True dat! Haven’t heard that one before. We were always told ‘when red touches yella it’ll kill a fella’. And ‘red touches black, it’s a friend of Jack’. Same message. Every time I see a king snake though I have to stop for a sec and recite that shit just to be sure lol

 

No sweat, that’s what they make antivenin for

 

... and new words are created when fat fingers meet touchpad keyboards

 

for someone as verbose as yourself, Mat, I would think you would know ‘antivenin’ is an actual word. Get your vocab up brother

 

Both statements can be true

 

You make it, I'll take it!

 

Yep. I learned an abbreviated version of that:

Red next to black, friend of Jack
Red next to yellow, kill a fellow


P.S.
It sounds like whoever taught the rhyme to Nathan, messed up the 'next to' and confused it with the mixed up color order. That's why, of the various versions I've heard over the years, the one above is the easiest I've found, to teach and memorize.

 

I caught one of those when I was a kid on spring break in Florida. I put it in a plastic tub so I could check it out (to be released later). The super at the condo complex walked up to see what I was doing. I proudly told him, “I caught a snake.” He looked in the tub and then took the rake he was holding and smashed the snakes head with the butt of the rake handle. Looking at the surprise on my face he said, “That’s an 8 stepper. It’s venomous.”
Then he took the tub and walked away.
Good times!

Apparently, I caught a coral snake not a king snake.

 

It's hard to recite the rhymes while screaming Snake! Snaaaaaaaaake!!!!!!!! in falsetto

It's about time to add Carothers to that purported and rarified list of knife-makers (Busse he had said?) which has constantly delivered what was pre-ordered. I also decree that Nathan does not go anywhere near buses (I saw what I did there )
