I found a cockaroach in my shoe
Emerick
I reached down into my shoe to scratch an itch. It was a tingly itch, the kind that's almost a tickle. My right foot. Slightly lower than the ankle. So I reach my fat little #American fingers into my #nikes, reach over my #adidas socks, and dug my fingers down into my crunchy skin.
Wait. I'm not an insect.
Confused and bewildered, I brought my fingers up to my beady little #American eyes. Staring through the dirty polycarbonate plastic on my #calvinklein glasses, I examined the bits of brown and splatter of brownish-green on my fingers. Using process of elimination, I concluded that the material must have come from inside of my show.
I shrieked at the realization.
Quikly though, I regained composure. #Yeezus knows what's inside of my shoe - an infestation; a giant tarantula and her killings; or even worse than either previous option, a bug foot, connected to a bug leg, connected to a bug torso. I broke out into a cold sweat. I hadn't looked at my belly in at least 15 hours. And even longer for my legs. In fact, the only body parts I recall seeing any time recently had been my arms and #manhood.
The prospect of being gradually transformed into a bug with a human penis from the ground up worried me immensely. I cannot understate the trepidation I felt at that moment. Although, on the other hand, I could probably crawl up buildings like #trumptowers and win seriously awesome fights. I hoped that my exoskeleton would harden. I don't want to be the world's largest insect and have an exoskeleton of candy-coating. I probably couldn't intimidate very many world leaders once the word got out that I could be destroyed with spitballs.
More worried about my future than I've ever been since I graduated high school in New Jersey. I sit down on the concrete I had just woken up on and look down at my shoes in absolute dread. What's going to happen when I open them up? What will I find? Where will I go from here? Where am I?
My mind raced in three hundred and #onedirection as I tentatively reached towards my shoes - on the other side of my body. I reached out as far as I could, and when I found out that my arms could only get my hands out to slightly above my knees and my #levi jeans.
COW EATING JACKAL OF WALL STREET
My mind went into a tailspin. I could feel my head pounding. Three hundred years of knowledge came into my consciousness while I felt myself falling in love with my first kiss all over again and I feltmyself fall into the natural surroundings and also I felt my head hurt because I fell backwards and it might be bleeding. I touched it but when I look at my hand again, I'm not even sure what colors are what and it's all meshed together anyways so let's not talk about that anymore.
So I was working on something, I'm sure.
But WHAT!?
Lord of Pakistan, I wince in pain and I feel a sharp pain on my foot.
What the spaniard is going on here and also where am I? Forget my whereabouts, this foot issues is killing me here.
So I kick my shoe off and a swede-loving GIANT BROWN MONSTER WITH FOURTEEN LEGS jumped out of my gorram shoe!
I was like, "ew."
But I still don't know where I am.
LSD is a hell of a drug.

" As far as the reserve levels, the CBO does what congress wants. I have been instructed by SCI not to tell the amount/location of individual accounts holding money. There are some merits to that plan. If congress voted I suppose that would supercede my instructions by the SCI."

Q: Who made tis statement?

No.
I swear I read that when it was posted on the forums, but can't recall who. Might be Evry or Rainy.
no & no. But please tell me: what did you think about it when you have read it?
It was Publius. Been a few months back, maybe even a year. /shrug
I don't think I can express the amount of disdain I have for what is "unsaid" behind that statement.
Deificus wins. Do you remember what your have said about this issue?
"I agree that there could be a vote to it, but common sense would require me to vote 'No' on it every time it comes up. I would imagine such a vote could have a slim chance of making the approvals, but would almost have zero chance of passing."
Do you still think the same?
[removed]
I think you are a corrupt bunch of arrogant and power-hungry manipulators! Fair enough?
This one is even more explicit:
"Congress a) isn't trustworthy; it leaks like a seive and b) the SCI has access to all this information and is entirely staffed by Congressmembers. The exact details about our reserve levels and a lot of the information surrounding them is classified and withheld from the public and Congress as a whole."
Thank you, Cromstar for such an eloquence!
God bless America!
Take your RL idealogies into RL.....they are not wanted by anyone on eRepublik.
TY
Who are you to speak about the eRep community?
>I don't think I can express the amount of disdain I have for what is "unsaid" behind that statement.
Why? Not telling our enemies outright how much money we have sitting around kind of makes sense, wouldn't you agree?
This being a tool to operate with this large sum of money and keeping the profit for themselves - it makes sense!
They probably do invest it to make us profits, and I highly doubt they keep the profits for themselves.
I see the finances in our country are run very transparent way!
IN THE ELITE WE TRUST
Why do you care, you're not even American gb2Mexico
Unlike you, I do care.
>Answer correct for a reward of 1 gold!
It was me. Pay me 1 gold please.
You are late.
I see no time limit or conditions on that 1G offer. I await payment.
"I was like, "ew.""
...and to top it off LSD is for wimps, now a little Peyote or DMT; of course we could call Walter White....
Did it bite you?
Did it wave it's bug feelers at you?
Did you smash it into pulp?
I'm not sure
I lol'd at "The prospect of being gradually transformed into a bug with a human penis"
This is great. Do more!
Forgot to mention, this slightly reminds me of Kafka.

Stating a fact you worthless lousy.

Nice article.
Voted
This is fantastic! umm I'm really nitpicking but if the title hadn't read cockroach, it would have been more mysterious. However the title itself made me read this, so can't really say. I look forward to more 🙂
I was planning to have a different type of bug fly out of my shoe, but I couldn't think of the name of the insect that was on my mind
Best Emerick article I ever have read.
