Joseph (Cougar) Cockroach
Friday, December 14, 2007
Yesterday night i spotted a cockroach at the kitchen sink. Thinking of the best way to get rid of it, i decided to go on default; shoot the shit out of it. So i called on my squadmate Joel and got both of us prepped for the kill. Estimating the possible damage radius, i decided that we had to move some of the detergent containers beforehand. We then proceeded to cock the weapons and fire away.
Joel gave the first shot, it missed. I then took care in lining up my kill and gave it a go. The bullet found its prey dead-on, and actually gave an undesired effect. Apparently the pellet ripped it apart, and caused different appendages to shatter and plop at various locations. as we always do, we regretted shooting it. Not because of Karma, mind you, but because of the bugshit. it was all over and the main body was just disgusting.
We first sweeped up the small bits, which seemed to stick to the wall and reluctant to move. then came the main body. When i sweeped it onto the small dustpan, god, the thing actually limped! You recall the famous scenes in war movies where the hero is shot in the leg, and tries to crawl forward to the gun he had dropped? That was exactly what we saw. It actually tried to help itself up. Joel and i just felt absolutely disgusted. Yeah that's it then. I'll say Karma may catch up to me soon.
