When asked for a comment on the moth, Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa set down his bottle of Everclear on the desk in front of him and accused the Milwaukee Brewers of making the scoreboard lighting at Busch Stadium brighter and causing the insect invasion.

Creepy is rite! lol

I just remember the guy being informed about the eggs...after he thought he dodged a bullet. omg...

Brilliant plot though.

Do you remember the episode with Joan Crawford? She played a blind woman; filthy rich and willing to pay any price for eyes. ... it was excellent and another ‘twister’ at the end. Love that kind of twist in movies and shows.

ewwww oh and the one where the Nazi was trying to find peace of mind and kept going to the art museum and standing in front of a particularly beautiful canvas depicting a ‘country’ scene with a lake and a boat..and beautiful country scenery. It’s another twister. *sigh*

Looking back Serling must have written all of those as they all had that effect.

I was walking along our yard one day when a tiny little beetle flew right in my eye. I immediately knew it was a beetle and not a gnat because I could feel it walking around on my eyball under my eye lid, gnats are too weak to do that, at leat in my experience... So beetles have this awesome strength and really tough little clingy claws, and the q-tip method didn’t work, it just clung to my eye. Eye drops didn’t do it, nor holding my eye under fast flowing water. I had to literally pluck the thing off the surface of my eye, which it would cling to everytime I tried to get it with the tweezers, without putting my eye out. Just awful, but I can look back at it now and think it was pretty funny. I would love to have a recording of myself trying to get that little SOB off of my eyeball, it would probably cost someone a few billion in fines if they played it on the public airwaves.

This happened to me a few years back. It drove me nuts. It was alive and fluttering.

Yep. I had this happen to me one time on a search and rescue job in Yellowstone Park. It drove me nuts, but had to continue on with the job. On the job was complete (we found the child -safe & sound)...I went to the clinic at Old Faithful and the doc pulled it out. It hurt like hell when he pulled it out. The doc said that he pulled bugs out of people's ears all the time. Once is enough for me.

Send that doc some baby oil.

Painless.

Good job on corralling the kid!

Me too! My mom had me turn toward a lamp light and it crawled out. She exclaimed, “It’s just an ant.”

I’ll never forget the boom, boom, boom and “just an ant.”

My mother always said my ears were so dirty I could grow potatoes in them. I would always tell her that that's the only way to keep the moths out.......

I wish she were still alive so that I could finally prove my point.
