The last time I was stung one of the devil spawn flew up my shorts as I was getting into my truck.

When I sat down and the shorts tightened he decided to sting me right between the legs on my thigh on the inner sweet meat.

Thank god he didn't sting a nut. I had to walk like a cowboy for 3 days.

I've been pickin my purple hulls and I've always noticed how wasps and yellow jackets love to get on the vine right where the pea is growing. Got to be real careful that I don't grab a guinea wasp or yellow jacket when I'm picking peas. I've been lit up a time or two in the past while pickin peas. Packsaddles love to hide in those pea vines, too. In the last couple of years, though, I found out that a poultice made from plantain and applied to the sting site really helps with the pain, itching, and discomfort. I didn't believe it at first, either, but I tried it and it works. That plantain poultice is good medicine for skeeter bites, too. And that plantain is abundant (at least it is up here) and it's free.

2 years ago we were at the deer camp and getting in bed. I leaned against the bed and there was one in the sheet and he popped me on the knee.

Imagine trying to fall asleep with your damn knee throbbing like that.

I use dial dish soap and water. It's makes their wings too heavy to fly and suffocates them. Nice slow death for those devil's spawn

When I was young (250 light years ago apparently) all the kids in the neighborhood would get together and throw rocks balls at big wasp nest two stories up until we knocked them down. Then we would all run and see who got bite the worst. There was always strategy of staying still, ducking behind bushes, running this way or that etc. I got stung right side of face once, that sucker homed in on me like a heat seeking missile. Before video games.

After all that, the worst I ever got stung was innocemtly walking through the woods in shorts and apparently I stepped on an underground nest and was stung over a dozen times. I just looked down and saw a ton of wasp on my legs before I felt shite.

We hate each other for sure. There is a moral in there somewhere.

Never really caught on as a kid. I can swim as far as a breath will carry me, but can't do the breathing thing. Think it's because I had asthma as a kid and got winded quickly. And I can't tread water for shite - I sink like a rock. Pisses me off when I see people tread water like they're a freaking fish, and I can't stay afloat for 30 seconds.

Light years are a unit of measurement for distance not time
The more you know
