Pickles by Brian Crane for July 17, 2010

Whatever, they’re both pests that no one wants around.

You would of thought Earl’s bald head would of made a more tempting target.

But at least flies don’t suck your blood & give you the itches…as annoying as they may be, Carmy.

Clyde (and Earl) should get one of them OFF! clip-on bug repellents.

Imagine if Noah had smacked but one of them.

Good point, Grog. I still don’t want either, though! LOL

We don’t have a single mosquito around here…they are all married and have BIG families ;-)

maybe if Earl wears the OFF! clip on…Opal will leave him alone too…

Ah, Earl has never been in Canada on a good fishing morning when the black flies come a-calling.

Every hear of HORSEflies Earl. You married the behind of one, so you should be familiar with how the other half bites.

Ever been bitten by a fly? Now, that hurts … worse than a mosquito bite. And that old trick of putting a few pennies in a plastic bag of water to keep pests away? Didn’t work for me.

The only mosquitoes that bite you and suck you dry are females. Just saying. ;)

I’m for waterboarding mosquitos

I’m for drawing and quartering mosquitos

I’m for locking mosquitos in a room for a month with rap being played endlessly .

well, maybe not that…..that’s cruel and inhuman

Mosquitoes are human?

That could be a West Niles mosquito! Be careful what you wish for! Watch out for West Niles mosquitos!

Go to Maine, land of Blackflies, no-see-ums, deerflies, and horseflies. Blackflies make mosquitoes seem like butterflies.

The flying insect life use Earl’s head for carrier landing and takeoff practice!

I’ve been bitten 3 times today already. West Nile is foremost on my mind. Just to add a little more umph to my initial comment.

Regular looking houseflies in the mountains of N.C. also bite.

I don’t like thinking about where flies like to hang out.

That’s piling on, jt.

At least mosquitoes don’t cause myiasis.

They must be in Flordia…

I hate mosquitoes

Flies, mosquitoes, spammers, they’re all the same.

Too true, jump4joy, too true! I say, swat ‘em all!

That reminds me of my trips to Guatemala (swatemalla).

Mosquitoes??Why, they’re the State Bird of Delaware …
