Another Tub for 99

Agent 99 has become the victim of KAOS. They sneaked in at mid-day while she was sleeping and purloined the over sized claw foot tub from her front porch. The very tub I requisitioned from CONTROL for her last year.
It seems she has now taken to having to cleanse in a feline manner so once again an order has been placed for delivery of one massive claw foot tub. Included will be 15 yards of cement to anchor it to the ground so hopefully it will remain in place. Quick-ship fees have been waived. And of course the obligatory barrel of brandy!

Commenting Gone Wiggy

HALOSCAN, the commenting utility here at the Lair, has been having fits lately.

Perhaps it's due to an overwhelming number of people commenting across the internet on the happenings of this last week. Flooding HaloScan servers until they can't keep up.

Anyway, if the comment button is gone, if you get a white page after you comment, or get that dreaded "You've already said that" error message, just remember "You're posting too fast. Please allow fifteen (15) more seconds."

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes!

Thursday evening I raised the top of our camping trailer trailer to go inside and take inventory of things we would need on our yearly extended family camp-out.

I got it about 2' up when out came a swarm of wasps. They sent me running, chasing me around the trailer and across the yard.

One got in my hair and when I went to swat it away I also swatted my glasses off my face and into the blurry unknown.

About half an hour later, having finally found my glasses, I used a jet nozzle on the hose to blast the two hives I saw out of the trailer.
I figured I'd let them dissipate over night and finish my job in the morning.

Friday morning, having languished much too long in the tub, I decided to wait until after work since I was leaving at noon and there would still be time before Rin got home.

I went out at after work to find a horde of wasps working hard to restore my destruction, plus a new batch I hadn't seen swarming out of the end of the awning enclosure.

Due to the trailer being parked along a wooden fence I didn't have room to run away after opening the awning cover so I decided it would be best to take the trailer out front on the street.

I had to almost kneel down to stay below their flight paths as I jacked up the trailer and hitched it to my truck.

Once out front I dropped the awning cover and ran like hell as about 200 or so wasps came swarming out.

After knocking 3 more hives out I was able to do my survey and then close the trailer up.

As we drove away the wasps were already trying to reestablish.




Returning from our camping trip, as I was unhitching the trailer, the wasps were already beginning to swarm back into the awning cover.
Sheesh!

Anybody have an idea for a natural wasp repellent?

I hate to use poison spray, but this wasp thing has to stop!

California State Senator Kuehl has made sure we can all appreciate just how dedicated Michael Moore is to us. I implore you, click on his picture here. It will take you to Senator Kuehl's YouTube page, where you can watch and hear him address our state government on Universal Health Care. Please. Wherever you are, you can't ignore this.

Can we please have our country back now?

Special CONTROL Requisition

by Bluebear2



While fighting the agents of KAOS our mighty Agent 99 has become tubless. The situation has become desperate as she no longer has a place to foment her plans for world peace and harmony.

Therefore I have forwarded an Emergency Requisition Order for one tub to be delivered immediately to her place of choice.

Also included will be a cone of silence with bark arrestor and a fresh barrel of brandy.
