This post was deleted for the following reason: as much as I can't get enough of flesh eating worms, we have seen this one before. -- jessamyn

That is highly gross.

Truly. Disgusting.

Ok -- that was disturbing!

But not as disturbing as Body Popping Face.

Is it okay for me to get the screaming heebee's?

OK, who wants a Fruit Roll-Up?!

You should take a break from thinking that caecilians can grow to be five feet in length and instead look at a few photos or a youtube of them.

You should have saved this post for Valentine's Day.

A friend of mine had her tubes tied last year for this very reason.

Couched in human terns, of course

terms, not terns. Terns prefer salmon.

What's fun is watching this while listening to the Kronos Quartet performance of Howl.

Hey, this is the internet! I don't want to look at disgusting stuff like this. I want to see boobies!

Er, wait a minute.

Damn.

Don't hate me 'cause I got video!

Gives new meaning to "no one makes it like Mom used to."
posted by Liosliath at 6:00 PM on February 11, 2008


Flagged as "double." And also, "vomit-inducing."

Is this another thread about Condi?

I think milk is far more disgusting.

the caecilian babies would only eat their mother's skin for about 10 minutes, once every three days, and often at night.

Yeah, that's pretty much what motherhood is like. Sigh.

Caecilian, youre breaking my skin
You're sloughing my epidermal layer
Oh, Caecilian, I'm down in the dirt
I'm begging you please to eat me

Caecilian, youre breaking my skin
You're sloughing my epidermal layer
Oh, Caecilian, I'm down in the dirt
I'm begging you please to eat me

Eating lunch in the afternoon with Caecilian
Down in the mudroom (eating lunch)
I sat up to say the grace
When I slither back down
Someone's eating my face

Caecilian, youre breaking my skin
You're sloughing my epidermal layer
Oh, Caecilian, I'm down in the dirt
I'm begging you please to eat me
Please eat me

Jubilation, she's shedding again,
I writhe on the floor and I chewing,
Jubilation, she's shedding again,
I fall on the floor and I chewing

No skin off her teeth, I guess.

False Dichotomy, I want so, so, so badly to favorite your comment. The riff, it is elegant, it is well-rhymed, it even gets in the echo verse.

But, since it makes me want to vomit, I just can't. Sorry. I have a rule that "makes me want to vomit" ≠ favorite.

Thanks, pineapple, I can think of no higher praise.

My mom always taught me to watch out for Sicilians. Brings new meaning to man-eater.

Never bet against a Caecilian with death dinner on the line.

And 5MeoCMP beat both of you, but who's counting?

...and do the hatchlings ever call? Ever write? NO! TWELVE LAYERS of skin I gave to them and they can't pick up a phone (etc., etc.)

What, there were no youtubes of people eating placenta? Oh, wait, here's one.

The whole process sounds pretty similar to the first week of breastfeeding. Possible preferable.

This is what I always worried would happen to my mother if I stepped on a crack.
