6. THINK of the numbers of mosquitos trapped by that thing!
Too bad we can't train spiders to do that all over the tropics.

7. The spiders eat mosquitoes.
Besides, maybe the webs will catch a few politicos who've been screwing up America. ;-)

Spider Island. Arachnid. Empire of the Spiders.

16. My father used to take me fishing there... in Lake Tawokoni.
There are trees and tee stumps all over that lake, and you have to maneuver your boat around them.

I wondered why he always brought a handgun with us... until the snakes started dropping from the trees into the boat.

Glad we always had the gun with us.

18. Sure.
There's no safer way to dispatch a snake at the bottom of a boat then by shooting a gun at it.

Damn that was a funny show!

Remember, if you can't do it with duct tape, it's not worth doing!

23. Yeah.
Somehow shooting at snakes at the bottom of boats strikes me as the sort of thing that would happen over at Possum Lodge.

27. My father never had a single problem with a missed shot.
Fishing pole. Lifting snake at a distance.
Bang.
Fling over the side.

17. Bag worms (tent worms)?
Bag worms (tent worms)?

Those little critters are placed on the same list as mosquitoes, the Bay City Rollers, the Matrix movies, and shrink wrap

(If anyone's wondering, the list is called: Obvious Effects of the Decline of Civilization)
