Lizard squish

Melodie, I saw that you like to crush lizards. Got any good stories?

When I was in high school, we had an assistant teacher. She was very attractive (and actually had a little meat on her bones. not greatly overweight, but some meat, which I like). She was telling us one day that she went on vacation over the summer and went camping. She was walking through the woods (she said she was wearing sneakers, I think, but it was about 8 years ago that she told this story) and had a sort of nature guide telling her all about the wild life. The guide was talking about different kinds of lizards that often sunned themselves on the path, so they should keep their eyes open.

Well, lo and behold, my teacher felt something stuck to the bottom of her foot like gum or something. She stopped, and turned her sole up to look at it. There was a lizard, she said about four inches long, smashed flat to the sole of her foot. She guessed she had accidentally stepped on it recently and hadn't even seen it. She said the strangest thing was that there was no blood or anything, he was just squashed flatter than a pancake and stuck good onto the bottom of her shoe.

Of course, not being into crush, she felt horrible, but decided there was nothing to do about it. The guide (a woman, I might add) identified it as some sort of lizard, I don't remember what, and said that commonly happened since they lay right in the path.

My teacher said that she grabbed it by the tail, and had to peel it off. It all came off in one piece (cool, since their tails are break-away) and she dropped it into the bushes.

That story did things to me that shaped my fetish. For one, she was pregnant when she told the story, so I'm not offended by stories of pregnant women crushing bugs and such, and am even a little excited by it at times (though it's only on special occasions. I'm weird that way.) Two, it most likely firmly grounded my love for sneakers. I like all kinds of shoes, actually, but prefer sandals, flats, and sneakers over heels (in that order.)

Anyway, I'll come up with more memories.-Sean
