So it gets hard when they spit on it? Just like your mom does to my dick.
j/k
The area around the hole is covered in the dirt and saliva of the hundreds who come in and out of the hole every day, eventually producing so much spit and fifth, that it creates a small dirty hill around the edges of the hole.
Not unlike, I suspect, the contents of your mother's knickers.

Ant spit. Nice.

ever since the tilted burgers hoax I find myself questioning every bit of realistic-sounding factoid
What is tilted burger hoax?
A post a few days ago was a bisected picture of a person answering a question about why japanese culture includes photographs of burgers that have been 'tilted' or the various layers slid aside to look like a tiered pyramid. At the end of a very 'reasonable' sounding explanation of a few paragraphs, the person concluded with something along the lines of, 'lol, I made it all up, I dunno.'
something about Japanese burger photography I think
I was absolutely expecting a similar punchline at the end of this one
Yes.
I found that boiling water was the best way to kill the nests that were too close to the house.
I wondered that myself . . .
