This is #4 of a new afternoon series where I post some of the more intriguing, interesting, funny, random, and downright awesome internet fruitcakes that make their way to my email inbox. You know… for the occasional afternoon pick-me-up where neither you, nor I, need to think too much. Today’s fruitcake was called “Cleaning the Cobra Pit,” and was sent to me by Gary. All it contained was a link…
All I have to say is, nobody here should be complaining about their job after watching this.
Enjoy, and here’s hoping that we all have a happy, sunny, warm, weekend free from severe weather.
I can’t imagine working around that many cobras striking at me or ready to strike at me. I can’t imagine being around one cobra ready to strike. If that were me in the video, a not-so-pleasant puddle would have been forming beneath me. I have a hard enough time picking up Garder Snakes. Yeesh.

PS. Feel free to send me the best of your internet fruitcakes to the email at the top of the screen. We could all use a few more laughs to top out our work days!
If you missed them, check out the previous Internet Fruitcakes.
That literally made me queasy. Eek!
He's way too comfortable around those snakes! It's unreal! That is way creepy....
I would never turn my back to one snake ready to strike, let alone a whole group... that's death staring you in the face...

That's INSANE!!!!
HARDCORE heebie jeebies. Gross.
Just so you know... because it seems half the world is blind (including you Dan), those cobras are de-fanged. Perfectly harmless. The reason why he needs to get rid of the eggs (as shown) is because one day a baby cobra with actual fangs might hatch and potentially kill him.

How would people know that w/o the "inside info" you seem to have? All Dan had to go on was a video link (speaking of being blind, why didn't you catch that in his post preface?) and it would stand to reason that most people don't care enough to research something like that... The thought of something like this is enough. ;)

I agree with Kel, that WAS pretty rude....
Wow, that was rude...
I think I pooped myself just watching this.

I definitely want to do this before I die. Of course, it may result in my death, but that's beside the point.
My recent post She Said Yes!
YIKES!!! He appears to be very calm. Makes me really appreciate my job as a high school librarian, especially since school's out for summer!
I have never knowingly seen snake poop before. Especially not cobra snake poop. Holy National Geographic lesson Batman!
Do they, like, have their fangs or venom (or both) removed or something? There's no way someone could just non-chalantly walk around in that small of a space with that many cobras and not get bit at least once. :S
Oh. My. GOD!!! O_O I have no other words. o.0
I have some serious heebie jeebie's right now. Eeeeek!
I knew I shouldn't have hit play...

My recent post Hole Punched
Yikes! In flip flops no less! Maybe those snakes are used to people??? I still would never approach one!
My recent post I Should have Become a Spy!
Holy Moly. And, he's doing it so STYLISHLY in his MANPRIS and FLIP-FLOPS!!! Totally creepy freaky-deaky awesomeness. I think. *shudder*
HA HA HA HA ....oohh that comment Nancy just made me HOWL with laughter! Nice way to tie in the previous SDL blogs!
Oh yeah...I have the heebie jeebies now! Not enough money in the world to get me to do that! I don't care if the venom sacs are removed as one person suggested. I HATE snakes! I'm with Dangerboy and Indiana Jones on this one...Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
Ugh, what a horrible job! :|
Not totally sure what you mean by 'internet fruitcake' but I saw this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa1pIO4_lUY!
My recent post This is how Im spending my time
I felt bad for the snakes! Surely they can't be happy, all piled up with nowhere to go and getting tossed around so nonchalantly. But I have to say the sight of all those snakes raised up behind him freaked me out, too. Yeesh!
My recent post You Control Your Own Destiny - a Perfect Thought for Today
Poo in my pants... That's what I would do. I don't know if I could do that even if I were paid BIG MONEY!!
Holy Sh** - - - that's definitely a fruitcake!! :p
Ok, that was too freaky and made my heart race just watching it!
I didn't like the way he was throwing them around... they are living creatures and could be damaged. Not that I love or even like snakes of any kind, but I would hate to see them get hurt.
Just...wow. Can't complain about work any more. There were just SO MANY of them.
Here is my question: How does he get OUT?
Wow! Amazing! I loved when he bent down to pick one up and it leaned in on him and he picked it up and looked like he was talking trash to it, a cobra mind you LOL
My recent post About me and how April Violet came to be
LOL I was thinking the same thing!
They have probably had their venom sacs removed...like the snake charmers in India do...makes them a little less deadly.
My recent post Planning the great escape
I loved the end of the clip where it looked like he was posing for photos and videos. "Yes, I am that awesome." What a crazy job!
Ok all I have to say is there is no way!!
Wow!!!! Dude, that guy is totally awesome!!!! :-) Thanks for sharing!!!! Of course I won't be showing this one to my husband. ;-) Poor guy gets the shakes when he sees a snake on video....... For me it's spiders.
Did someone say snakes? You mean "Boogey Man Prevention System" don't you?
My recent post FREE Boogey-Man Prevention System
omigosh! It's JUST like when I clean my kid's rooms and start throwing toys out!
Ummm..... holy cow!
My recent post The Funny Side of Life
Did he shake his finger and "tsssk" at one of the cobras for hissing at him???
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
My recent post A Trip Down Nostalgia Street- vol 9
I'm wondering if he was carrying venom antidotes in that fanny pack he had...
My recent post Learning to let go
In flip flops no less! This guy has coconuts!
Hahahahaha! Wow! That was incredible! I wonder if it's because of his cavalier attitude that they didn't actually strike? They couldn't smell any fear, so they weren't as threatened? Maybe...
My recent post Family Does Matter - Part Two
That hurt my heart.
Theres no way you would get me near that job!!
AHHHHH KILL THEM ALL WITH FIRE! I hate snakes......*shudder*
