Y' All Cheer up, the Surf Tide is Fab


Oh my! This laundry-snake story is almost unbelievable, but it must be true because its on the internet. (Linda likes snakes, she used to have 2 before I came into the picture. Rocky was a 3 1/2 foot Ball Python and Adriane was a 6 1/2 foot Red Tail Boa. Rocky was so nice, Adriane... not so nice. She tried to squeeze the stuffing out of Linda once and another time she bit her friend on the hand. That was the straw that broke the snakes back and Adriane went to live at a reptile habitat. Besides, it was so hungry it needed to be fed giant rats and that was just too much for Linda's veganism.) Back to the story: A Maine woman was doing her laundry just like always when she reached int to put some stuff in the dryer and felt something moving. Yep, it was a snake alright. Not your average tiny yard snake, it was an 8-foot reticulated python. 8 feet! It got into her water pipes and slithered up into the machine after the load was done. A snake man came to the house and took to live in a reptile house. Maybe it will be friends with Adriane. (Anyone get all the laundry detergent words in the heading? I know, it's pretty lame.)
