Scorpion Squisher:

View attachment 313749

The little bastard was running across my pool deck last night.
I don't know if you know this but most of this country is pretty scorpion free. Why because all of us pipe smokers already crushed all of them.
But the real question is would you recommend that blend for smoking.

And people wonder why I have a couple Brylon pipes. I can't always be trusted to have an old tin I can use to bonk a scorpion with.

In all honesty, I'd use the Brylon to transport that little guy to an empty Kritter Keeper. I like arachnids, always have. I have a couple tarantulas as pets (more like decorations that I feed crickets to) and have been eying a scorpion or two. Something about combining the best parts of a spider with a tank is pretty cool.

Reminds me of the time my wife found a snake in the house and bashed its head in with a bottle of rosé. Couldnt have it getting the cats. The bottle was the closest heavy object at hand as the book she hit it with didn’t do anything. Yes, my wife’s a badass. And her reenactment of the event is spectacular.

I don't know how far south of Maine you have to go to find scorpions, but I sure hope they aren't migrating up here as it gets hotter.
There may be some in middle Tennessee but I have never seen one and I have been here over sixty years and live on a farm. We have recently gotten Armadillos and damned fire ants up here from the deep south. I've got no use for either.

When I was in Grammar School, my mom didn't react so well when one of our cats brought a garter snake into the house. Quite the to-do of screeching and hollering 'till we got it outside again.
