My dad's birthday was today, so I got him a few Blu-rays: Dakota and Hellfighters with John Wayne, and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood. His two favorite actors.

I am pretty sure I am fatger. That is gaining extra pounds from too many cheeseburgers, no?


My last gift(s) was for my 40th birthday back on the 1st. My wife took the kids shopping, and they filled a big gift bag with 40 of "dad's" favorite things. From headphones, to toothpicks, gum, framed pics of the kids, sunflower seeds, different usb cords, a whoopie cushion, air horn, laser pointer... all kinds of little things. It was really cool, and the kids had a blast seeing what I would pull out next.

TERRO® Liquid Ant Baits - 6 Pack for $4.79




Man! I put the baits down around the kitchen area on the floor and on the countertop last night about midnight.

I left for 40 min, came back and it was like a wild ant orgy at each bait station.

A few hours later there was only a couple of stragglers here and there and today no more ants.

Summer time, it's hot outside, them damn sugar ants are in the house looking for food and water.

Each one is about the size of a spec of dust, you can barely see them on the floor or on the countertops with your naked eyes if they don't move - even when they do move they move real real slow and you can barely see them.

Here's a couple of funny reviews of these ant baits on Amazon:

I Googled "Best Ant Bait" and the first thing it pulled up was this product page for the Terro (which is only one "r" short of Terror--coincidence? I think not). I only needed to read a few of the reviews and I was convinced. I grabbed a box from a local hardware store (sorry, Amazon, even with Prime shipping, my problem was far too vexing to wait even one more hour), set them in all the strategic rendezvous points. Then I waited. It took a couple hours. And then the purge began . . .

I've used other ant baits before to limited success. Most just don't do a very good job at attracting the critters. It's like they're hip to the Raid jive. But the other reviews about this product do not lie. Never in my life have I seen the crack frenzy that soon began, when literally hundreds of ants started pouring into these traps. I could see them writhing around in orgasmic euphoria. I could hear them laughing and clinking their glasses and making awkward late night sexual propositions with complete strangers. It would be like if a giant chocolate cheesecake had fallen out of the sky right in front of me. I would probably act similarly, rolling around in it, gorging myself silly, completely unaware that God decided to save himself the trouble of flooding the planet to wipe out the human vermin and instead decided to rain down poison disguised as dessert. Noah 2.0, I am not.

Admittedly, I do feel a bit like God right now. It's been fun watching this microcosm of the apocalypse unfold with an aloof Mona Lisa grin on my face. I am a terrible God, but I am benevolent. These creatures died thinking they were having the best day of their lives, and that's better than most of us get in this crazy world.

Thank you, Terro. You are now my #1 choice for ant genocide.

UPDATE: 24 hours later -- Only a few stragglers remain. They're staggering around helplessly, their bodies undoubtedly full of their dead, poisoned comrades. The bait traps that were once full of ants are now empty. I don't care to imagine what happened to all of them, but since I'm a writer, I probably will. I saw a few ants in my downstairs bathroom and set one of the traps in there. A few ants became a few hundred. More death throes are commencing. LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR!

My story is a sad tale to tell. For weeks I had been battling these fire ants that seemed to invade my room. At the beginning they were just inside my closet. Slowly but surely, they continued their onslaught and invaded my dirty laundry basket... and finally, my bed. I got bit quite ferociously by these demonic ants. I asked my apartment complex to spray. They did... It did not work. The ants now went into the kitchen and up to my brother's room. That is when I said ENOUGH. I went to the only place I could get help. AMAZON DOT COM! I found the reviews of this product quite interesting and decided I would give it a go. I couldn't wait, so I even paid for the $4 one day shipping even though I have Amazon Prime. Surely enough, the next day, trumpets sounded, angels came down from heaven while light shined on my package of hope and wonder.

I got my Terro Liquid Ant baits and placed them on ant trails... Grabbed a bag of chips, and set my watch while I committed my crime. After a couple minutes, I saw one ant come in and start sucking at the drops. I laughed maniacally while enjoying my evil doing. After about 30 minutes, they were all over the bait. Then I set 4 more all over my apartment... I saw the difference right away! The ants were disappearing! I was so happy... until it hit me... I had just committed genocide against this poor colony of ants. I found that I missed their company at night on my bed, their company when I cooked, did a #2, dressed up, etc... I couldn't believe I had just killed them all. I kept picturing them eating happily, then having a stomach ache, then feeling their insides turn inside out and slowly die. All of those poor tiny creatures, gone! Soon, the atrocity of my crime was too much on my shoulders. Alcohol was my salvation, one drink turned into one bottle, then bottles, then just plain pain! My life has never been the same afterwards.... Anyways, going back to the review of this product. If you are looking to wreck havoc, mayhem, pain and misery on a colony on ants, then this product will work great for you! It might work too well...

Got this off Amazon for $8 including shipping.

One of those many TV series that should never had been cancelled before it had a chance to prove its worth.

It was cancelled after 4 of its initial 6 episodes were aired.

Blood & Chrome... Excellent choice of gift. Didn't realize it was out on Blu-Ray. Must have!

The bride of Sulaco got me the hardcover art book 'Art of Alien: Covenant'. Fanatastic! She gives great book... over the years she's gotten me the Art of District 9, Elysium and Sirens by Marco Glaviano. A must have for any supermodel fan.

New shoes ordered from Amazon arrived today. I've been wearing this brand and model for years (most comfortable footwear I ever wore, bar none) and time had come to get a replacement pair since my old pair was beginning to fall apart:
