this is what I've noticed

When snake experts explain the basics of snakery to snake novices, they always begin by insisting that snakes are not slimy.

I'm guessing they're not familiar with the concept of "snakes all up in it".

I know! Any sucker could tell them that when it's snakes all up in it, there will necessarily be slime. Dummies. I guess they want me to believe that frogs don't cause warts, too.

That reminds me of Charles Fort and weird stuff in nature. Apparently, it rained frogs in Texas way back when.

I'm a snakecharmer from way, way back. Snakes are actually rather dry and cool.

'Course, if they like you, they warm up.

Weren't it toads that cause warts?

You mean you ain't a beecharmer, Idgy?

No, it's *you* that is slimy, and clammy, when there are snakes all up in it.

The snakes are just smooth and cool.

Of course, if they were warm and fuzzy, we wouldn't be eskeered of them.

Now that's a cow of another color.

I want to go to one o' them churches where they handle snakes. I bought my mom a book about that years ago (yes, we're weird), but I never read it. I should steal that back from her.

All them little pissy bastards! They'll give ya warts quick as look atcha.

It took me a minute, but I got the reference. :)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It ain't the bitey poisonous stuff, it's the slime.

[carocrow.livejournal.com]

Do you just want to *go* or do you want to handle the poisonous snakes?

You know they'll bite you if you ain't pure, boy.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

BRONK, hell no, I just wanna go and gawk! A kid like me has NO BUSINESS handling those jokers if they're unkind to the impure.

I am seriously in non-erotic love with Fannie Flagg ;-)

The secret's in the sauce.
