Preying on the prophet

'Real Housewives' slang for gettin' some of dat holy penis
Real Housewives of Atlanta's Drew Sidora pulled out receipts on LaToya Ali, who apparently got quite close to Prophet Lott... in the Biblical sense. Drew accused her of "Preying on the prophet" and ruining the christening of her young daughter.

preying mantis

The only insect that makes a great pet.

They hatch on Memorial Day, give or take a few days. About July 4 they are large enough to find in the wild. If you have an egg case in a terrarium, you'll be able to see them as soon as they hatch, but good luck finding these little guys outside.

They all have wings, but only adult males fly. Males are slightly shorter, a lot skinnier, and much more hyper. They are a lot harder to catch and somewhat more difficult to tame.

If well fed, they are much less cannibalistic than commonly thought. Yes, a small percent are Jeffrey or Jennifer Dahmers, but most are not.

Unfortunately they are short lived. In the wild they die between fall and winter. In captivity they still might die in fall, but some will make it almost to next spring.

It may seem cruel, but it's usually best to clip their wings in the fall, as they get a disease which starts out as brown spots on their wings but soon turns into holes. They die sooner if you let them get this, or let it progress. Cut the wings and put some Neosporin CREAM on them with a Q-tip.

FOOD: Katydids are their favorite. Small grasshoppers are good. Moths are excellent. You may have to buy crickets in the winter. Baby mantids eat flightless fruitflies (PETSMART).
Preying Mantis Kung Fu mimicks the fighting style of the Preying Mantis.

*homosexual transgender individual*: Ugh, I’m tired of these cunts at Starbucks putting rainbows in shit just to exploit me. I just want some fucking soy latte without any extra shit in it.
*me*: Looks like some hardcore pride preying if I’ve ever seen it.

Preying Mantis

Describes the physical position of someone who is gurned up to their tits.

Put your arms straight out in front of yourself, then bend your elbows so that your foreams are at a right angle to your upper arms, and parrallel to your body. Fully extend your fingers, then bend your wrists down, to form a sort of 'M' shape with your forearms and hands.

When accompanied by rolling eyes, a swinging underbitten jaw, and low-soft groaning noises, can be highly amusing.
