ANTS!

Just had a bajillion of them all up in my personal space. I'm a very clean individual, not on an OCD level, but certainly obsessively. I color coordinate my closet & all that sh*t. Neatness matters to me. The one area of my room that is a clusterf*ck, the "entertainment center", if you will, is where these Godless bastards struck. Where I have a rat king of wires nested behind the televsion & my gaming consoles, that's where they are/were. Crawling all over/in & out of my Wii U, up the wires to my stereo, you name it. & for nothing! I have no crumbs here, you worthless creatures!

I hate that they can support so much weight with their bodies, that I, a 300lb, 6'3 man of towering stature, can't kill them with all my might. They bounce back up. It's like watching Godzilla struggle over Tokyo, it just ain't right!

& of course, the insect spray tank thingy had about 4 spurts in it before depletion, so I won't know until morning if these spawns of Satan will reappear.

*zkarlette* · 06-20-2015, 02:17 AM

A couple of times ants decided to come in the house I managed to get rid of them in unconventional ways. The first time I vacuumed them all and they decided to not come back. The second time and this was in my current home, I killed several of them and left the remains there for a day (sounds disgusting I know) but it seems like the other ants didn't like this or felt threatened so they left for good.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-20-2015, 02:27 AM

Actually, that was a very good idea. Ants follow pheromone trails left by the scouts, and when you kill some of the ants, they leave a new trail that basically says "Danger- avoid this area". They usually won't come back when they discover the bodies of their fellow nest-mates.

I've read about some ants supposedly are attracted to electronics but never really heard of it happening. They're not so called "crazy ants" are they? They'll supposedly short out electronics if there's enough gathered together.

On the topic of ants, was just realizing this afternoon that our usual ants that turn up in the bathroom for a while each spring didn't do their usual thing this year. For once in a long time I haven't seen any show up in the house.

This 100%. The warm weather and rain has driven them into my freakin' house...EVERY room is covered; traps and sprays are ineffective. If I were to encounter mutagen, I'd totally be Anthrax.

*Mayhem* · 06-20-2015, 03:42 AM

So you'd welcome random envelopes with white powder in them Jester?!

Sorry to hear about that Leo, must be rather weird to know and mourn someone who's featured in news reports. Happened to me a long time ago, a kid from our school got hit by a train while playing around on the tracks.

*IndigoErth* · 06-20-2015, 04:09 AM

Agree on the sad weirdness of that.

In middle school my bus driver took off of work one day to go somewhere with her friend, her infant son and her friend's son. Found out through an article that she wouldn't be back and why. She was a nice bus driver, too. I've always had that thought, if only she hadn't taken off that day.

You just never know when someone's number is up.

I feel bad for the kids who lose a parent that tragically soon, like Leo I think that article said your friend/client has a young child? I hope his mom keeps a good presence of him around... Can't imagine what that would have to be like growing up with very little memory.

~~Leo656~~ · 06-20-2015, 04:44 PM

People who incessantly PM me crying and insulting me because I gave them a public spanking.

The little spunk rag who got the Movie Section locked keeps sending me and other people PMs, whining and name-calling.

He actually sent me TWO within minutes of each other, one said something like "You realize you admit you're a sh*tty person," or something, and then immediately a SEPARATE one that just said, "You do realize that right".

I'mma go have a sandwich and maybe f*** my wife. If I come back to a bunch more PMs I'm gonna go ahead, break the rules, take the law into my own hands, and post the entire thing so we can all share a good laugh. Like me and GK used to do to the little crybabies back in the old days. Been a while since this place had a good and proper public lynching, I'd say.

EDIT: HE JUST SENT ME ANOTHER ONE!

Hoooooly SH*T man, these kids are bananas.

~~Leo656~~ · 06-20-2015, 04:59 PM

So since little j*zz rags don't take direction, I submit for your approval:

(I'm in Bold)

Spoiler:

You
You really try hard to act cool to everyone out there. But you really are douche. I never "threatened" to brain you, but the way you act, it's hard for someone to not want to do bodily harm with you. You're a jerk. Plain and simple.

Grow the **** up, sometime

--------------
Brother, you come into a place that you've already identified as "Hostile". You start telling people who've been getting along just fine without you, thanks, for many many MANY years now, how they "should" act/discuss/behave, because YOU find it unpleasant. Then, when people point out that first, you're nobody's Dad, and secondly, that people can comment however the hell they please, YOU start with the push-back. No, I didn't take your "threat" seriously, but it exposes which of us is the "jerk" or the "douche", and frankly, the Mods don't care, they hate sh*t like that. You're not gonna be here much longer, and you did it to yourself. Because the whole party didn't turn sunny when you demanded it.

