I'll return to see what everyone thinks about this in a few hours after I've boiled my sheets and hermetically sealed my windows.

I met Jena in Charlotte. Didn't realize she was at ESPN.com. I had a bug fly in my ear when I was in middle school. Not fun, and I didn't even get a national story out of it.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

I think the clicking noise would creep me out worse than the fact something was in there.

Beetle in the ear? That's nothing. There are people on this board who have a bug up their ass 24 hours a day.
