Humming Birds
Category None
They claim they have have humming birds up here in New Hampshire, but I think they're mistaken and they're bloody huge mosquitos. I went fishing last night in a new spot, where I was the mosquito's evening buffet. Even covering myself with a can of DEET the buggers still manage to eat me. I think something has happened to the mosquitos up here, attacked by gamma rays or something, the last place I saw with Mosquitos this big was Nebraska. These buggers are huge, I swear after they've sat my arm for a few seconds they have trouble taking off they drank so much. So for anybody buying the humming bird feeders and looking at the cute little birds, don't be fooled, they're just mutated mosquitos.
Talking of bird feeders, I have one on my kitchen window, it is emptied regularly, and I re-fill it once a week, but I am yet to see a bird eating from it. I have no idea when the little guys are eating the food but I never see them, I've even got up early to see if they are eating then, but no sign of them. I think I might have to hook up a webcam to catch them at it.

If that doesn't work, your only other option is to make yourself more bitter. Works for me. Everything leaves me alone.
Stop drinking those foofy sweet alcoholic drinks and start drinking really cheap beer. Say phrases like "the world's going to hell in a handbasket" more often. Or, better yet, look at someone and say "and the horse you rode in on".
Skeeters will leave you alone more often.
