Another yellow jacket thread, this time in my pants
That's right, I'm sitting on my couch minding my own freaking business and the little asshole crawled up my leg then proceeded to sting me repeatedly after I decided to investigate what exactly it was moving around in there. I'm wearing long socks so I didn't notice it right away.
At least I caught it at my knee before it got any further.

That's extra "nope" drizzled on a "nope Sundae." Evil little shits....

I was mowing last weekend and got nailed.
It was unconditional war afterwards with foaming yellow jacket killer.

Hopefully that's the only one you find inside your house.

Nasty little flying bastids. One entered my house recently and all three kitties went wild. Leaping, jumping and persisting until the invader was vanquished. I think it was eaten, by Aspen, a year old Maine coon mix.

Please give Aspen a few extra head rubbings.
God bless America.

I'm sorry I laughed. I probably wouldn't if it happened to me.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I don't know how much gasoline is needed to kill a nest of those little yellow bastards, in the rootbase of a dead oak tree, but I know how much I used...
And, it It takes 27 minutes to schlep 15 gallons 100 yards using a 5 gallon gas can, a siphon and pouring it all in the nest before the ginormous "FWOOOOMPPP!!!"

Sigmonkey, I just wanna know how far away you needed to be before lighting the match on that ginormous Fwoooomppp.
Just in case I might want to think about maybe considering duplicating such an event. Sometime. Maybe.
God bless America.

I got stung in the finger on Friday. I did not see what it was, but pulled a 1/4" black claw like stinger out.

I found the nest. Tonight there will be blood and fire.
Well maybe not fire. It’s a little close to the house, just in a corner I don’t visit too often.

I'll be the first to admit.....I thought this thread was going to be about colored condoms.
