There's a frying pan in my front yard
Last night I cooked, and I was so proud of myself for doing it because I almost never do. "I could get into this," I thought. "This is a lot healthier and cheaper than eating out every night." Then, as I took the frying pan down off the hook, I was reminded why I hate the kitchen and hate cooking and hate hate hate hate insects.
There was a big bug sitting right there in the pan. I immediately screamed and jumped, which knocked me into the shelf where a teetering lid stood, which then fell onto a glass on the counter, which shattered all over the counter and floor. And the bug just sat there.
I didn't know what to do with it, I was so shaken that I couldn't stomach the idea of grabbing it with a paper towel. I sat and stared at it for a minute and then just decided to bring it outside. I overturned the pan and shook it with all my might. The bug clung. I thumped the pan repeated against the ground. Still it clung! Of course, by this time I was nearly in a tizzy. When I saw it move one of its tentacles, I'm sorry, but I just lost it. I whipped that frying pan halfway across the yard and ran in the house.
Now I don't even want to walk in the grass because of that stupid bug, so the pan is still sitting there. People let their dogs defecate in that grass and my pan laid there all night. What is my problem?

the bug most likely wouldnt have been there IF you would cook more and use your pan!! :P
oh remember the little bug that came out of your sponge when you were doing dishes? EW.
Oh crap, I'd forgotten about that. I wish I knew why I insisted upon being so nasty.
I haven't cooked a meal since I made chili that one night when I was living in Georgetown. I'm not counting stuff like making grilled cheese sandwiches and the like.
I really need to start cooking again. Maybe once I have total reign in the kitchen when my roomies move out I will go back to cooking. BTW - A George Forman Grill is an essential item in the kitchen.
Ginger if you leave that pan out there soon there will be big centipides under it. And probably a strange outgrowth on a plant that is now without light. And maybe a fungus or two. I think you had better send someone else out for the pan. What'd you have for supper then?
Hey Ginger, you better not leave that pan out in the yard too long. You might find big nasty centipedes under it. The plant life now suffering from light deprivation may sprout a deformed shoot. And don't rule out a fungus or two. You better send someone else out to get your pan. By the way, what'd you have for supper?
Oh mom.
I had a similar experience of poor customer service at the post office the other day, except I was threatened to have the police called on me. I just don't understand how your poor customer service and my inability to have my questions answered about shipping a package to an APO, but arriving in Iraq, necessitated a threat to call the police. Ghetto beotches!
