my grandpa used to dry them out and use them as milking stoolsi was camping one day and i heard two of them arguing … should the take me home to eat or eat me there, they decided to eat me there because the really big ones would just take me away from them if they took me homei was fueling B52 up in Alaska during the war … it was so foggy that we would just count how many planes we filled and report back to the CO … turns out there had been only five planes but we had filled twelve … seems the other seven were mosquitoes
Say “sir” when you ask the Giant Mutant Mosquito to leave, Monty. This charming hell-hole site is your responsibility, and the lives of Dehlia and Moondog are in your hands (and those of Big Chemical and Pollution, Inc.). Consider that Capri Sun Wild Cherry Drink pouch a worthwhile sacrifice!
People laff and joke about mosquitoes the same way they do about “just the flu” — as minor nuisances akin to forgetting one’s car keys. But in fact mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on Earth to humans, transmitting malaria that kills a million people a year (disproportionately little kids). And “only the flu” knocked off about 675,000 Americans a century ago (compared to the official body count of 116,516 for World War 1, which was going on at the same time).

Be thankful it likes your fruit drink.

Moondog’s looking thinner than usual! Perhaps the mutant mosquito has already been snacking on him

Looks like they’re being visited by the chiquitos from the upper peninsula of Michigan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki-jgj7zbVs

The skeeters ain’t nothin’ like the ones we had when I was a kid. They’d carry away the cows if we wasn’t careful.

Remember the Garfield comic strip for 1/29/2012?; Jon said that where Garfield got a bucket of cherry syrup is best left unknown.
