yes, an interesting juxtaposition that the female threadworm should choose death in order that life can continue...

O M G

How absolutely filthy

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 13/12/2007 14:08

so now we have the full text of the ad mentioned earlier.

Choose veganism
Choose life
CHOOSE THREADWORMS!

I have heard that worms can be beneficial - they consume what the body doesn't need and what may be harmful.

Having said that, I have not had worms.

But I am a vegan

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 13/12/2007 14:30

perhaps so.

nevertheless the new info that mb supplied re LUNGS and exploding suicidal females has irrevocably shifted my world view.

ChubbyStuckForAFestiveNameBurd · 13/12/2007 14:45

I cannot fathom how someone can have such strong vegan principles as to tolerate an itchy arse for a decade. I say drop her - apart from the boak-factor she willingly volunteered this info which confirms her as a complete loon. (Which, one might argue, was already evidenced by her vegan tendencies [runs for cover]).

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 13/12/2007 14:56

yes, pale, wan, and mental

I did know a hippie with headlice in his dreadlocks who refused to treat them

he said they had a right to life like anything else

god his head crawled with them, you could see them from across the room

In defence of vegans I am not sure he was vegan, just stoned and mad

PMSL at this thread (worm)

themoon66 · 13/12/2007 17:32

This reminds me of my previous neighbour who's rat infestion was spreading over my way. She just said 'well they've got to live somewhere'

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 13/12/2007 17:40

frannyandzooey at hair with mobility!
themoon66 at social liberalism for Rats!

CrushWithEyeliner · 13/12/2007 17:42

does she have kids? I feel so sad if she does how disgusting and unnecessary in this day and age.

EricScrooge · 13/12/2007 17:42

That is the craziest thing i have heard.

People shock me on a daily basis.

Let her keep her internal zoo going then if she is insane enough to want to nuture them.

Surely that can't be healthy?

Must be about 20 foot long by now.

Ewwwwwww........

FrannyandZooey · 13/12/2007 17:45

To give the other side of the argument, I am guessing in the days before Ovex a huge proportion of the population would have had them constantly?

They revolt me as well but I think we are probably a bit precious about it, do you know what I mean?

ineedapoo · 13/12/2007 17:49

Right spoke to my friend today she says they started in her twenties and she was repulsed to begin with but then got used to them and now quite likes the tickling OMFG

fanz i'm sure there was some lye-based thing with mercury and lead in it that sensible people would swallow in preference to poo that moves.

ADDICTEDtosayingHAAAAAAAPYxmas · 13/12/2007 17:49

i had worms once. they didn't itch. maybe that's how she's lived with it for so long?

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 13/12/2007 17:50

FrannyandZooey · 13/12/2007 17:50
