Help name 78,216 little black ants, please

[Math Is Hard]

Hey, if I can't shoot my skunks then you can't kill your ants. I think you should catch them all and relocate them.

Maybe I could just spay and neuter them all,too.

and tag them each with little radio transmitters so that we can track their progress once set free. You can also make a fine batch of ant testicle tea - quite tasty!

LOL! I saw the avatar but I hadn't noticed your location. I really got quite a reaction from Tsu with that shot.

 

[The Bob]

If you've got a lot of toothpicks, I've got some ideas for millipedes...

Hey, do I get Njorl's points now?

No but you can share them

I remember reading about Richard Feynman's fascination with ants. He spent a couple of weeks following them around his house, I think.

LOL! I saw the avatar but I hadn't noticed your location. I really got quite a reaction from Tsu with that shot.

I still think that's hysterical how you sprung that little surprise on her! :surprise:

 

[Tsu]

I know. Is that just CUTE or what??! I'm so honored to have one of our little skunks chosen as Math Is Hard's avatar! BTW, Ivan - was that Miss Aftermath or was it Evo the Terrible chowing down? Could you tell? I mean... the tail is so BUSHY and all... I mean, you know... well, just thought it might be Evo... Well, er...never mind...

 

[Tsu]

:I still think that's hysterical how you sprung that little surprise on her! :surprise:

Yeah. My life with Ivan is just chock FULL of those 'hysterical little surprises'...

 

[Math Is Hard]

Yeah. My life with Ivan is just chock FULL of those 'hysterical little surprises'...

April Fool's Day must be quite an event at your house!

 

[Evo]

That's me, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

 

[Math Is Hard]

HAhaAHAHhHAAhAAA! Oh Mercy, Evo's tail is quite magnificent, isn't it!

This little sucker is running wild in Northern California too.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Thanks for that link - that was helpful. Yup - it sounds like them. They show up everytime the weather gets warm and dry, usually heading for the bathtub first, seeking out water.

 

[Tsu]

That's me, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Wow! That WAS you on the lawn the other night! I'd recognize THAT buttho.. er - tail. Yeah, TAIL! - anywhere! (I don't remember saying anything about bright eyes, tho... but, heck... I forget stuff...you know how it is... )

 

[Tsu]

Evo, I LOVE your new avatar and location!

 

[Evo]

Evo, I LOVE your new avatar and location!

Thanks sis. It kind of reflects the "real" me.

 

[The Bob]

Ok this PF relationship thing is going too far. I can't keep up. I am sure there is more than I know but I can't remember :surprise:

"bushy tailed" reflects the real you?

I should make a kinship chart.

Please do.

[Math Is Hard]

It's really complicated actually. You see Evo and Tsunami are sisters, and Jimmy P is Evo's son, and Jimmy P is betrothed to Mooberry Marz.. BUT, should Jimmy P and Mooberry Marz ever have a baby, then Tsunami will actually be the GRANDMA of the baby and not the Aunt. So you can see why the whole process is very difficult to work out on paper. Oh, yeah, -- Tribdog is Jimmy P's pet, and I am also a sister of Evo and Tsunami's but not exactly in the same way, since Evo and Tsu are identical twins and have a special psychic bond... make sense?

You might also want to explain the difference between Zooby and Zoobie and Zooby: the first is a zoobie, the second is a cat, and the third is a skunk.

 

[zoobyshoe]

That was probably confusing. Let me clarify: Zooby is a zoobie, but Zoobie is not a zoobie, and neither is Zooby.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Let me clarify: Tsunami and Ivan, at one point, had two pets: Zoobie and Zooby. Now they only have Zoobie. Regardless, neither one of these pets was Zooby.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Think of it this way:

In no case does Zooby equal Zooby.

In one case Zooby equals Zoobie.

In one case Zoobie does not equal Zooby.

Actually, I had no idea! That clears up a few quetions I had.

 

[The Bob]

Well I thank Maths in both threads that I have got this.

Zooby. Shut up.

[zoobyshoe]

Zooby. Shut up.

Are you speaking to me or to Zooby, or have you misspelt "Zoobie"?

 

[The Bob]

What??

wasn't the original topic ants? i leave them to their trail and for the most part they stick to it, it's those big ants that just seem to not build coloneys but invade get the wrath, whatever that is lol. the cats might care if they wern't watching the birds and lizards.

If a thread in General Discssion doesn't go off topic at least once, it's not successful.

This was a great thread from GD's Golden Era.
