I just watched the full episode. That was honestly an impressive level of filth. I like that the first time they do the walkthrough you can still see spots they've missed. I don't know how he wasn't infested with insects, living like that.

Yeah... Like I said, Pimp My Ride... The extreme British awesome edition!

[spartanhelmet]

Get on it.. huff dat

[Metcarfre]

I've had mice, rat, silverfish, and earwig infestations before. Interestingly, silverfish and earwigs are natural enemies (the earwig eats silverfish). I hate them both equally though.

You know what? Team sports are fun. I played rugby in high school and had a damn good time. You guys are jerks.

[James]

I have heard a lot about that show and I'm glad I finally got a chance to check it out. It was actually really good. I loved the fact that they cleaned shit and didn't just buy him new stuff.

Other than the horribly scripted final scene I give it a thumbs up.

My parents' house used to have an infestation of carpenter ants. They would come into the house constantly looking for food. More than once we found the [unrun] dishwasher full of them. Easy to deal with (I'm still not convinced Cascade could dissolve a cake, but it seemed to have no problem with ants ), but gross nonetheless. We had to rip the fence off the house to get rid of them.

The mosquito net thing happened to my sister once, except instead of roaches it was these little, black insects that hatched out of her hamster's food. Wonderful good morning for an 8 year old.

[Mr. Freeze]

Just to be completely random, what was the name of the museum design firm you worked for Graham? I think you might have been working for my aunt.

Silverfish are quite common here in California, as well. I'm guessing they're a Pacific-North American thing.

Nope, I see them all the time here in Louisiana.

Have them in Michigan too.

Really? I've never encountered any, and I've travailed around Michigan quite a bit.
Edit: Scratch that, I just remembered one time in Traverse City when I opened my electric razor because it would not turn on and two ran out of it, it was creepy

[Master Gunner]

Here it tends to only be ants of various kinds (cottage had a flying ant infestation once) and spiders. Odd earwig or other bug gets in, but I don't recall ever seeing any silverfish.

Well, I guess the little bastards are all over North America, then.

I remembered the other thing I was going to mention earlier. When you guys were talking facial hair and Desert Bus, plus earlier talk about mustaches, I got to thinking. What if, with a certain dollar value of donations, all of the guys (or at least a sizable portion of them) grew and sported mustaches for at least a month? At the very least, Morgan sporting a Porn 'Stache would be freaking fantastic.

You seem to be under the impression that Morgan would require money to do this. A simple "please" may be sufficient.

But, at this point it's an excuse to bear a Porn 'Stache for the Children. Which becomes way more awesome and creepy at the same time.

Just so you know, I wasn't kidding about that tooth brush, I still use it. The little bugger was on the bristles (the kitchen and the shower room were connected by a door in my flat). From my findings I can safely say that slugs can't swim.
My other experiment at that flat was aiming my long bow through the window to kill a rat. Dr Who came on tv so I just poured a litre of bleach down its hole.

I seem to play Pokemon every time the next generation comes. With Pokemon Diamond I spent a lot more time than I usually do, though. I collected so many that my girlfriend bought me Pokemon Ranch for my Wii. For quite a while, though, I've only turned it on for the Special Event Pokemon. Speaking of which, Arceus is available in the U.S. at Toys R Us November 7-14. Even if you don't actively play anymore it's worth the trip, because you'll be able to trade it for practically any other Pokemon from now 'til eternity.

[The Tortured Soul]

Enjoyed the orginal vid and this too was a much enjoyable podcast...

So much so my sig is now altered... though I dunno how long it will stay that way...

[ThrashJazzAssassin]

Well, I guess the little bastards are all over North America, then.

And all over Europe, too. Or at least the UK. They really do get everywhere.

We had a toad come into our house once to escape from a grass snake. He just hopped a little way inside the door, and the snake was too scared to come in; it got bored and wandered off in the end, and the toad was able to leave again. A mighty victory for toadkind!

And we had truly massive slugs all over the bathroom in the house I was living in while at uni, until they refitted the bathroom and sealed up the cracks. I'm pretty sure there was a massive slug rave venue under our bathtub, because they always seemed to be going in and out of there. Fun times.

[GreigKM]

Oh, and Japaniese Beetles are really bad in Michigan this time of year (little buggers look just like lady bugs)

[Dr. Atrocity]

We get slugs but that's about it. My family moved into the area, where we still live now, in the 80's where there was a lot of trouble with magpies taunting and attacking pets.

Then we showed up with our Maine Coons. Our Maine Coons with the six foot standing jump.

Magpies went away quickly.

Ever since, the only time we get anything beyond the occasional insect in the house is if one of the cats brings his work home with him.

On that note: Cat vs Silverfish. Mortal Kombat?

@Malcomn.Paise: We do actually have a Pimp My Ride UK (or at least we did the last time my IQ was low enough to watch MTV regularly) It's presented by Westwood, a DJ who talks like he's a rapper but is in fact the middle aged son of a bishop. It's quite sad.

I had slug problems too. Westwood is the son of a bishop, that's even better!

[Lyinginbedmon]

I actually thought the student house I'm in was fairly creepy crawly-less, because with the exception of a rather large and ominous spider that camped out in the first week and has since been forcefully de-camped, we haven't had any.

Then I encountered a slug crawling around in the bathroom last night. No clue how it got there, since the only access point was the kitchen door and the open window over two metres from the floor...

[Machalllewis]

I lived in a place that had a cockroach infestation once. That was so disgusting! Got them all sprayed so there was like a couple hundred of these little black bodies all over our kitchen, most of them still alive but slowly dying.

We found the odd one throughout the house from then on, but you can't just tread on them cos their eggs stick to your shoes so we had to find creative ways to destroy them without bursting their bodies.

That was a weird 6 months ....

[Arius]

Be glad you don't live in Florida. We have palmetto bugs. They get to about six times the size of a regular cockroach, and they fly.
