We used to have a flock of those fuckers at the practice space when I moved in. Zillions. We call them "beer flies". When you put down an open beer, they jump inside within seconds. Used to have to cover up any open berrs with bottlecaps or packs of cigarettes or whatever to keep the jerks out.

Turns out the solution was simple. We instituted a rule: no wounded soldiers left, EVER. That's where they were breeding, inside berrs that were left sitting overnight or longer.

I suggest you start with not ever leaving even a drop of berr in any bottle that's anywhere for any length of time. We don't have them at the space anymore, which I consider a small miracle.

sleepkid is right. I was an exterminator for 10 years. I don't remeber how we treated for them. I wasn't a very good exterminator.

You sure it's not the meth?

jurgis is clearly smoking mothamphetamine.

Hmm... Crystal Moth, as a band name -- gotta be taken already, right?

Do you guys think this has anything to do with the fact I defecate into our garbage disposal when I am angry?

Good lord... I got a bit queasy just at the 'gateway' page... Did not check out the video.

Actually, I think the idea of gnats doesn't bother me anymore, after the maggotry.

Cured!

Is it the most disturbing thing I have ever seen, I have gotten the shivers from it popping into my head at least 5 times a day since I saw it.
I really wish I had never seen it.

I don't have the guts for it... I know someone who saw the whole Nick Berg beheading and regrets it very much.

Fuck, I wish I had 25 pieces of taxidermy. Anyone gets a lead on something dead, white and fuzzy let me know. I did just get a lovely deer hide as a gift.
I think my problem is related to my housemate's banana collection, see.

if you had posted that about 2 weeks ago you would have had more Taxidery than you can shake a stick at my Grandpa was a really good Taxidermist, and Grandma and I cleaned out her basement, alot of things got thrown out, I think there might be some fish, would you like a Sturgen? its about 6 foot...

The beheading didn't phase me, i have watched it. Yeah it's fucked up and nasty but it didn't get into my head like this one did.


Someone watch that video, who has the guts?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
throw out no more taxidermy!
please!

I am not using my trusty symbol of appreciation multiplied by 3 this one time.

What's it about? Beheading gnats, unsnouting anteaters?. I don't want to watch it, so could you briefly describe it for me?

Itchy, those friends of mine, You tell them what you want and they'll do it.
They have a deer dressed in S&M gear in their living room.
