ointment from the bathroom cabinet onto it on my behalf... she gave me the 'are-you-serious' look that I know all so well... but because she is such a wonderful gorgeous woman she applied it for me...
... now... although I found it to be strangely erotic that she was doing this for me you have to remember that I was still in quite a lot of pain so the experience wasn't as good as it sounds... the fact that she didn't actually laugh at my plight gave me some sort of comfort in itself...
...we went out for a meal tonight to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and while I was eating my spare ribs I was doing so in discomfort during the whole meal but because the food was so excellent I kind of forgot about my plight... as I'm sitting here now I can tell you that there is a stinging sensation all the time but my boy isn't swelling up so I'll just have to toughen the f@*# up and coast through it I guess lol!... (I know... waaaaaaaay too much information right?)...
...anyhow folks... I hope that my post wasn't too detailed and graphic but I felt that I needed to share it with somebody...
...you know what?... I still can't believe the determination of that little guy... if I hadn't flicked him away in my anger I think that I would've kept him as a little pet in a mini ant farm or something to remind not to ever give up on something that you're trying to achieve... hmmm... I might Google 'Youtube' and look up 'Ant Music' by Adam and the Ants... I can't get that tune out of my bloody head now!... cheers.
EDIT: I just thought that I'd share...
