Dunno. Are you made of wool?

Anyway, the bugs are ginormous by me. We get plenty of mole crickets, huge crane flies, and lacewings, and the spiders just get huge on them - the other day, we found one outside the garage that was as big as my palm.

First a plague of wasps, now giant moths are kamikaze-ing me. Should I be worried? :takecover:
Sounds like they are using for place either as a live pinball game, or a moth mosh-pit. :wink:

Jesus Christ, today is just getting better and better.

Apparently €300,000 was stolen from a bank earlier today. What proposal is being considered by the government to help prevent such incidents from happening? Taxing people for using ATMs. Just how the fuck that's supposed to help is utterly beyond me. Just what the fuck are these muppets thinking? For fuck's sake. Hey morons! If you're that fucking desperate to stop the country from going even more bankrupt then we already are, how about you take a look at your own fucking salaries? Can any of you clowns give me a good fucking reason why the prime minister of Ireland gets paid more than fucking Barrack Obama?

Jesus fucking Christ. When's the next damn election coming up? :x

Are you lot starting to think you might have been a bit hasty with that tiff in the twenties? :P

Wow, that might just be the stupidest "solution" I've heard to a problem since the medical insurance issue.

Ah yes, sounds like the stamp tax minus there wasn't a war to blame it on.

Has anybody notice that for a professed non-believer, Sionnach seems to be invoking the various names fro the Christian deity an awful lot lately? :P

Indeed, at the camps for my old high-school-age Jewish youth group we used to say that sex was a mitzvah* - double on the Sabbath.

* - mitzvah: Scriptural commandment/suggestion/pretty good idea.

At least for the catholics it sort of is. The whole point of it all was something along the lines of "Get married, worship god and make lots of babies."

Considering that I was stung in the carotid artery four days ago by one that looked like a flying orange chili pepper (new one to me), we may in fact be in the early stages of the Wasp War. We go to nail our rain gutters back up, and we're easy targets.
There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939
