Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 27, 2023 Administrators Share Posted November 27, 2023 This enemy somehow got behind the lines and was pursued to where there was no more room to maneuver. All attempts at close quarters engagement failed, as the enemy was agile and wiley. After several attempts were made, a carefully planned high altitude strategic bombing campaign was developed, and through the use of a specially developed Mk. la eyeball sight unit, thick body wash was dropped from dizzying heights, the invader was eliminated. There was concern about any initial near miss causing the enemy unit to quickly move under cover, but the first glob was a very near miss, entangling one side. Subsequent globs eliminated the threat, and a Mop Up unit was then employed to sanitize the area. My wife was quite relieved that carpet bombing was not called for this time. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 That's a big spider. I don't think they get that big here in Ontario so thankfully no need for carpet bombing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 That calls for flame throwers. Burn it all down because they have family. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 This one may be a nasty one (as happens often in Texas and Australia with wild life ) but Patricia had me develop a special variant of carpet bombing, called « slipper crushing » … The issue is that I then get some complaints about collateral damage and the need to mop up the spider pulp 🙄 … Hubert 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get invaded by crickets every year. They get literally everywhere. Cricket parts and pulp is a miserable fact of life every October. Every spring, we get June bugs by the millions. They’re here about 6 weeks, and then gone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 It's been tent caterpillars here for a couple springs. They just hang out of the trees and before you know it, one looks like Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Here on the island it's: ticks with Lyme Disease, termites (needing an exterminator), bees, wasps and loads of ants - black not red. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Fire Ants, Coyotes, Bobcats, Cougars, Wild Hogs, Copperheads, Cottonmouths, Rattlers, Coral Snakes, sharks with giant laser beams, and scorpions big enough to carry you off whole. Plus the chupacabra. Heck, we might even have Drop Bears for all I know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderowlands Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Here we have the Tax people. Impossible to irradicate. They bring a tear to the eye every 4th Friday throughout the year. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Ernie Glad I live on Long Island - way too dangerous living in the Lone Star State. But where we excel is in our world famous traffic, especially on the LIE and our bridges and tunnels heading into Manhattan . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d come from Carteret, NJ to visit friends in Islip, and it was a real roll of the dice 20 years ago. Can’t even imagine today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Ernie It's way worse and no way to fix it as everything on the Island goes east - west and into Queens and over the bridges. 🚗🚗🚗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you have LIRR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
