Insect Repellent
What if you spray Off right on a bug? Is it filled with self-loathing?
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
They're usually filled with green blood. It's green because oxygen is carried in their systems by copper, as contrasted with the red blood (iron) in mammels.
ReplyDeleteSo, are they even greener if you spray them with Off?
ReplyDeleteThe kamikazebugs who are trying to stop my car are always spewing red blood as they splat against the windscreen, tho...

That's OK, I'm a different Gene Callahan.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about kamakazi bugs, but I did run into a lot of love bugs today in east Tampa Bay. I don't think their white funk is copper based, but what do I know?
ReplyDeleteWon't hurt it unless by drowning. Repellent action of OFF! is due to DEET (n,n diethylmetatoluamide)which the critters are reluctant to get on their feet. Color: pale yellow, almost colorless. I've had a spot in my heart for the stuff over 30 years--since a friend and I bought (from the gov't.) 503,189 of the 6-oz. spray cans for recovery of the 75% DEET. Nice piece of change in those days.