You been here five minutes, guy, you ain't telling anybody how to talk. You could've just let it go, accepted that you're not the Thought Police, and accepted that you pissed people off, ignored the "negativity" and carried on with your life, and we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Instead, you got combative in a place where you're outnumbered. Slick move, genius.

For what it's worth, I agree, there's bigger problems in the world than how terrible these sh*tty movies are. On that, we agree. But this is a place where people talk, debate, and bitch, because it's fun. The ones who've been here forever don't all agree, on pretty much anything, but they get along fine because they have the maturity that you apparently lack, the ability to take a poke and not get so goddamn defensive. It's YOU who has to grow up, son. People aren't going to like what you like just because "It's not that bad and there's worse things". Don't come in here and act like you're "enlightening" anyone. If you don't like the atmosphere, there are much better places for you to be than The Technodrome. You could just as easily go on the movie's FB page and crow all day long about how much you love the movie. People there will care. People here Do Not.

You came in and told everyone they were assholes for not liking what you like. They collectively told you to take a leap. You got all huffy, and here we are. And I'm such an asshole, I'm giving you a calm and rational, snark-free reply that you really don't deserve, that explains in simple cause-and-effect terms how we got to this point, so that in the future, you can take steps to correct your attitude, and be a better person, while avoiding conflicts such as these.

Come see me when you've done your homework and improved your attitude and social skills. But try to do it quick, because while I personally didn't, and won't, report you to the Mods (unless you continue to act out), I know for a fact that others have, so you're on borrowed time. In their terms, what you said was a threat. So, wherever you end up, try and watch your mouth, in the future.

Nice job PMing half the forum to call them names, by the way. "Grow up", indeed. Good luck, skip.
-----------------------
That's cute, did you rehearse that before you wrote it?

I didn't attack anyone, I didn't call anyone names, I didn't claim to be the though police. I just expressed my annoyance and you ****ers came it me. If you can't see that, then you blind. Or delusional. Or both.

And half the forum? I didn't realize you and that Bry clown made up half of the forum. Nice exaggeration, dingus.

Look, bottom line, you're still a dick. Sorry this is the first you've been called on it. Just because the mods don't care, it doesn't make it right.

Do you're homework? You sound like an asshole. But that's to be expected from a dude with a Kevin Nash avatar.

----------------------------
You're six years old, I'm not doing this with you anymore. You got the movie section locked. Congratulations, "Dick". You don't wanna take my advice? Then go f*ck yourself. I tried.

And people TRY to "call me" on it, all the time. Doesn't work. Because they're f*cking retards, and everyone can see it, that's why they get in trouble and get banned. I'm not the problem, I just tell it like it is. Little children like you are the problem. And nobody came at you, you came in all huffy and they told you to knock it off. Aaaaand here we are.

Have fun on the Nick boards. I'm sure making a joke about someone's avatar is worth, like, a thousand gold or something over there. You ought'a really be a big hit with the other kids at the cesspool.
-----------------------
You just admitted you're a ****** person. You realize that, right?

You do realize that, right?

That you're ****

----------------------
Hmmmm. No. No, I don't. And I'm pretty sure nobody else does, either. I'm a sh*tty person by explaining to you how YOU need to improve. I'll say once again: You don't come into someone else's house, yell at everybody to shut up, and then pitch a fit when they tell you to get lost.

You said in the thread you were leaving. So now we know you're both a twat and a liar besides. Good. I like to know exactly who I'm dealing with. I was being polite so far, but now that it's been confirmed as a waste of time, I'll be sure not to waste any more effort. But it WOULD be polite of YOU to leave before the Mods have to waste the effort to force you.

I'm heading out for a while, so don't waste any of your "precious" time talking to thin air. I didn't ask for this reply... nor the one before that... or the message before THAT. Your job, since it isn't clear, is to speak only when spoken to. We know you suck at taking direction, but I'll be clear so you don't waste either of our time any further: I'm going out, don't f*cking litter up my inbox in the meantime. You've said your piece, and I. Don't. Care.

-------------------------
I think you do. Otherwise you wouldn't have replied.

The road to healing can start today, if you let it.

----------------------
Thanks Dad.

-----------------------
Anytime son. You're a disappointment, but that's why pencils have erasers.

--------------------------
Thank God you're still here, walking around, talking, showing the whole world why we absolutely need to have abortion remain an option, and that in some cases, we should force it.

In all seriousness, though, I know you're autistic but go bug someone else. There's people out there who get paid a lot of money to work with retards, but that's not my field. I have neither the time nor the patience. Goodbye.

---------------------------

I think that went well, so far.

*Cure* · 06-20-2015, 05:29 PM

That section getting closed was a group effort.

