Just for Amy.....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Ya'll remember Gewher98's story about being nailed by a wholefuckinglot of yellowjackets during survival training? http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=20044.msg376915#msg376915

I *expletive deleted*ing HATE wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, etc.

If you google the name from that spider field pic, an interesting article about the critters can be read.

This caught my attention:


Quote
Wasps are another problem for tarantulas.  Several varieties paralyse tarantulas with their sting and then lay eggs in the spider’s abdomen.  When the eggs hatch, the paralysed spider is eaten alive by wasp larvae.  Even the goliath birdeater is not immune.  The particular species of wasp that feeds on the goliath is the size of a sparrow.

Wasp. As big as a *expletive deleted*ing sparrow. Holy *expletive deleted*it.
