Selling an exotic, potentially lethal, scorpion...

[Evil Muppet]

Androctonus crassicauda  which literally means 'fat-tailed man-killer' 

According to Avery Exotics which is out of British Columbia, the cost of a 2 1/2 inch fat tailed scorpion is $65.

Seems like a pittance to risk bodily harm or possible death (if the scorpion manages to escape while traveling) and being caught by Customs for.  Wildlife smuggling can get you 10 years in prison and a fine of about $70,000.

To make $65 Canadian, I'll take that chance.

Then I agree with Evil Muppet.

I am in Kuwait, and there are fat-tailed black scorpions running around here everywhere.

I have caught one and keep it in my office. I have been toying with the idea of bringing it back to the states and selling it.

First of all, since this is the second most venomous scorpion in the world, what are your views about bringing it back? What if someone buys it, brings it home and is stung and dies? What if, in fact, my customer's child is killed? Am I to blame, in your view?

Secondly, how much would YOU pay for such an animal?

are you a fucking idiot? 

If I was a fucking idiot, would I know it?

why can't people be statisfied with either a cat or a dog, like a normal human being.

what kind of fucking creep wants a god damned alien-looking insect sitting on their aquarium next to their bed or in their living room?

Scorpions are not insects....  they are related to spiders.  More than 6 legs.

district-9 looking motherfuckers, anyway.

Because normal is boring? 

cats and dogs?  very energetic. and curious creatures.  not boring.

a stuipid reptile/insect/spider/district-9-looking action figure that just fucking sits on underneath a heatlamp all day long is boring.
BORING!!!

People who can't handle anybody else wanting something different from what they want = boring.

Get a siamese/american shorthair mix, you won't be bored, you'll be driven nuts.

You get the shorthair gregariousness smashed with the siamese intelligence and stubbornness (and loud meow/barking). In short, it's like a friendly fuzzy EMS car.

who says I can't handle it?  they can do whatever they want; I just think it's stupid, and creepy, and weird...and I wonder what kind of social life these nerds with their weird "pets" have outside of watching their snake eat a chinchilla.  or watching their chinchilla take a bath in a pit of volcano ash?

nobody impresses a girl by bringing an iguana to the dog park and saying, "wanna feed it a hamster?"  "wanna fucking watch it do battle with my scorpion?"

How much for the little girl? The women, how much for the women?

Your women, I want to buy your women. The little girl. Your daughters. Sell them to me. Sell me your children.

More than you have.

What if I throw in the camel?

Maybe not, but Chinchillas deserve to be eaten.

Yes. Yes they do.
