Entirely grotesque things

Post by **Blaze** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 12:20 am

Post things that gross, freak, or other wise * you out, so that we may laugh at your girly reaction.

Today, I decided to get my boots out and ready for the winter. Generally speaking, we keep them in the garage over the summer, so that if there's flooding or what have you, they're on hand. But I haven't worn them since last winter.

So I pulled them out, checked the laces, then started to put something on, when I felt something hard down inside one of them. I wasn't too afraid, because if it were a spider or something, it would have moved. So I reached down in and pulled it out.

Dead. Petrified. Frog.

FREAKING MUMMY FROG! AAAAGHGH! In my hand! SO GROSS! <little girl screech>

Edit: Yeah, that's a bit much for displaying here. I've left it as a link for the more curious who want to see what an infant with harlequin icthyosis (a genetic defect leading to malformed skin that shows up at birth) looks like.

Though you did kind of ask for it, Blaze. You should have known someone would find the line and kick sand across it quickly. -- Martin

Seir, was posting that without a link or warning or anything really necessary?

This huge spider just scuttled across the floor into the kitchen, big, leggy brown thing. They always freak me out.
So I threw a newspaper at it, stepped on it a bit, and pounded it with a boot. I'll take a picture for the spider ID thread if I can work up the nerve to lift the paper, and if there's anything recognisable left.

You can SORTA make it out. Bit blurry, bit flat, but...

Geez, people, it's a legitimate medical disorder that's already been a meme for a good while.

Yeah, but it's recognized policy that you don't just post bloody, graphic pictures flat out. There's a difference between talking about something disgusting, and actually showing it. You ALWAYS link that kind of stuff.

Well, if there's one thing I've learned from this thread....don't click links without reading the text below or you get bloody malformed skin babies that haunt your dreams.

There's no blood involved.

Then what's all that red stuff, ketchup?

Seir · Post by **Seir** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 3:31 am

Visible blood vessels. No blood leaking out so far as I can tell.

You can still see blood, so it's still a bloody malformed skin baby in my opinion.

Yes, it says that they can bleed upon birth, but as far as anyone can see, that baby is not bleeding in that picture.

Now if we're going to dwell upon the whole bloody/bleeding thing, to bleed would have to imply that blood is flowing outside/spilling from the blood vessels.

Are you forgetting that arteries are *red* in color?

Oh shut up. It's not that big a fucking deal, OK? There's no blood where it's not supposed to be. It's an old, generally well-known condition which, yes, can be shocking at first, but isn't an earth-shattering or gratuitously gross image. ESPECIALLY when this THREAD was created called ENTIRELY GROTESQUE THINGS.
