Animals you HATE

I love animals, but there are a few I absolutely HATE and LOATHE

Wasps and Yellowjackets for starters...

And Possums run a close second

Don't hate them, but I really dislike them.

HATE them. They are among the creepiest things on earth.

If I see one, I won't go back down there for a week! I love spring but thats when the centipedes start coming back

But I'm allergic.

Cantstanzem!

So. Cal house. Open a door for a second and they scurry inside. They all look like Wolfowitz.

Nuke em' till they glow

and those stupid yap dogs!

Seriously, I ***HATE*** wasps. Even watching a documentary about them on TV or something will freak me out. I HATE them.



Even posting that pic freaks me out.

Damn that pic bothers me...

You like rodents better? In place where they have those hideous rattler roundups, they end up with more disease because they killed the rodent predators.

Snakes are gorgeous, shy, beneficial creatures. I have two pet corn snakes, and you couldn't meet a nicer animal. They're called corn snakes because they used to be found in corn cribs where they went to hunt the vermin that eat the corn.

Any flying, stinging thing scares the bejeezus outta me. That's more fear than hate, though, really.

Cockroaches, though... I truly do HATE those things.

I think I'm pretty tough around scary little insects, but cockroaches are a whole 'nother arena. I once saw one in my grandparent's kitchen when I was like 10, and evertime I'm visiting to this day I still freak out if I need to go in there in the dark. ewww.

-- certain advanced functions,but generally speaking, they're smelly and obnoxious.

well, not all chimps, just that one... :-)

:P

Rotten little plant killers. Slimy, trail-leaving, herbicidal bastards. Filthy, nasty, horrid creatures.

rats.

It was a common torture in ancient China...

Have you memorized all of the quotes or are you pulling them from somewhere?

Actually the 1984 and Animal Farm stuff I have memorized. I try to read both at least once a year.

I also have a lot of segments of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings memorized too.

I have kinda a weird memory that way. I also listen to a lot of audio-books (long commute) so I can expose myself things repeatedly, and I like the language of well written stuff.

:) Anyway, I'll continue to taunt you with 1984 stuff for a while.

how can millions be wrong and one be right?

something like that.

Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two make four.

david

Gah, I'm so disappointed that I couldn't remember it.

Feh!

Absolutely loathesome creatures.

Snakes eat mice and rats. Lovely creatures, snakes.

:hi: Bunny

But I should probably just get a cat, though. Lord knows my two dogs are useless when it comes to hunting the little varmints!

:hi: wryter, how are you doing??

If you have a dog or cat, it would probably just scare the snake. Cats and snakes really don't mix. I've heard of cats scratching through the cage screen, and the next thing, you have a dead snake. Or if you're lucky, the snake just escapes.

Didja know Mic G. has reunited the original horn section for an album called "Ear Candy"? Pictures available at http://www.micgillette.com/earcandy.php

What I want to know is when did those guys get so danged old?

Edit: trust me to misspell Gillette

How cool! I don't know how they got so old, when we've stayed so young! ;)

I am horribly afraid of them.

every day at sunrise. Gooble my ass you demon birds.

I hate snakes. HATE them. They move, but they have no legs. It's not natural.

Worse than Indie ever did. They all need to die. Right now.

'cuz we'll be ankle deep in them.

can't stand them, they give me the creeps.

I remember when Mary Lou said she wanted to walk me home from school
Well I said yes I do
She said I don't have to go right home
And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would
I said me too
And so we took a stroll and wound up down by the swimming hole
And she said do what you want to do
Got silly and found a frog in the water by the hollow log
And I shook it at her and I said this frog's for you, she said

I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you

Well I took out that girl from time to time, I called her up when I got a dime
I said hello baby, she said ain't you cool
Said do you remember when, and would you like to get together again
She said I'll see you after school
I was so shy and so for awhile most of my love was touch and smile
So she said come on over here, I was nervous I guess
Still looking for something to slip down her dress
And she said let's make it perfectly clear

I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you

Especially the ones that poop on my car right after I wax it!

small lap dogs

... I have a mobile home in the country I visit some weekends. The yellow jackets and dirt dobbers just love it. They climb though tiny cracks in the fascia joints and build nests in there.

This last weekend was very warm, so gazillions of wasps hatched out. They buzz all around and are generally a nuisance. I was drifing off to sleep Fri night, when I heard a buzz in my ear. I jumped up and the little #$%#$% stung me on the leg. Have I mentioned I hate these damn things?

I have gone at them with a flyswatter before and killed about 100. But this time there were toooooo many, so I got some spray cans.

I got up early while it was cold. They really can't move much when it's below about 45 degrees. I sprayed into every crack I could find.

I'm sure I didn't all of them, but I'm nothing if not persistent :) I'll get 'em.

lol

:shrug:

Wasps, and wriggly red centipedes.

But they are using the wrong argument. Big blacks spiders, wasps and wriggly red centipedes are all the proof anyone needs that evolution is 100% pure evil !!

I have little use for rodents and, I'm sorry to say, because of the way they invade my territory, less and less use for cats.

Slugs are getting on my list as well if they don't watch it.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

the rats of the sky!

Growing up, we had bats fly in our house all the time during the summer. They're just a nuisance. They did wonders for the garden, though, since they ate all the bugs and their guano makes a killer fertilizer.

Always trying to fill your house with acorns and shit.
