Its not an eek moment - there is no such thing as an eek moment!!
Its a surprise that's all and perhaps governments need to start monitoring the wild animals in captivity better!

[Berniecuddles2]

that told you Mikey no more EEKing lol

[mikey4444]

"The terrified woman explained that the 5ft 5in (1.6m) snake had wrapped itself around her and bitten her nose"

Islay.........for me this most certainly is an EEEEK ! moment.

[Islay]

Well I could think of actual words to describe it but if you want to use a silly word then go ahead!

[Peter Pedant]

call for sqad !

well my dears - boa constrictors are the host for a human disease !
eeek ! has it died out yet ?

either pythons or boa constrictors different species
to catch them
a) find a python hole
b) persuade a smallish man to go up to his belly button in the hole
c) python bites man
d) frenz drag man out and clunk ! you knock out the python and release the man
e) one caught python which you can sell

so one Sarf American man tuned up with streaky calcification on X ray in his muscles ( lower limb ++) in a hospital in London - and the streaks turned out to be calcified larvae ( creepy crawly things) in the muscles - (not myiasis that is something else) - from python hunting. - I think they must have biopsied one

the larvae couldnt complete their life cycle so just sort of turned over and died - a bit like cysticercosis ( pig worm but man gets in the way)

uuuuuuuuuugh!

( X ray quiz as a student 1975)

[ummmm]

I agree that EEK is a stupid word.

[mikey4444]

Ummm....lighten up a bit....this is Chatterbank for goodness sake.

[Eleena]

Mikey, I'd call that an eek moment, having your nose bitten and held on to by a boa!

[ummmm]

There's nothing wrong with me. I just don't like the word.

[Zacs-Master]

It's a bit 'girlie' Mikey.

[Peter Pedant]

O god I would go eek if bitten by a boa
( and possibly wirte a song about it - )

"dont get bitten by a boa mrs Birtles"
you dunno what lies that way
a straight on road turns curly wurly woo
yeah it do - curly wurly woo.....

OK I ned some help on that one .....

getbitten on the nose by a boa - for fear of the diseases I might get
( eek! eek !!)

[Islay]

I don't need to lighten up - Eeek is a stupid word used by those with little imagination or knowledge of the English language!!

[Eleena]

LOL!

[Peter Pedant]

yeah Mikey you great girl !

yeah and why didnt the hello-girl on the switch say

Ha if it has latched onto your face - how are you making this call ?

Good one ! as for the larva story - Ha ! ........ Ha! ( dubbl ha!)

[Peter Pedant]

eek mikey you seem to have roused a bit of girlie ire wiv your eek story
so early in the week end as well

[mikey4444]

Am I bovvered PP ?

[Cloverjo]

I think Mikey was joking with the use of 'eeeek'.
I'm sure he wouldn't actually say 'eeeek' while standing on a chair looking at a woman whose face was wrapped around by a massive snake.

[wolf63]

Eek is a word in the English language so Mikey can use it freely. But I am sure he 'll find other words of similar meaning. He will need lots of words to cover the vast amount of of animals that freak him out.

:-)

[Berniecuddles2]

EEK islay has spoke
EEK take heed Mikey
EEK I need to have a lie down ...I'm all EEKED out!

[Cloverjo]

I think he might also be echoing our lovely Minty, who does say 'eek' a bit. Again, I think it's just a bit of fun.
