re: Stepped on a big ol’ copperhead

I got popped by a juvenile copperhead when I was a kid and did 4 days in the hospital. Clinched up my toes when I stepped on him so his head kinda got stuck between my toes and he musta got all of his venom in me. Foot was massive for about two weeks.

It did wonders for my 6th grade street cred though. It was an absolutely triumphant return to school. "Yeah, almost died, no big deal. Wasn't scared."
