I think I just killed a wasp.

Recommended Posts

My B.

So anyways, I just moved to the south and I thought bees would be the worst, but no to me the worst flying fuckers is those little things that get on you when you sweat and it like stings or something for a minute. Being that its always 95 million degrees i instantly have a pool in my ass upon exiting my apartment so I have those bugs eating me all day.

Once there was a big damn praying mantis on my chair on the porch. I got my Axe body spray and lighter and torched it. I swear to god Bear Grylls woulda picked the meat off that mantis and been satisfied for 3 days. It was THAT big.

I'm guessing Horse Flies? Look like a glorified house fly on Andro and protein power? Fat little guys too. Yeah....unfortunately...they bite, and don't sting. Thus they don't die for the carnage that they create....the damn things just KEEP ON BITING!!! ARGH!!!

I dont really kill wasps that much personally but my dad shoots them out of the air with rubber bands. I would never believe him until the thing was dead on the floor. Really fun to watch him do that

When I was young I used to shoot flies with a rubber band gun. Used to instantly squash 'em from a good 10 yards or so.

We had grapevines in our backyard when I was a kid, so we always get a ton of bees/wasps back there. One summer when I was like 12 I got into a fight with my little brother back there and we started swinging at eachother. all of a sudden the wasps started going after both of us, I think I came out of it with like 12 stings and he had about the same.

I've torched many a nest in my day.

I killed a wasp with a fork once. My buddies and I were eating at a nice little restaurant in Cleveland called "Shooters". Wicked nice day, so we sat at one of the tables outside, right on the water. Beautiful restaurant, good-looking waitresses...but one problem; one wasp that was flying around and wouldn't leave us alone.

After we got our drinks, the waitress came back over to get our orders. We told her about the wasp, and she apologized and told us that we could move back inside if we wanted to do so after she got our orders. Sure enough, while she was taking our orders, the little fucker landed on the table right in front of me. I grabbed my fork and swung for it - and got it good. Then I just looked at the waitress and said "Um, I think we're going to stay at this table, but I'm going to need another fork, please." I was a hero.

After it was swept off the table and onto the floor.

My chicken parm...it was good.

(yeah, I took a lot of pictures of random, unimportant stuff - but I'm just a kid and I was on vacation with my buddies, so just about everything was unimportant...but usually had a good story behind it).

*edit* When I was younger, I used to kill them with wiffleball bats. I'd poke at a nest and watch them all go nuts, then try to pick them off with the bat. I figured that if I could swat a wasp with a wiffleball bat, I sure as Hell would be able to adjust to a curveball.

Wow, that chiken looks awesome. I'm hanging out with you next time I get upstate

i personally think yellow jackets are the worst. the little fuckers don't hurt quite as bad, but they sting AND bite. and when your out mowing grass they can get all down your socks in a matter of seconds. and a normal bee, you can mind your own business and he'll leave you alone, but i swear yellow jackets get off on stinging people.

They are aggressive, as are wasps and hornets. Territorial more like. Honey bees, bumble bees etc, not so much. Bald headed hornets... ugh. Had a nest of them in our shed one spring, and I went out to get a shovel for something. Got stung about 5-6 times. Not fun, the little bastards.

Well where I live has one of the bigger lakes in alberta, and its nice, water is cleaner straight out of the lake than most places out of the plant. I have one realllllly rich friend, he lives on the lake in a huge house. One summer there were so many grasshoppers around and we went into his garage, got badminton racquets, and his hunting gear on and went out crazy swatting them around, it was so much fun at the time, but after it was gross with all the dead grasshoppers around.

One time, I trapped a hornet in my bathroom, grabbed a lighter, ruler, and some flammable cleaning product(don't remember at this time) I ended up chasing that bastard around there for half an hour, squirting it with the cleaning stuff and finally it was getting kind of whoozy after being beaten and sprayed, and it landed on the counter. I tried spraying deoderant through the lighter, and it was soaked with cleaning product, and it pretty much exploded, and some of it flew off and landed on a roll of toilet paper, which caught on fire, and caused a shirt on the floor to catch on fire. I made a mad dash down the stairs and grabbed a glass and filled it up, and dumped it on the shirt/toilet paper.

Thank god it was a solitary summer day with both my parents at work and my sisters tanning outside.

Growing up on a farm, I've seen more than my fair share of stinging insects.

The worst was probably the time I got stung on the eye (through my eyelid), but the strange part was that it was at a friend's house. We were playing basketball and apparently there was a small nest behind the backboard. I went to grab a rebound under the basket and a wasp flew down and got me.

The dogs rustled up a hornets nest once; the long-haired one was fine but the wire-haired one got stung over 400 times (and yet was perfectly fine). Try to imagine a black dog with red spots all over his skin from nose to tail. My dad and I went out that night with a torch and incinerated the nest, but apparently it burned out after about 30% was toast. The next day, the nest (which was the size of a basketball) was probably twice as big as it had been. We got it good the next night by first spraying it with Ortho, then burning it. That took good care of it.

As for mowing, there were always plenty of yellow jacket nests buried; I think everyone except my mom got hammered by them at least once.
