Roaches are attracted to the color black, amirite?

[xchristinax]

Over in newyorkers, futurebird has encountered her first flying NYC roach. May God have mercy on her soul/apartment. People comment with similar horror stories and reassurance.

But the peace can't last for long. penelopexxx, you see, has never had that kind of problem. It's because she doesn't live in the projects because she's not black. Because black people crave

... is penelopexxx saying she'd make a better black chick than futurebird?

[sayonara_snot]

Totally. She wouldn't have roaches or live in the projects or anything.

But... that's what black people DO, amirite?!

So call me stupid, but I had no idea flying roaches existed. My fear of roaches just went up 421% with that information.

we also have them in sydney :(

they're huge and they fly, i've lived here for most of my 28 years and i NEVER got used to them and they scare the living shit out of me.

Oh man, I'm not going to be sleeping well tonight at all.

roaches don't bother me, but i have not visited aus yet because of trapdoor and funnelwebs! eep

Wow. What a winner she is.

That's just about *exactly* what my reaction was. That, and it made me like futurebird even more than I already did (she's funny, and posts interesting stuff in newyorkers.)

SRSLY, I want her e-babies now.

She's never seen a roach because they all crawled up her butt and died. Good grief you could tell futurebird was kidding.
