Me and my mate run up to the house yard with her and there's this 1.5 / 1.8 metre cobra lying there with a fairly large frog in it's gob just at the top of it's neck (if snakes have necks),obviously having just eaten the poor fucker and trying to get it down.
We're wondering what the fuck to do and how to approach it and realized we've forgotten our patented(not really) snake fuckerer upperer,and we're only armed with our Greenies special, pvc pipe with a cord thru it for lassoing cooperative snakes,
But after not being able to catch any of the previous 8/9 snakes we've tried to catch,we have a 2 metre piece of bamboo with a razer sharp machete attached, which seems to work a lot better.
So I run back down to our workshop to grab the fuckerer uperer and when I get back the snakes disappeared ,my mate took his eyes of it
for 2 seconds and the fucker has spat out the frog and gone.
We're also now joined by 6/7 Thais working across the road,armed with various steel pipes and sticks
Where is it?
There is a pair of inch &1/2 pvc pipes lying on the path near where he was, so he's gotta be in there I reckon , so there's a hose nearby so I grab it and lift the pipe up and stick the hose in it,at this stage I'm shitting myself,but it has to be found on account we have kids and dogs in the yard every day.
So this pipe backs up with water and I know ther's something in there and now I'm really shitting,somethings going to happen soon.Then a balled up plastic bag pops out that ,the staff have put in there to keep things out.And then out comes a frog,but the water is still backing up.Oh Shit!
And then out slides the snake,hits the ground and comes straight at me.I drop the pipe,the hose and grab my snake fuckerer uperer and I'm into it,a couple of the Thai workers are backing me up and hitting it with steel tube as well,but very careful I notice to only hit it round the head.
We've won and everyone is big eyes and smiling (esp. me)
One of the Thai guys picks it up with a stick, as they go to leave and return to work, and walks off with it,tham arai khap nguu, I say ,(What you do with snake?)
Klap baan kin Kao Aroi mak tham krapaow (I take home to eat with holy basil very tasty.)
And that is why this thread is in the food section and also why it was such a long post as I'm still shaking and as I ate my ,krapaow Moo all I could think about was what these other guys were having for dinner tonight.
