Corey's Arachnida Cleansing of 2009 - est. 1000000 Deaths
In the backyard of a dude sick of the potential sting of a scorpion, a plan was launched to strike back at the pre-emptive attacks by Scorpions. What started as a, get near my house you are toast was escalated by a surprise attack when Corey was reaching for his dropped keys on his carport. What is estimated as most likly a several week process, and perhaps costly, the goal was to remove all scorpion settlements within the Rial bank of the Stoney Mountain and then maintain a secure perimeter with all sorts of nasty and dangerous determent's of the scorpions. The death toll will never be known and the struggle is on going.
Not to make light of those horrible events, but to try and make an analogies on how much I don't want lethal predators hanging around my house. On a side note: read more about these genocides and try and have some compassion for some people in incredible horrible conditions, this site does a good job in explaining what went down

Ok.
til the cows come home.
Dude, seriously... do something about those scorpions. I have never heard of someone having so many scorpion issues as you do. You gotta be careful, because the way I see it, you'll end up getting tied down like Gulliver if these scorpions decide to unionize and work together. Dude, we gotta de-colonize these bastards... I'm thinking you should have an anti-scorpion party.. or maybe you should buy a cat, or a couple of cats. Cats are immune to scorpion stings and they will keep you safe.
