Why are there still these damn ladybugs in my house? I sweep, I vacuum...and half an hour later, I find one solitary b*stard crawling along my kitchen window. I hate these bugs. I don't care how many stinking aphids they eat. From now on, I'm going to capture them alive, accuse them of heinous crimes, convict them in front of a tribunal of spiders from the laundry room, and execute them. I'm going to leave their dead bodies speared on toothpicks which will be strategically placed around the front windows.
Why do weather forcasters continue to predict 9 inches of snow and deliver 2? (Sexual innuendo joke deleted)
What happened to Rodger?
I had several more, but they have been driven out of my head by hearing The Governor wail, "Watch Jedi Knights! Watch Jedi Knights!" Appalling.

Today was nursing home Tuesday. Had to drive through nine two inches of snow to get there. We were in Beatrice's room, and Mattie from down the hall comes in and asks Beatrice if she's going on the dining out/view holiday lights evening that is planned for Thursday.
Beatrice: No. I don't need to eat out again. I'm going to gain too much weight.Hoocher looked up at me, and I winced. Brutal.Mattie: Well I've lost two pounds!
Beatrice: Well you can't tell. That's how bad it is.

I skipped my soccer game last night because nine inches of snow was going to come down by the time I would have been driving home. B*stards.

More tomorrow if my mood improves and a blizzard arrives to save the local weathercasters from a severe beating.
So what's the problem with ladybugs? They're harmless (to us), attractive (in a sort of Volkswagenish way), and might help your indoor plants through the winter.
I thought "Why do weather forcasters continue to predict 9 inches of snow and deliver 2?" was the naughty joke. Now you've got me curious about the excision.
I'd still recommend a severe beating to any weather forecaster you can lay hands on - blizzard or no. I still think they should be paid in proportion to their accuracy.

Are you sure they are ladybugs and nost those nasty orange beetles? We had an infestation of the beetles which could only be cured using a Shop Vac and deadly aim. Horrible little bastards masquerading as cutesy little ladybugs.
Yep, Andy, it's those Japanese beetles - the mock ladybugs. I was too lazy to type it.
