Totally random...something stung/bit me. Guesses as to what it was?

[Spidey]

Much to tigre's chagrin and discomfort . . .

Spidey's bragging about his sexual escapades and I'm still nursing a wound from an unknown assailant.  You guys are worthless.  I was thinking maybe it was a pincher bug.  Can they climb metal poles?

[Lor]

Well I've seen them nesting under the lids of propane tanks, so I'd have to say yes.
Oh I know, maybe it was a potato bug!

Wasp Bite?

Would say fire/red ant, but I don't think they are where you are...

Wasp Bite?

No, Enzo's out of town

Let's go over your symptoms. Have you noticed any discoloring or discharge? Rashes or swelling, heaving perhaps?
Are you still horny?

If we can at least "nail down" the "effectiveness" of the "assailant" we can start to make a list of suspects.

I still have a red dot where whatever-it-was bit me.  My thumb has gotten more swollen and itchy and there's some sort of small bumps around it.  It's not fun.  Bet it's going to fall off!

Which finger was it, probably not needed.

the red dot is a clue ... you were bitten by a hindu bug, and you are now marked with a bindi.

since the bite, have you had any cravings for curry, and/or has your head started to uncontrollably move from side to side like a bobble-head, when you are talking?

I don't watch any Star Trek. I was trying to make an earwig/pincher bug joke. That being said, a pincher bug/earwig that could crawl in your ear and steal ideas from your dreams might be an interesting movie...

You should probably go ahead and amputate, just to get it over with. We can borrow a knife from the grill guys at Zeitgeist on Thursday. Then they can cook it up and pair it with some beer.
