Er. Beware of snakes?

[azurelunatic]

Via hakeber beckyzoole (woops, wrong person right general name!), who had the excellent timing to have this on my friends page just as I was finishing up reading a very, very intense SG-1 fic (with snakes in).

"Snake Slithers Into Reporters Pants On Live TV" (Watch on YouTube)

Note: not for those who fear snakes. Really. Even though this snake is really friendly. *Really* friendly. Beverages should not be brought into the snake-cooler.

Perfect antidote to A Howling In The Factory Yard, which is the only fic that I have seen synecdochic issue warnings for.

Bwah. That's great. =) (And such a purty albino Burmese! I'm not big on the giant breeds, but still, purty snake.)

It starts *trying to pick his pocket*. :D

I don't remember posting that one, but I do remember watching the footage on our local news. So funny!

My mistake -- it was beckyzoole.

Well, we are all Rebekah's/Rebecca's...and yes, now that you mention it, I do recall her posting this.

That's hilarious. I love the way the reporter just keeps pattering away throughout -- with a giant snake undulating away around my package like that I would have been just absolutely mortified, I think.

Oddly enough, it did serve to increase my appreciate of and affection for snakes. I've been getting much more relaxed about snakes over the years...still can't tolerate spiders though.

That had the distinctive ring of panicbabble and keeping a good face on it, from where I was sitting.

Very cute snake.

Oh, definitely panicbabble, but being as professional as possible throughout when he probably wanted to just scream "OHGODIT'SCRUSHINGMYNUTSGETTHEFUCKINGTHINGOFFAAAAAAAH!!!!", which is approximately how I would have been.

Definitely a cute snake.

When *I* was playing with an albino Burmese python in front of a camera, it didn't do that. *sniffle* I'm feeling so unloved.... *guffaws*

Were you wearing shorts?

[tygerr.livejournal.com]

Um...I'm not sure? (I was wearing whatever struck Ellie's fancy that day, but beyond that I don't recall.)

[tygerr.livejournal.com]

I *am*, however, quite clear in my memory regarding wearing the *snake*. Which is really the point, after all. :-)

Video embed corrected to snake, not squirrels in my pants. Though that's also animal + pants related, and hilarious.
