Foo - Human 1: nature 0

I was watching this wasp fly around one of my windows (in between the closed window and a screen) for the entire morning. I kept wondering how i would deal with it but put it off as the window was closed.

Well, it seems it wasn't closed enough because before i knew it he had flown his way right inside my little apartment. My apartment is small and i have two cats, so i didn't want him roaming around. He flew at me and i knocked him to the ground with a book...like a ninja i reacted.

Then i did what any individual would when next to you is sitting a can of WD-40 and a box of matches.

I quickly sprayed the ******* with the WD-40. This pissed him off real good, and probably wasn't too good for his health. It also glued him to the ground a bit. With a swift ninja like action i lit a match, and lit a stream of WD-40 in his direction.

It's funny how quickly something like a coated in WD-40 wasp will light up if given proper ignition.

Anyone want some fried wasp?

You were using a WD40 flamethrower inside your apartment? Damn.

It's not as flammable as you think. Those aromatic sprays are more so, in fact. Believe it or not, i also had the foresight to make sure a pillow was next to me on the couch...you know, just incase of a wasp fire explosion or something.

I use raid bug spray.

For my inhouse flamethrower.

:lol:

I like what you did there...

Whoa, you're just one step away from serial killer (http://www.ocregister.com/articles/animals-cruelty-strong-2023281-people-killers).

**** that man! You ever been stung by a wasp? I don't want to get any closer to those pricks than i have to.

You say that like it is a bad thing or something.

I like killing bugs, I like fire.

Uhoh.

Do you have any idea how overpopulated the world would be without serial killers? Hint: Slightly more!

Why didn't you just eat the wasp?

hmmm....a real b movie if there ever was one.

it is a wasp movie, not a bee movie.

wasp, bee, hornet, what's the diff? Timmy's just gonna spray it with fishoil and burn it anyway.

I am sitting here thinking what a crazy thing to do with the whole homemade blowtorch to kill an insect in the house bit, but another part of me is thinking, what the heck would MERTON have concocted and subsequently constructed to deal with this dilemma?


Thank you. Now I feel normal.

Nice carbon footprint you've got going on there but maybe next time ... you might try a rubber heel.

yeah tim, next time light your shoe on fire and throw it at the wasp.

fill the house with acetylene and throw a match...that'll teach the bug not to come into your house.

Raise a colony of ants in his sand-filled walls, and let them do battle with the wasp.

I can see it now: Yosemite Sam, aiming at a mosquito, and blowing a 1,000 holes in the walls of his cabin with a shotgun until the roof caves in.

I like killing bugs, I like fire.

Uhoh.

and how many guys are out there that DON"T!?!? :p

Have you thought about putting a bowl of liquid hydrogen next to miscreant and flicking matches at it from a safe distance?

I'm such a hippy, I try to avoid killing insects. I had a couple of hornets building a nest in my apartment once, so when they left to get more building material, I grabbed their nest and chucked it out the window. I had to do it two more times, but then they never came back :D

I've been stung by wasps twice. Brief burning sensation, then very mild discomfort around the stung area for a day or so. Really not a big deal unless you're allergic.

Never mind that there will be no house left for them to come into... :D

shhhhhhhh! your not supposed to give away the ending like that.

In which case you are possibly dead, so no big deal either.:D

Pretty sure you can find a way to make one of these catch on fire and explode, but until then it's a very handy item for dealing with situations just such as these.

Good lord....:rolleyes:

For what its worth, everyone is allergic to the sting. That is what makes it hurt. There are differences in the degree to which people respond. Some worse than others. Bee stings for me, and especially wasp stings, are excruciating. This doesn't surprise me because although i don't have a severe (life threatning) allergic reaction, both my father and brother do.

I could have stomped on him with my shoe, but i'd have to go put it on...then my show would have been dirty.

Its a good thing that was inside your apartment. Wasps will release a distress-signal smell that other wasps in the area can quickly smell. They'll fly in for backup if needed.

I know it! My friend thought it would be a good idea when we were kids to throw a rock at a wasps nest on the way past (on his bike no less)...i told him he was stupid...so did a swarm of wasps.

Well, a wasp's stinger does inject a venom. Whether there is an allergic reaction or not, the venom itself causes pain.

I suspect my body is pretty uninterested in stings or bites generally. I don't get mosquito bites or anything. I'm sure they "attack" me as much as anyone, but I don't get the itch or bumps. Last time I had one was when I was 12.

yeah tim, next time light your shoe on fire and throw it at the wasp.

My second coke through the nose laugh at a JSharr post in a week. I nominate Jsharr as the funniest poster since RyanF left.
