So you would rather have things crawling out of your ass instead of you having to crawl out of someone else's?

I have thought about this question for 5 minutes now while brushing my teeth and I am still not so sure of my answer.

I think the stakes make the decision for me, so let me put it into that context:

Would you rather have to crawl out of some thing's ass (or you die), or have something crawl out of your ass (or it dies).

Easy to believe this would be the most profound question I’ve had to deal with all morning

And here I thought I needed more fiber in my diet.

Sell these beetles as a weight loss thing, like those creeps who sell parasites and shit to fat people. You'll make a mint.

a great adventure is waiting for you ahead hurry onward Lemmiwinks or you will soon be dead

There's a whole world out there I just didn't need to know about.

Oh that beetle is scathed, scatted and scathed.

Oh fuck real live lemmywinks

Should be called the taco bell beetle

Frog ride!
