GISHWHES 139 Snakes!

[tripperfunster]

A woman in a clean, empty room, sitting in the lotus position, in the middle of at least five live snakes. She must be rubbing oil onto her arms from a silver bowl, and clearly be enjoying it. The more snakes, the more points. They must be real snakes. If not, points will be deducted from your team.

(vid is only 30 seconds, as are all gishwhes vids, but does have live snakes if that sort of thing squicks you.)

I own five snakes, except they are of varying sizes and varities, and I wasn't sure if they would eat each other or not! So I went to A COMPETING PET STORE that specializes in reptiles and asked him if he'd shoot the vid for me. No problem!

Also? Finding a clean, empty room ANYWHERE IN MY LIFE would be pretty much impossible! :D

I looked at some of the other vids for this challenge and have decided that the clean empty room was probably more trouble for everyone than the snakes were! :D

Going out on a limb here, but people who own snakes =/= people who are anal retentive.

I can think of five houses that would fit the 'clean empty room' bill, and none of them have pets at all, let alone snakes.

And man! I cannot type snake without capitalizing it to make it Snape! Years and years of training! ;)

hahaha, I have a hard time typing high, hung, hug or huge without typing Hugh!
and I like snakes.

There are so many funny things about this post.

1. Right, because if they ate each other, there wouldn't be five live snakes anymore.

2. I can't think of five houses I know that have clean, empty rooms. At all. I can think of one and it's in Tennessee. Oh wait, I know a family that has a bathroom they rarely use. Okay, two.

3. Competing pet store! That's almost as dedicated as your quest for postal workers with a sense of humor!

4. That music.

Team Vatican Cameos! You win at life for that.

lol, and you are clearly enjoying it you freak

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

omg, that was horrible. I would be OUTTA THERE!! Did you have to put them on your lap, huh? I didn't see that in the effin' prompt! Or was that your idea of showing you were enjoying it. Yeah, that's probably it--anything to do with your crotch would be 'enjoying it'.

Now that you mention it, I should have been surrounded by five TROUSER snakes! Now THAT would have rocked! ;)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, would a snake INSIDE another snake count? ;)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! Honestly, this one was no big deal. I clean/feed/touch snakes on a regular basis. I'm sure for some people it would be odd/traumatizing, but meh. Pet store.

*nods* :D

Not for the snakes, you dork. :P For the Sherlock group name.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha. Until this very moment, I did not know that our name came from Sherlock. Although, knowing the woman who named our team, I'm not surprised.

Aside from RDJ's movies, I've never seen the Sherlock show.

Ah, it's quite brilliant.

I do love the video by the way. Not just because I played it at work and freaked the fuck out of my colleague. *laughs*

Aww, lovely snakes :) And calm ones! I'm not sure either of my ball pythons would stay still on the floor for that long, no matter how much they like sleeping when they are in their terrarium... Kind of like that first one who was clearly on its way out already, but with no stopping when picked up :)

And yes, I really wouldn't know where to start looking for a clean, empty room. Perhaps if I managed to catch some small lecture room at the uni around the time a cleaning person does their rounds, and carried all the desks and chairs outside... I guess it's theoretically possible something like that might be arranged. Nothing in our own house would qualify without huge amounts of work and desperate attempts to stuff things to other rooms which really don't have the space :D

The whole time I watched that, I was cooing 'oooo, snakey snakey snakey, I wanna cuddle with you!' Lucky.

The cleanest room in my house is the kitchen. Always immaculate. I have a paranoia about having a dirty kitchen. The rest of the house, howver? TRASHED!

If I had a nickel ...

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ditto. I really did not want to overhaul a whole room just for a 30 second video. Not to mention that my snakes would have looking for every available escape route! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

None of the rooms in my house would ever be called immaculate. NONE.
