What Is That Stench?

February 3rd, 2002

I had begun to notice one thing about these bastards, their numbers seemed to be dwindling and not by my volition.

I had raised this observation among a few others and it was suggested that maybe I should check the crawl space to see if they were amassed there for some kind of infestation.

Well, I found nothing in the crawl space, but I had been noticing this foul stench permeating throughout the house. I couldn't put my finger on it. It wasn't the trash. It wasn't the garbage disposal. It wasn't the cat box (although it needed cleaning). No, I just couldn't figure out from where the stink was emanating.

I decided to put another fragrance filtermate on the air condition filter, at least it would cover up the smell a little bit.

The stench was really strong in this area.

ACK!!! That damn clown must have gotten trapped in there, a few months back, when I was working on the air conditioner. Ha Ha! Stupid clown must have starved.

Hmmm...come to think of it, this would explain the metallic tapping that I kept hearing every now and then. Dot-Dot-Dot Dash-Dash-Dash Dot-Dot-Dot. I would hear this for about 5 minutes and then it would stop before I could find out where it originated from.

Anyway...

When I tried to pick it up to get rid of the nasty thing, the head and spinal cord just snapped right off...creepy.

So...I just left it there for the wife to find and clean up.

Damn dirty clowns are driving me insane.
