this weekend, jse, cb and i went to a rattlesnake round up in oglesby, texas.
all sorts of people are interested in rattlesnakes, including:
this guy with one eye, who we think lost an eye to a you-know-what..
inmates (cb posed as a decoy)..
and a crew from animal planet, who were filming a pilot for a series on snakes in texas..
they recorded me petting the rattle of a snake, probably because they thought i was a japanese tourist.
there were all sorts of demonstrations and also rattlesnake paraphernalia for sale, i am thinking of carrying these hair accessories at the store..
the most amazing demonstration was at the end, when the heart of texas snake handlers attempted to break a world record on the number of snakes + human in a bath tub. prior to saturday, the record was 120.
121, 122..don't they look nervous?
123! a new world record..i don't think i've ever seen a world record broken in person, i felt accomplished, even though i didn't do anything.

I would have broken out into hives if I were there.
