iiiiimagine if you will
a testy lizard slightly smaller than your average housecat.
now imagine that said lizard is running mad about your house, terrorizing everything in sight. Now if one were to attempt to hand wrestle this creature into submission, instead of just calling animal control, and end up getting one's hand clamped firmly in a reptilian jaw, merely because he was afraid that the lizard would eat his CAT if he didn't do something about it post haste?
that's the what I woke up from this morning. I suppose as nightmares go, it's not too horrible... but OY! the anxiety.
