Got Anything Random To Say

I was watching a green ant bite me today when I was outside (things like biting me); I never knew they stung with a needle on their abdomen. Like a wasp. The little fella was going to town with it.

I flicked it off.

I had oatmeal at 2 AM, just to do so.

Interesting. I'd like to see one. I've never even heard about green ants. Do they really have a needle? So maybe it's really a wingless bee rather than an ant.

Sometimes I look at the view count for different posts, and it confounds me. So many people who choose not to contribute. So many songs unsung....

What's more dangerous than a training cyclist riding at night?

Stoopid girl.

It appears to be pretty much the same thing as a wasp, i.e., a stinger. Green-head ants (the black ones that burrow and make nests under grass) and Fire Ants are good examples of ones with an abdomen mounted stinger.

Said ant was in this position on my leg (this is a Fire Ant. Funnily, both have bitten me in the same location up near the road):

Stinger:

Today I found one of the most interesting things in a bunch of clients documents ever; and AVO. Was fun reading.

Thanks, Dillogic. Very good pics. They are indeed stinging ants, not wingless bees. I didn't know that there were ant species that can sting rather than bite. Nature is full of interesting creatures.

I wish I had a Sega Genesis.

Seriously?

bottle shop attendant: hi! what i can i do for you?

person: i'll buy 15 bottles thank you.

bottle shop attendant: 15 bottles of what?

person: just 15 bottles. that's all.

bottle shop attendant: but 15 bottles of what?

person: i just want 15 bottles ! it says outside that you're a bottle shop, so i'm simply asking to buy 15 bottles !

bottle shop attendant: do you mean empty bottles then?

person: obviously!

bottle shop attendant: we don't sell empty bottles.

person: what?!?!? you should've indicated that on your shop sign!! ! i spent 3 minutes to find a parking space after i saw your sign, and now you tell me that i can't buy any empty bottles?!?!? that's insane!

bottle shop attendant: actually, why would you want to buy 15 empty bottles?

person: because i have 15 empty bottles at home, and i am terrified that one of them will break one day.

bottle shop attendant: well then, it's only necessary to buy one empty bottle if it is only one bottle that you already own that you expect to break.

person: and you can not even sell me that one bottle!

bottle shop attendant: hmmmm. maybe i can sell you one empty bottle. (in a state of exasperation, the bottle shop attendant takes a 750 ml bottle of beer from the fridge and chugs it down, and then he washes it out and offers it to person) ahhhh..here. that'll be 20 cents.

person: but that's only one bottle.

bottle shop attendant: you agreed that all you needed was one bottle when i pointed out that you were afraid of "one" of your own bottles breaking.

person: but don't you see? i've got no idea which one of them is going to break, so i'm going to have to buy 15 empty bottles so i can cover any eventuality..

policeman: yeah gidday mate. how's it going.

person: i am having trouble buying bottles.

policeman:: really?


ahhh whatever... i am too tired to be serious or structured or aspirational or ambitious with respect to my "imaginatory" reconstructions of daily life in social purgatory. (there is an undeveloped plot in there which could have seen the bottle shop attendant being persuaded to drink 15 x 750 ml bottles of beer in order to render them empty so that he could finally eject "person" from his shop (after satisfying his unrelenting request) because the police did not turn up, but, in the process get swindled out of 15 bottles of the finest wine). way too lazy am i to verbalize it.

i have to excersize more.
i think i will stand up for a few minutes.

With no concept of time I rely on what's on t.v. to keep me right...it'll be fun to see how pausing t.v. and recording shows with my new settop box effects this...

Same here.

Those fire ants are sure beautiful.

Everything at once when you are moving to a new place.

It's astonishing how often I find myself yelling at my computer, "JUST GO TO WHAT THE F**K I CLICK ON!!"
