The Monkey

Duly noted; I will almost certainly set his yeti ass on fire.

I love it. I especially love the "hold on, hold on" after the fuckin A. Reminds me of so many meetings I've attended.

Really, though, isn't the lesson "When in doubt, use a flamethrower"?

Other than that, my strategy was flawless!

cockroaches are far worse than bees. I despise roaches. In fact, just typing those last two sentences makes me feel like a roach is on me right now. I also have a healthy respect for bees. Or perhaps a renewed fear is a better way to put it. On the way home last night, my son informed my wife and me that he doesn't want to get married because then he'll get "stinged" (pronounced olde english style: sting-ED) by a bee. I told him he was absolutely right.

Definitely next time. Flame Thrower FTMFW.

My parents' place has what can only be(e) described as a bee infestation. You know how folks were saying that all the bees had disappeared. Well, they're at my parents' place in East Hampton having a grand old time. The odd thing--at least to this city slicker--is that the fuckers are living in holes in the lawn(!). Is that normal? The first two holes I blasted with hornet/wasp deadly poison, then put a shovel full of dirt over the hole "entrances." They didn't seem to like that much, but the deadly poison seemed to keep them in check, and the activity around those holes ceased. The next day I found another beewaspnesthole in the damn lawn. This one seemed even more active. But I was out of bee deadly poison, so I decided to flood their hole (while giggling of course). I would have used gasoline but I was afraid. Anyway, after what I thought was sufficient flooding, I then did the old close up the hole trick. Perhaps they had a meeting the night before because they were ready this time and one of them got me good. I later noticed that the small spade/shovel I was using was hollow, I think (certainly not HC-certified). My theory is that a ninja bee sneaked up that damn shovel and injected me with poison right down into my thumb bone. I jumped up and down, howling in pain, shrieking obscenities in front of 4 children. I slammed down the stupid out of spec shovel, whined to my wife, and put ice on my thumb. Then I had a beer and watched roughly 300,000 bees claim the shovel as their own. I won a battle. And I definitely lost the war.

I got stung by a gotdam bee. That shit still hurts.

Get the inday unit.

THE BEER WE'LL POUR MUST SAY SOMETHING MORE SOMEHOW!

This thread is filled with more wisdom and win than the op had any right to hope for. For some reason, I now have the theme songs for Riunite (Riunite on ice...that's nice!) and Lowenbrau (here's to good friends, tonight is something special).

Delicious stuff. Delicious.

This is great news. Naaman, I'm so glad you were able to get back for the birth. Congratulations and best of health to all of you!

We are helping you, you just don't know it yet. BTW, this isn't headfi. Regardless, welcome.

The penis gourd is a fine suggestion--it'll really grab you by the balls.

O2 + KGSS + Pass Labs D1 DAC

Yeah, maybe. I also rubbed snot all over their components.

Good luck, naaman, and welcome home!

Some good deals on Grados there. The salespeople at Singer were always dickish to me.

Happy Bday Tyll!

Ethan, I'm sorry to hear about the gout, but WOW you have lost a lot of weight. That's great! As for the job stuff, as you well know, it sucks out there now. Given your current medical conditions, have you considered applying for disability?

Birigr, can you think of any significance to the model number? Does Stax follow any specific naming convention?

It's all moving too fast!

I think want.
