the dark forces, they are growing

a long, long time ago we knew the moths were planning world domination. we were naive enough back then to think it was only the moths we needed to fear. no. perhaps inevitably the butterflies succumbed. compared to the moths they lacked cunning and were easily led by promises of sandra's vodka and my cd collection. now the hosts are gathering yet faster. we have seen the cockchafers lurking around street lights with menace in their compound eyes. then the craneflies. then those we thought were friends, the beetles. perhaps we cannot even trust the bats no more. is insect domination the future? what will they do? and can we brave warriors do anything?

I have just deleted my response. Can't really remember what I said but oh well - here we go again! It s all codswallop my little blue bunny. Pure codswallop. They creepy crawlies and th flying thingies will all kill themselves off or migrate to another planet. Do not fear anything but the rat bat. The rat bat is evil incarnate and I speak from personal experience after one invaded my home for over six months many moons ago. So this is what you do:: Smear all exposed skin to stop then from landing on you and taking a bite. Cover hair with a tam or shave it off as if they land in your hair they have to be cut out by using scissors. Wear sun glasses. Follow my first hand experienced advice and you will be safe! Rat Bats are to get rid of. They are cruel and tenacious and made my life a misery. Down to rat bats!!

There there blue bunny. Calm down or take your meds. You may like rats and you may like bats but the rat bat is evil. Walks off shaking with fear. Thinks: Now where did I put my tam and darkers?

what nonsense cythiann. i like bats and i like rats and that sounds like a really cute fluff. in fact i want one. or would if they existed. which they don't. you possibly had a bat set up home in your attic. bats are tiny little animals that eat the REAL demons.

We need to hang on and hope for the respite that the cold and snowy winter will bring. The insects and bugs, the dark forces will be covered over with the snow and ice and they will go away. Do not discount the bats, they are secret agents that will devour the ravening hoard.

hum. so sandra has a moth obsession and you have a bat obsession? this could get sticky. sandra wants bats, lots of bats, to keep down the moths. but you think the bats are going to eat you. i don't know the answer here.

Bats are not insects all the best urban
@jb78000 (15139)

i bet you had to look that up urban. anyway no they are not. for a while i thought they might be in league with the insects but now i think i misjudged them.

do you think the animal kingdom is trying to tell you something about your friend? does she have a reflection?

A friend of mine was attacked by bats in Sydney, in the botanical garden. She was attacked by a kangaroo in a zoo too (and they didn't even wake up when the rest of us came) and by a dog. Several dogs actually. No rabbits yet. Or maybe the bats were upset because she didn't pay her respects to the Wollemi pine?

are you referring to that sensible young lady running for power who occasionally says slightly silly things? let me find her on twitter. she needs to know about the moths. she'll believe me, while all else just mock. except sandra but she is only worried about her vodka.

No I'm not only worried about vodka - I'm worried about running out of vodka when the moths close the distilleries. They know I can't fight them without industrial quantities of vodka.
@jb78000 (15139)

why are they going to close the distilleries? according to you the moths drink vodka too

I'm not sure where it's going, or if it will get there in my lifetime. Just to be on the safeside though, I'm being extra careful when I tell some one to 'bite me'. Out of fear that the dark forces might think I was talking to them.

Wasn't so much the moths or butterflies I was worrying about. More the beetles and the rest of the 'forces'.
@jb78000 (15139)

it is ok. they can't fly very quickly. you can probably outrun a beetle.

i don't think moths bite. and their new recruits mainly bite vegetables. mosquitoes are their pets, no more.

I think that the only sensible answer is for us humans to always go about in threes. That way we shall have six legs (and six feet with which to tread on creepy-crawlies) and the moths, butterflies, beetles, ants and other denizens of the dark recesses will consider us a larger and more scary kind of insect than them. Going about in threes would also have the advantage that we would be more Godlike (which is something we are often exhorted to be) and it would give census takers one third of the workload because they would be counting "hunits" (Human UNITS) rather than heads. Of course, public transport, such as coaches, trains and aeroplanes would have to redesign their accommodation but, since the seats are generally fixed on a track system to give flexibility, this would be no great problem. Traffic accidents would be greatly reduced because there would always be one person to drive, one to fix their makeup and one to talk on the cell phone. Drinking coffee would have to be shared between the two non-drivers.

And so what about our four footed friends? I envisage a huge employment market for fairies, pixies, goblins and dwarves to ride the smaller ones (thus giving them six legs) and, perhaps, those humans unable to fix themselves up in a threesome could be usefully employed riding the larger ones.

i fear this would not work my friend. there is no point having six legs to stamp on the foe. they fly. plus even six legs wouldn't make them see us as equal. for the same reason. going about in threes is also a very bad idea. one of the following is almost certain to happen with any random threesome. two of them fall out, don't speak to each other, get the third to pass messages, and try to get the third to take sides. i BET i'd be the third. or else two gang up and pick on the third. this is more likely to happen with teenagers.

I suggest we go around in groups of 4 with 8 legs and spin lovely arachnid webs and trap the little varmints. The lovely webs will catch both the winged creatures and the creepy crawlies. Later we can spin some lovely silk...

We have gangs of thug mosquitoes down here who try to take over the world every evening...swarming and biting like tiny starving vampires. They set their sights on our deck so we bought bug zappers that are not only effective but entertaning, too! Now that the weather is cooling armies of ants are trying to invade homes down here but we routinely murder them in their underground nests (since they bite!) so I'm not expecting to see any. Insect domination isn't going very well here.

At last, my message is spreading. You are right to fear the whole insect kingdom, but I cannot stress this enough. The moths are in charge. The only thing we can do is drink so much vodka that we won't even care. I'm going to start just as soon as I finish this post - no, can't wait that long. (goes off and pours king size vodka, takes large gulp). That's better! Now, where was I? Oh, yes. It's only fair to tell you just how evil moths are. They make wasps sting and mosquitos bite, by promising them 100 virgin wasps or mosquitos each in insect paradise, when somebody finally does for them with a fly swat. But here's the really dastardly part of the plot - they tell lies. There is an insect paradise, but there aren't any virgins left, because the moths got there first. That's how bad they are. Be afraid, be very afraid ...

Everything's addled - it's the vodka, or the moths, or a combination of the two. Oh yes, give me experience every time, but I'm not a wasp or a mosquito, am I? I'm glad you're taking this seriously at last, though.
@jb78000 (15139)
9 Oct 10
i am not sure this is all true sandra. if wasps are like bees then most of the ones you see are females. with mosquitoes it is definitely only the girls who bite. now come on, would you really want 100 virgin boys? wouldn't 100 experienced men be much better? i am not saying you are completely wrong, i am just suggesting you have got your facts a little addled.

We could just surrender. Do you think they will take prisoners? Maybe we will all have to move to the place where there are no insects--Antarctica. Bring a sweater.
