Mosquitos!!!!!!

fonzo179 · 06-20-2013, 12:24 PM

So, Tuesday I head to the grocery store for some yummy, delicious food. It's about 81 degrees outside, and I'm thinking "Wow, such warm weather for Fargo. This summer is great!"

I cruise down the street, windows down, waving at every nice car I pass by, just feeling good. I pull into the apartment parking lot, hop out the Z with about 5 neighbors watching me, keep the car running, open the trunk, and pull out bags.

2 mosquitos near the taillights I think "No problem." 10 seconds later.....Them Skeeters Started Bitin'! Probably about 50 swarming critters sent me flying into my apartment building, car doors open, engine running, dignity long lost.

City officials ended up sending in low-flying duster planes to spray the town, as mosquito problems became pretty severe for everyone.

Just wondering how the mosquitos are in your area?

I thought the bats ate them all in Austin.

Both my parents are from Houston, and my grandmother is from Anahuac. I've felt the bite of the Texas-sized (tractor-sized more like it

) mosquitos - Ouch!

Every time I wash my car. It's like I'm holding up an all you can eat buffet sign for them. I've solved this by using an ordinary fan while I detail. I hate these f*ckers.

SoCal has no water = no mosquitos. The few man made lakes in the area are stocked with fish to control mosquitos. Very rarely do you encounter them here.

Mosquito = Arkansas State Bird.

There's a skeeter on my peter. Whack it off.
There's another on my brother. Whack it off.
There's a dozen on my cousin.
Can't you hear those suckers buzzin'?

I'm 27. Since I've been young (about 6yrs old), I have had a serious rivalry with the little, winged demon.

Yeah, I thank god, for the most part mosquitos don't like me. I average 20 bites a year. My wife is a different story. she'll get 20 bites in a week sometimes. I fight with her cuz they bite her all day and she keeps forgetting to use repellent.

DFW is not the place to be irresponsible with repellent.
