The Arachno Terrorists  I dropped Rick off at his farm house. Being late summer he slept out on the back porch where it is nice and cool. I told him I would pick him up in the morning.    The next day I went to pick him up to take him to work. He greets me at the front door wearing cutoffs and a shirt.    "What the hell happened to you last night??" I asked looking at his legs.    His legs are covered with dozens of ugly tiny red marks about the size of an average zit.    "I need to go to the hospital. I am not feeling so good." he tells me.    "A nest of fiddlebacks got in bed with me last night. I was gangbanged."    "Oh my gawd..." I say in horror.    He was bitten in the classic way; in a bed, in a dark, dry area, in Oklahoma. Just over a week later those bites became large open sores, that if left untreated would look much like this. WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPH.
