i think it just looked decievingly big cuz i got pretty close to take the picture.

the 3rd picture on the manhole cover is post flamethrower mod.

i first hosed him down with brake parts cleaner, and he cringed up. i then proceeded to use the flamethrower technique with the BBQ lighter to ignite his saturated body. after a few seconds of burning, i heard a loud pop noise and knew it was dead.

i then scooped him up with a shovel and put him on the manhole cover for the closeup picture of his face.

I see those things all the time around here. You're lucky it wasn't one with a bunch of babies on its back, I stepped on one of those and there were hundreds of little bitches crawlin around everywhere.
