Same here. Three-fold attack in our home begins tomorrow. Heating the rooms to excessive levels to decimate the masses. Following up with biochemical warfare to destroy the young, with continued use of WMD monthly for the next six months to a year to verify complete eradication.

I don't mind bugs in nature, but I will not - WILL NOT, I say! - allow them in my fortress of solitude. :mad:

When I was in Madagascar I made friends with a few locals and was hanging out with them in one of the more shanty-townish parts of Antanivaro. We walked by a butcher shop (basically a hole in the wall), with the meat all on display on the wooden board that served as the counter (in 30+C weather). They kept away the flies using two techniques - 1) a traditional hair fly swatter; 2) a big can of aerosol bug repellent, occasionally sprayed liberally over the flies and meat. It worked passably well, but I decided that sardines from a can and fresh baguettes were a better bet for dinner that night.

Why were you in Madagascar?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Vacation :)

It was in 2003, I believe; a few months after Marc Ravalomanana survived the attempted coup against him. The rolling blackouts at the capital had just ended by the time I arrived.

I was more adventurous back in those days. Though, I believe Madagascar is (was) pretty safe for travelling - especially as compared to South Africa. I didn't hear - and haven't heard - any stories of bad things befalling tourists.

You should stay away from those public restrooms.  It's always crab season there.

I saw them crawling around a urinal at the Orlando airport.  Freaked me the fuck out.  Walked to a different bathroom to pee.

WTF?

Everything grows bigger down there, you know.

I've no idea. Number of my visits to Florida equals 1.

Anyways, I thought that the ants would protect their aphids? Won't they outnumber the ladybugs by quite a bit?

Ants can't fly. Ladybugs have Teh Edgez.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
