Hah, yeah. I was kinda riding your dick in that thread a little bit, but at least nobody can accuse me of white knighting essie.
I got stung by a worker bee today for the first time since childhood and I was equal parts amused and impressed by how painful it actually was. I don't remember the burning sensation of the venom being that intense, but I left the stinger in my arm for at least three minutes until it had emptied all of its toxins. I figured that it had suffered a severe abdominal rupture and made the ultimate sacrifice just for the opportunity to penetrate my flesh, so it was the least I could do.
