I had a hobo spider climb on to me earlier, my fiance pointed it out to me with a scream. I was considering grabbing my longsword but my shoe sufficed. The damn thing was fast.

Snails are fascinating little buggers.

A roach crawled up my date’s leg inside her jeans in a restaurant one night making a great show of things with her dance. She didn’t say a word, couldn’t due to the screams. WTF, I thought she had flipped out but finally the roach lost his footing and hit the deck. Maybe he just didn’t like the smell (the devil made me say that and God will get me, I know). I then realized the problem and had a good laugh but she failed to see the humour.

If you feel bad about killing snails, there's always the option of chucking them in the neighbor's yard. I not happy about killing them but a machete is faster than pitching them over the wall into my neighbours’ yard. Unlike me they took the easy way out and cemented their surroundings thus avoiding the garden chores. Me, I hate an asphalt jungle. Yeah, that just seems like a terrible waste of a yard.

I then realized the problem and had a good laugh but she failed to see the humour. Thats disgusting, did you still eat the food? Yes. The restaurant was a favourite of mine. The building was a very old adobe building, someone said it had 100 years, with a tree growing up through and out of the roof. The owner must thought me special as their normal fare was cooked a la plancha but for me it was a la parrilla. I love a la parrilla, a la carbón, and a la leña and will go out of my way to have my food prepared as such. They also would serve me tequila by setting the bottle on the table letting me drink my fill. I would mark the shots on the napkin in order to keep track of my tab. I was sorry to see it go. The building became condemned blocked by the official’s tape. About a month or two later I saw the front wall laying across the sidewalk. It had just flopped over. The building was old and not in the best shape due to poor maintenance, and had many leaks that let themselves be known especially during rainy season. Amongst other things that I found unique was they had a hanging side of beef that they would slice off of if that was my desire. There were one or two cats used as mousers. The restaurant had many other charms that attracted me. My food bill went down noticeably after their closing. It’s now a parking lot.

I think there's another, somewhat simpler reason for the snails, too. Monks not only scribed and copied manuscripts, they also tended gardens (because food, yo). And IME the one thing every gardener will agree on is that they HAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE snails. Maybe the knight vs snail paintings can provide some context to Fiore's Flower of Battle
