Ant guilt

[sighyoung]

I saw some black ants once, and they were getting along swimmingly. Then a fire ant came by and they all started shouting racial epithets at the poor guy.

I once saw gangs of black and white pigeons pull switchfeathers on each other.

I hear a good way of getting rid of fire ant colonies is to take a large shovel and bucket, scoop up the mound of one colony, and dump it on the mound of another colony.

The rival colonies will then fight to the death. Which would probably make a good Discovery Channel program, incidentally.

You would have to move mighty fast with that scooped out colony,
'cause they would leave nothing but your skeleton after 5 minutes.

Have MacGyver do the scooping.

I'm convinced this is how Marlon Perkins did so many episodes of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

I used to take firecrackers to ant homes in our backyard. Pretty awesome explosions (on a small scale).

I did this, too.

However, the resulting explosion flung some pretty PO'ed
ants on me and they exacted what revenge they could.

it was still fun nonetheless, right?

Ants would definitely kill you in a second if they could...they're necessary for life on Earth, but that doesn't mean they have to live in my front yard...

I used to do the magnifying glass thing... a lot.


I'm constantly looking over my shoulder. I fully expect a long, painful retribution at the pincers of thousands. I'm not looking forward to it.
