Gross Fact of the Day 12-14

Sorry, I don't actually have a gross fact for you today, but I thought I would share a few things that I, personally, think are gross. Some of these are obvious, others might be a bit strange, but hey, so am I.

Worms. Gross. And not just the normal ones, pretty much all types of worms gross me out. Not that I have a phobia about them or anything, I'll totally handle heaps of them just for fun, and have, but they definitely creep me out. I guess it comes from biology class in middle school, because instead of dissecting something good like a frog or something, my class had to dissect a worm. And this was no ordinary worm, this thing was freakishly fuckin' huge. No joke, this thing was easily a foot and a half long, and thick as your finger. Okay, maybe that's just a tad bit hyperbolical, but seriously this thing was massive. It was at least big enough to cut in half and actually see and identify individual organs. It was all green and rubbery and shit from sitting in formaldehyde, and it squished when you cut into it, kind of like cutting across the grain of a really rare steak, and brown juice and gunk and shit oozed out of it, all over the place, and then you had to walk around the rest of the day with worm juice on you because you had biology 3rd period. Gross.

Wet plastic bags. I don't know why, but having a wet plastic bag touch my skin is just freakin' gross.

Wine. I just don't get it. Shit tastes like rancid grape juice. Well, I guess that's what it really is, so I guess this one's just me. But that being the case, why the fuck would you drink it? Gross.

Dairy products that don't require refridgeration. You ever seen that "Parmalat" shit, y'know, the milk in a box that the nerdy kids used to drink at lunch at school? What the fuck's up with that? I mean, I'm sure it's safe and all, but that's just fuckin' weird.

Dairy products in general. I still eat them, cheese and ice cream and all that, I just don't drink milk. What grosses me out about it is, one time when I was a kid I was thinking about milk for some reason, and it's "discovery" or whatever, and I concluded that at some point in history, somebody must have looked at a cow, cocked their head quizzically, and then thought, "I'm thirsty. I think I'll go over there, yank on that thing, and drink whatever comes out!" That's a very disturbing scene right there, and it freaked me out then, and it still does today. That's some fuckin' freaky shit. I realize, now, that it likely did NOT go down that way, no pun intended, but a disturbing image nonetheless. So no fuckin' milk for me!
