"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
PS - your wasp reaction doesn't sound very WASPy. It sounds more Irish Catholic. Your husband must be rubbing off on you, lol!
Right?? That's the thing - I'm pretty WASPy in general and will not discuss money, religion, or politics IRL, even with my friends. I used to be in the Junior League FFS.
But piss me off and watch out! My husband calls me The Assassin because I only look normal; if you cross me I *will* hurt you. On the upside, he's got solid Irish Catholic roots and is not at all bothered by my occasional flip out. LOL
lyss - your country club or mine?
Irish Catholics understand angry freak outs very well, lol. My Irish Catholic temper has been raging for around 48 hours. MH is very WASPy, so he doesn't quite get it. But he's smart and has a high self-preservation instinct, so he's staying out of my way and agreeing with me when I yell in his general direction.
they really are amazing little builders. It's a shame they're also horrible awful nogood stingy bastards.
side note - my backyard is infested with ground wasps (cicada killers). The good news is they don't really sting. The bad news is that they are HUGE and freak me the fuck out. Like, two inches long. The cicada killer name is because that's what they eat. We see them flying around carrying dead cicadas. Because they are fucking wasps big enough to carry a cicada like it's the damn space shuttle. It's ain't right.
Terminix is coming tomorrow. NOW GIMME BACK MY DAMN WASP CARD!
Only if you promise to be drinking a cocktail when Terminix arrives.
What's the official WASP cocktail? This I don't know. I'd say Mint Juliep but that's what fancy pants Southern Belles drink. I just drink Red Kool-Aid.

I don't really think there is a single official cocktail. IMO, it just needs to be classic. Even a glass of good wine will work. Just not something overly fruity and sweet. Martini = OK. Flirtini = not OK. Mint julep = OK. Jack and coke = not OK. Hemingway daquiri = OK. Frozen strawberry daquiri = not OK.
The proper WASP response to wasps is to CALL SOMEONE ELSE. Paying someone else to do my dirty work is one of my core beliefs.
So true, and this is precisely what i did when we discovered a giant swarm of africanized bees ("killer bees") in our front yard. I wrote that bee guy a $325 dollar check without even batting an eye!

Wasps are the damn devil. No one around us has screens, but us. They just let any old insect or animal in. It's not natural!
My H and his family insist on eating outside at family gatherings even when they are swarming. My daughter clearly shows she is half mine because she freaks the fuck out. I usually try to hold it in, but when she goes off, I figure I no longer need to be an example.
Then we suddenly become the two rogue Americans, running around screaming and yelling, "We're going inside!!!" or "KILL IT! KILL IT!!".
And so it always ends with DD and I sitting behind the glass, happily eating our food and thinking what dumbasses the rest of them are.

BUT does this mean you will have fewer cicadas to deal with in 9 years?? (that cicada infestation of 2004 was AWFUL. I have been dreading 2021 because of it.....every 17 years, right?)

in theory, yes. they also eat other bugs. so I let them live in an uneasy truce since our yard is a wreck anyway, but next year it's on. Though the dog enjoys playing chicken with them.
