That went pretty well, but not what I was looking for. Home, and swapping out to sandals. Ugh. Pod doesn't like covers on his root-system.

Landlord just took my A/C unit, and will be returning with it, or a replacement shortly. He'd better boogie, I have to get off to work.



Giant grasshoppers rampage in Florida. Experts advise hitting them with a 2 x 4.

I've never encountered them, however I would like to see what a grasshopper sneer looks like.

I’m tired of pushing the man down the stairs, but I'm going to hang onto the program.

superheroic manatees, or giant grasshoppers?

or landlords?

Manatees. They are so wonderful : (

Yup... I'm fortunate enough to be able to see them occasionally in the canals near my apartment. :)

They want hugs! big, squishy hugs!

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

They DO want hugs. I hope the ones you see are happy.

they seem happy... mostly just takin' it slow, floating along, having some seagrass to chew on.

it makes me smile when I see 'em.

IT'S A SUPER-MANATEEEEEEEE!
omg!

i love manatees so much, but i think you already knew that.

i wanna hug him!!


killing grasshoppers with a 2x4 -- eek!
keep your king sized bugs down there!

He wants hundreds of hugs!

I think a stuffed manatee plush toy would be a great huggo-pillow.

I think I'd prefer a baseball bat to a 2x4.

arh! giant land lubbers, me harties! *imitates poor pirate accent*


so are the large black grasshoppers the same species? because I noticed the range of the lubber does include this part of alabama, but the only ones I see are black. likewise, the ones I disected in biology were black too. (with the orange stripes of course.)

I see several black ones at the park where I walk. I've noticed more of them this year too. I dont' step on them though. I bet they are powerfully crunchy.

aww... I hope you have big birds that'll eat 'em!

Oooo... I love that picture! I didn't realize they had telephone booths that size though.

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It's from b3ta... they do great photomanips.

The phone-booths in Atlantis are much larger.

i always thought they were locust's.......

Be advised, however, that catching and holding them down can be stinky, tricky and often gross. The lubbers tend to resist the procedure.

i think a tennis racquet
would be my weapon of choice........and if i was really bored a bb gun!

Re: i always thought they were locust's.......

oh, nice... a tennis racquet's non-lethal, but gets them out of your way!
