    If he was in Houston right now after this flood, he would!!

    These blood-sucking bastards are out of control. I hope none of you reincarnates as a mosquito, because I'd kill your ass in a second if you jump on my ankles like your friends are doing.

    I'm just minding my own bidness, walking my dog and look down to see 8 Buddha blood-suckers on my ankle.

    One little, two little, three little Buddhas...
    Four little, five little, six little Buddhas...

    SWAT!!!!

    I have an above ground pool in my backyard. Behind the pool, along the fence line (in a low lying area) is the pump and filter. This morning, I had to pull the filter to clean it. I had to hop around like mad while swinging my arms about me to get that filter pulled. There must have been more than 100 mosquitos on me at one time.

    So, I get the filter pulled and dive into the pool to save my ass. Only then do I notice the neighbors watching me, laughing their head off. Cute!


    Of course, I had to reverse the procedure once I had the filter cleaned. I think I need a transfusion.

    I used to try not to hurt bugs... but mosquitos suck my butthole. I 'kill em dead'.

    I've developed a friendly hierarchical system for bugs. I treat granddaddy long legs with reverence (of course). I'm nice to yellowjackets, bumblebees, etc. I don't spend too much time debating the intrinsic values of mosquitos or gnats.

    I only play godzilla w/ ants if they're in my house.

    We've just returned from walking the dogs and were absolutely swarmed, bitten and pushed around by these ferocious creatures. If the city doesn't start doing mass mosquito control, we are going to have a serious problem with the nasty things that mosquito's carry.

    We're talking epidemic!

    Actually, the Dalai Llama eats meat so I'm sure mosquitoes wouldn't be a big deal. It isn't the killing, I think, but the mindfulness that is the key.

    On the bug situation, you aren't kidding. They are FIERCE!!! They are driving me NUTS!!!

    Ever heard of mosquito repellant? Try placing a whole bunch of those citronella candles around the perimeter of your house. It'll look like one big seance. Heehee.

    I grew up in Houston. I remember those big trucks that drove around spraying for mosquitoes. We used to ride our stingrays through those clouds. Do I have long to live?

    Well, Peter Singer wouldn't kill a mosquito. He'd advocate having sex with it.

    We just bought a bat house off e-bay. It is called the "Skeeter Eater". I got it placed properly, but it says it may take up to a year for bats to find it.

    Pimp, you think you could capture 4-6 bats for me and transplant them into my backyard before next weekend? That should be enough to start my colony.
