Oh Yeah, I'm Bad...

[saone]

I am riding such an adrenaline high right now, and it's really sad, 'cause all I did was kill a hornet.

But, people, I killed a hornet! All by myself! Ms. I've-Been-Stung-Get-The-Adrenaline-Syringe-Ready. Sure, it involved duct tape and a broom, but still...

Will now try to convince Boss to have an exterminator come and check around the office. I've heard enough horror stories about three foot nests in attics to pitch a fit if I have to.

Hey,

You killed one of my Insectile bretheren Sisteren? Auuuugh! You wound me, madam!

btw- If we're talking big, spider-hunting wasp type hornet, they're solitary. Otherwise it's a paper wasp, which is social, and which even now are prolly planning a most glorious and heinous revenge for their fallen brood mate :points to icon:

Oooh - you're brave!!! I'd need a shoe at least!

Hope he has no friends lurking around . . .

How did I know you would choose to favor the insect. ;P

And, it was a European Hornet. It was about 3cm long, and it was not happy being inside. Normally, I'm a live and let live kind of girl when it comes to creepy crawlies--just ask all the spiders living in the back staircase, rent-free, I might add--but I got stung really bad when I was a baby, so I'm super sensistive.

But, if it makes you feel better, the other day I did rescue this weird, potato bug looking thing from meeting a nasty end with a flyswatter.

Duct tape wrapped around the end of a broom handle. Gave me a good three foot distance. I felt like McGyver. *g*

If he does, we're calling the exterminators. My mighty hunting days are over.

Hey,

Rescuing a Potato Bug is well and good, but to make up for the Hornet's demise, you'll have to save a *predatory* arthropod of some kind. So have I decreed *g*

- A lot of people on my Flist now routinely email me and tell me they've set free an insect/arachnid instead of squooshing it. I'm not sure whether they're telling me to inform me that I've changed the way they perceive the natural world, or just hoping to head off possible retribution *g*

btw- I stumbled upon a *most* interesting picture of David Boreanaz today. Watch this space... *g*

How about the half dozen or so spiders I save from a watery demise every year, hmmmm? For some reason these huge spiders--not hairy enough to be a Wolf, but the coloring's not right for an American Funnel Web--decides that my bathtub is a happening place to be. After almost re-enacting a certain scene from Arachnophobia more times than I'd like to count, I have now learned to check the tub before I get in... mostly. Anyway, not only am I rescuing the little beasties, most times I'm doing it NAKED, so I think that earns me extra points.

You are a Goodwill Ambassador for all things icky. Congratulations. ;D

Hey,

You certainly get Wirrrn Points for rescuing spiders from the tub (sound like Sac Spiders or House Spiders), but you *loose* Wirrrn Points for making me visualise female nudity *g*

btw- you can buy Spider Ladders now- little, cotton ladders you attach to taps so that spiders can get themselves out of the bath...


Speaking of Nudity, those David Boreanaz pics I mentioned should be up later today...

btw- how's the fic going?!!
