Another Reason to Run Naked Through the Bush Down Under!
These kinds of encounters happen fairly often in Australia, apparently. In homes and footwear and discarded soda cans and so on and so forth. For a snake so poisonous, though, I wish “they” had been more creative when coming up…

NEVER Canonize Anyone With a Unibrow. Also, Don’t Try to Clean a Florida Man’s Pool

Hear, hear! But This is Only True for the Cowardly and Untalented
Real artists don’t follow anyone’s rules or dogmatic formulations to the letter, luvvies. But by all means, let fear inhibit the weak and winnow-out the dreck.
