SNAKES ON A SHRUBBERY!

SNAKES ON A SHRUBBERY! by chadmiller.
Titled thus because we're all anxious to avoid what has to be the worst m*th*rf*ck*ng movie of 2006.

---

I was in the back yard with a laptop working, and this winsome 125cm (4feet) fella startled the bejebus out of me by climbing into a bush a few feet from my head.

He's not venomous, so a bite would not kill. However, one's reaction to discovering him is likely to cause one to hurt oneself, and can be a reliable source of comedy to observers.

Thanks.

I would also like to brag that the Exif data show 0.5m subject distance. I shan't do that with a rattlesnake or water moccasin.

Ick. I don't dig snakes, not even a little. How's the laptop? I'm not sure it would have fared well in my scramble to safety. :-)

It's fine. I think I have a reputation for having a cool head; which really means that when I do panic, I don't look or behave much different. So, the computer is fine.
