Fly killing and piercings

Nov 05, 2006 23:49

There are flies in my unit. It started with one, whom I skooshed. Then today there were like four flying around. Grr! So I sprayed the whole place with tea-tree oil infused water to slow 'em down. I tried to catch them, but they were too crafty.

But now I've come home, and they have landed! And they are sluggish from my earlier natural insecticide attack! AND THEY ALL PERISHED! It was a lot of fun.

I'd use the spray bottle to douse them in mid-air, and see them drop in altitude or panic and try to fly away. With one, I used the focus nozzle setting and killed it mid-air with my spray bottle. Sweet.

The others I polished off with shoes, kleenex, etc once they were soaked with water and couldn't fly.

The best part was when they had just started to try to escape - flying and buzzing quickly around the room. And I'd swap at them with an open hand, making air currents. They would be buffeted by my tempestual attack and veer all over the place, crashing into things like a WWII plane that didn't recover properly from a barrel-roll. Better yet, now and again when I'd swap at them I'd hit them and they would totally flip upside down and such. Sooo much fun.

So if you ever would have said "Michael? He'd never hurt a fly!" Well, you may want to retract that statement. Fly-killing is an entertaining sport. No biting insects, mind you - it's most fun when they can't fight back. All they can do is run. *evil grin*

Oh and I saw someone with a pierced abdomen today. No, not belly button. She had two approx. 1.25'' long thin barbell type piercings, one on each side of her (rather flat) tummy - say 3-4'' to the side of her navel. And all you could see was the ends of the barbells - the bars inside were, well, beneath her skin. Of her stomach . That's a new one for me. Gross!

And that's all for now folks. Next update should be less graphic ^ ^
