Herpin' ain't Easy.

About Me

I know my shit.
"Lary is the quintessential naturalist explorer. Where others see nothing, he sees novelty. Where others are baffled, he comes up with explanations. His chief strengths? Reptiles. Bugs. If snakes spoke English, he'd be on a first name basis with all of them."
"Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 9:14 am Post subject: Big Herpin' ?????
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- This morning, on my way out to take a short hike, I saw a car that had a red canoe on the roof. The canoe read "Big Herpin" on the side of it. On the back of the car was a couple of stickers. One was a sticker that said "I brake for snakes" and the other one was some kind of Gopher Tortoise sticker. Pretty sure he was driving a Toyota Prius. I tried to get his attention, but he was busy singing to himself. ... Anyone know who this is? Looked like he was going towards Newnans Lake in Gainesville. Just curious, because he looked like a happy-go-lucky guy. "

Uh. I’m so funny.

I think mostly just to myself. Because no one gets my humor.   I mean. I'm basically a misunderstood genius.
