I'm sorry if this is a bit old for the rest of you, but I simply must
thank Amanda the Skrewt-Killer for the story of her encounter with the
mutated creature in her garage.  I had been trapped in the throes of a
very nasty insomnia attack, and since I was too cranky, tired,
petulant, and just-plain-miserable to do anything constructive, I
thought I'd have a look around the website.

I read the story of the Skrewt encounter, and suddenly found myself 
laughing so hard I'm surprised I didn't wake the rest of the house. 
(I too, cannot abide bugs).   I never did get to sleep that night,
but, thanks to the Skrewt Attack I did manage to get through most of
yesterday with a smile on my face...Of course, part of the reason I
was smiling came from the knowledge that I live in a place where such
monstrosities don't exist:  *Eeurgh* is a pretty accurate description!

Thanks again, O Valiant Skrewt Slayer!
