My Thoughts And Prayers Are With Tobias Harris During This Trying Time

I felt this tweet from Tobias Harris, probably because I spent my weekend battling a hornets nest in my backyard. Those fuckers are no joke, and while fortunately I was able to spray the hornet killer I got from Home Depot without an issue, it pains me to hear that Tobias was not as lucky. I don’t know about any of you, but I don’t fuck with bees/hornets/wasps whatever. I think a lot of it has to do with when I was a young child at JCC camp and a hornet stung me about 2 centimeters from my right eyeball. PTSD like you read about, and I can still feel the pain even though it’s been like 25 years since then. The whole stinger removal process is a bitch, where you have to essentially dig into your skin with a nail clipper to get it out, which isn’t exactly easy depending on where you get stung. It’s a whole ordeal that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

I am also pretty sure I was being stalked by this gigantic bumble bee at my parents house growing up too. Here I was just trying to work on my jumper in my driveway in hopes of making an EIL All Star Team (lol!) and this thing wouldn’t leave me alone. I don’t even think bumble bees sting but it didn’t matter. Triggered city. And I know what you’re thinking, “Greenie, be more of a pussy jesus christ”, well you know what we all have our fears and for me it’s spiders and bees. I can’t help it, if I’m ever outside and I see one of those fuckers fly around I will immediately run away. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true.

So hopefully Tobias’ injury was in an easy place to extract the stinger and it won’t keep him off the court given he looked great last night. You may also be asking yourself why the hell I am blogging about a goddamn bee sting, well this is a long way of getting to my main point. I was just looking for an in where I could post the new Tobi & Bobi Show

God dammit do I need a friendship like this in my life.