*Bry* · 06-20-2015, 05:49 PM

...yet it was mostly trucking along fine until that one person decided to stomp in to insult and threaten people.

*Cure* · 06-20-2015, 05:58 PM

Then those threads would be closed, not an entire section. The mods aren't dumb.

*Bry* · 06-20-2015, 06:09 PM

I'd never suggest they are. That whole forum has a long history of problems, so I assume they're quicker to close it at a major sign of trouble than they would any other section. It's been mostly peaceful...ish for a while, though, I thought? Not perfect by any stretch, but much better than the constant flame wars from nine months ago. But if anything was the clincher in this case, it was prooobably the guy threatening to "brain" someone with a crowbar.

People who go out of their way to pick fights, then cry and act like a victim when the other side hits back? Yeah, that'll grind some gears.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-20-2015, 06:12 PM

Damn, Leo, that guy is messed up. But sadly this is going to happen when people who love the movies get butthurt over the rest of us not liking them or what's going to be in them. It's amazing how no one's allowed to have an opinion anymore either positive or negative. Just sad.

As for ants, we used to get them in our kitchen a lot. Once they were coming through the wall behind the microwave. We got some Terro and just killed those f*ckers. It was great. Not sure if they'll show up this year, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled.

My gear grinder: Looks like it's going to rain and my dad's being an a**hole again, but what else is new?

*IndigoErth* · 06-20-2015, 07:02 PM

Beh, hadn't realized it was locked again, thought it was just slow because it's the weekend and maybe not much to say. Should have known better.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 06-20-2015, 07:56 PM

Yep... Still hate the heat. If I had a pool I'd be in it all day, but then my hands will get all wrinkly... Hmm don't want that.

F*** this heat.

*plastroncafe* · 06-20-2015, 09:18 PM

Just had exterminators come this past week to deal our carpenter ant problem. Normally I'm a live-and-let-live kinda gal, but...not when I'm living in a 100+ year old wooden structure.

Damn shame about the movie section.
(Though I'd be lying if I wasn't proud about the fact that I had absolutely nothing to do with it this time.)

*Metalwolf* · 06-20-2015, 10:45 PM

Had three ants nests earlier this spring. One was in the bathroom under the floor tiles, another was in a corner of the living room wall near the computer, and the last was in the kitchen under the dish washer. The apartment is old and about half underground, plus the whole complex is next to a swamp. All things ants love, plus bats and squirrels on occasion.

For the bats, we one time had to get the local police over for some good ol' fashioned bat wrastlin,' (it was stuck in a neighbor's sliding screen door) and two whole cop cars came over. I guess nothing really exciting goes on down at the station, so an extra cop or two came to watch.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 06-20-2015, 10:58 PM

I don't think we ever had an ant problem, seeing as quite a few of y'all are talking about them. I think one time we had an unnecessary amount of moths flying in and around.

Sometimes I'd catch one and bring it to my brother. Even though he's scared of them.

Cold Rags help, just get a wet rag and lay with a fan blowing on it. Cold drinks help. Get an ice pack and wrap it with a rag and cuddle it. Not sure what else might help you out.

That whole forum has a long history of problems, so I assume they're quicker to close it at a major sign of trouble than they would any other section. It's been mostly peaceful...ish for a while, though, I thought? Not perfect by any stretch, but much better than the constant flame wars from nine months ago. But if anything was the clincher in this case, it was prooobably the guy threatening to "brain" someone with a crowbar. People who go out of their way to pick fights, then cry and act like a victim when the other side hits back? Yeah, that'll grind some gears. __________________ My Stuff: Webcomic \| Podcast \| DeviantArt \| YouTube \| Patreon

But sadly this is going to happen when people who love the movies get butthurt over the rest of us not liking them or what's going to be in them. It's amazing how no one's allowed to have an opinion anymore either positive or negative. Just sad. As for ants, we used to get them in our kitchen a lot. Once they were coming through the wall behind the microwave. We got some Terro and just killed those fckers. It was great. Not sure if they'll show up this year, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled.

One was in the bathroom under the floor tiles, another was in a corner of the living room wall near the computer, and the last was in the kitchen under the dish washer. The apartment is old and about half underground, plus the whole complex is next to a swamp. All things ants love, plus bats and squirrels on occasion. For the bats, we one time had to get the local police over for some good ol' fashioned bat wrastlin,' (it was stuck in a neighbor's sliding screen door) and two whole cop cars came over. I guess nothing really exciting goes on down at the station, so an extra cop or two came to watch.

I think one time we had an unnecessary amount of moths flying in and around. Sometimes I'd catch one and bring it to my brother. Even though he's scared of them.
