I just watched a poetically beautiful insect suicide.

I'm eating Atkins ice cream out of the carton. The lid is upturned on my desk. A moth just flew right into the lid and started rolling around in the bits of chocolate that are on that side of the ice cream carton lid. It struggled a bit, and then was still.

Death by chocolate, indeed! What a way to go, eh? :D

No, I'm not putting the lid back on the carton. It's a very small carton, and was only half full when I sat down with it tonight, so I shall finish it. :9

1. It's a sign

That you were meant to finish the carton.

3. How magnanimous!

That moth gave his life that I might enjoy peanut-butter-chocolate-swirl with only 6 carbs.

2. it wasn't the ice cream that killed him

It was the Atkins diet. :evilgrin:

[southerngirlwriter]

4. Maybe. It might be bad for moths....

but it's great for me!! 42 pounds gone in 11 weeks!! :D :D :D :D

5. Well, it was beautiful for you, but you aren't the moth!

[wtmusic]

6. Only half full, eh?

The old moth-on-my-ice-cream-lid diversion won't cut it here! :crazy:

[southerngirlwriter]

7. LOL....seriously, it was!

A pint is 12 carbs. I eat half at one time; that's 6 carbs a day for dessert. I use the rest of my carbs up in veggies. Really!! :D

[southerngirlwriter]

8. A kick in the moth's memory!

Thank you for giving your life, dear moth, to illustrate the beauty of chocolate! Once you'd wriggled around in chocolate ice cream, you had nothing left to accomplish in life. You went out on a high note. Bless you!!

9. you win the award for most odd and intriguing post line

maybe you can get a short story out of it. :)

[southerngirlwriter]

10. Thanks!

I'm thinking I will. :-)

[tigereye]

11. you have the same link as someone else here

about "my least favorite, I can rant for hours, how much time do you have, please Democrats will you run someone who can beat him" Senator.
(I'm from Pa so...)

good for you! :hi:

[Whitacre D_WI]

12. Hey, I don't have that one anymore, tigereye.

I'm a Dio man now.

Anyway, I got the idea for the Santorum sigline from SGW.

[tigereye]

13. whoops I was going to say that the picture of the hideous one

had vanished and you are to be congratulated. I thought you still had the link... shows I was truly payin' attention. Esp. since I was complaining.( Actually I kind of got used to seeing him. Don't tell anyone.)


BTW Shut up and play yer guitar!

[Whitacre D_WI]

14. I can't. I'm at work.

And you should never make a Zappa reference when talking about my guitarrorism. It is blasphemy.

Make a Lydia Lunch reference, that is more apropos.

[tigereye]

16. probably unprintable

I know, you're at work. But since I can think of so few rock references ( and I really like Frank) I had to go with it. Plus it's a METAPHOR as well. :)

now I really have to get back to writing as I soon have to pick up the not so little one from school. He just turned 8 yesterday!

[Whitacre D_WI]

17. 8!

Well, I hope he had a happy birthday!

[tigereye]

18. yes he did

he got too much stuff, including a trickster kit with hand buzzer, snake in a can of nuts and scary teeth. Pretty funny. I can't believe he is 8. Now I have to worry about what kind of music he will like. Although since he has been exposed to Beefheart, Ramones, Frith, Eno, the Clash, etc, it is hard to say.

15. Check out the life cycle of the Mayfly...

Born as a larva in freshwater streams, where it seeks to feed while avoiding being fed upon. Emerges on the surface of stream, without mouthparts but with a singularity of purpose: to find a mate before dying from exhaustion. Mates with another mayfly, whence it dies upon the water's surface, becoming food for trout.

Rinse, repeat.
