I LOVE to kill flies. I miss them old Shell No Pest Strips … youd hang one up and not see an insect for months. I guess they used DDT. Kickstarter and the rest have become totally corrupt and I suspect wont be around much longer. It’s like drug dealers taking front money for drugs to be delivered at some future date… Do the art, then someone will maybe pay for it. This whole idea of ‘artists’ becoming wealthy is a new and flawed concept, anyhow. When successful people like R Kelly milk funds from their fans to produce new product – pathetic. On our scale, It’s ‘friend’ blackmail at its worse.

i like the old pump action foggers, or maybe they were dusters. they looked like a caulk gun, but you kept the pump action part and filled up the little can on the bottom with poison, you could shoot the little bugs right out of the sky. Chasing them around the house running through clouds of poison. fun.

We would lure the flies to their deaths by opening the blinds. They would think they’d found their passage to freedom but instead they’d get walloped by rolled up junk mail.
And, am I right in thinking Frank will put out an episode where he went to Flushing?
