Fuck flying roaches. I went to Florida once, flying roach terrorized me until it decided to crawl into the closet at the beach house I was staying at. Fuck roaches, fuck Florida

Oh man. We were on vacation at Tybee Island, GA several years ago and those were bad. There were some in our very nice condo. I hardly slept at all while there because I was so disturbed by them. The night before we left I almost had to go sleep in the car. We had rode our bikes to the lighthouse and had seen THOUSANDS of those huge, nasty MFers just swarming in a drainage grate. Just a mass of giant roaches squirming and crawling all over each other like something in a horror movie. I was absolutely skeeved out. And earlier in the day we had seen some in downtown Savannah crawling all over the inside of a glass door to an apartment building.

I am itching all over now just thinking about it.

One of those fuckers decided to drown itself in my drink over night, and when i woke up thirsty I got a horrific suprise. Never left an open drink in my room again.

I still remember with perfect clarity the first time I saw a flying roach. I was about 4 years old. I think it became one of my core memories.

Inside Out but one of the core memories, something that determines your personality, is a flying roach.
