That was the largest walking stick I have ever seen! I remember taking a deceased rhinoceros beetle to Mail Boxes Etc., to ship to my friends in Indiana. You should have seen the look on the woman's face when she opened the box after asking me what I was sending, and I told her, a bug.

I live in the South and our bugs come in the XXL here. This beetle was enormous and looked prehistoric. Needless to say, my friends had years of fun and excitement, hiding my gifts to them in various places at work and home.

I always knew you were real. Send that rain dance and rap to the wild fires to the West Pappa Pepper.
