Worm Charming

June 7th, 2007 by Jim

The Fact Box says, there’s a pseudo-phylum called ‘Problematica’?  Its used for animals and plants whose classifications haven’t been decided yet, due to their strangeness and tendency to have characteristics from several phylums.

We figure the people who take part in this Worm Charming Competition must belong to the Phylum Problematica.  Are they human?  Part Worm? Part Pied-Piper?

my uncle cyril introduced me to ‘worm charming’

he used to keep one in his trouser pocket.

I think I killed it when stroking it though as it went rock hard then starting ozzing a strange substance.

I think my uncle was stressed by it as once it died he was sweating and very red face- he then had a cigarette and told me not to tell my parents or they would die.

Gary,it must be an uncle thing,my uncle Len used to keep one in his swimming trunks and said it could breathe under water.

it didn’t spit at me

it gave me a bit of what cyril used to call ‘baby milk’.

tasted weird being honest with you

but not as weird as when he made me milk his cocker spaniel.

Analingus is a big word, Fellatio is a bit of a mouthful as well

I much prefer the pink oboe, a truly delightful tool when one masters it.

I thought you were more into the blue veined clarinet or a bit of ‘bag-piping’?
