      That's what she said and you could say that about at least half the threads in the OT Forum - if you wanted to.


      Thanks!

    And this article is a political attack on the "Fire Ant Pet Population". Most fire ants are docile pets that can follow verbal commands. They have no ears, so they have to read lips. Which was originally foreign to them...because they themselves have no lips. Very tragic.

    Anyway. pet fire ants are getting a bad rap. And they don't lend themselves to taxidermy.

    Now, the wild fire ants? They can be kept out of crops by using a fire ant scarecrow. You take a black ant, paint it red, and nail it to a cross in the field. Very effective. Of course, I was told that it was effective..by a fire ant. He may have been lying. Fire ants are very deceptive.

    I feel better now.

    What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

      What does Seriously though you can freeze dry them. From there you can display them or eat them. Just think of the marketing potential, "Freeze Dried Fire" "Now your kids can play Ant Wars and eat the losers."

        They really are very nutritious - and they do point out where the plants that aren't poisoned with glysophate are so they can be used for tracking food. They will keep elephants from completely destroying your local forest (fact, not funny).

        WARNING: If you eat them chocolate covered, please read the ingredients to make sure your chocolate isn't spiked with GMO ingredients.

        THIS JUST IN:
        The Ant National Times this week reports that radical groups have cited humans as the problem behind the death of the planet and are waging war on human food crops. "We've got to get their population back down before they destroy everything. They are poisoning our grounds so widely that our survival has been put at risk" Red Leader Adam, reported. "I realize the cost is astronomical to do so, but every one of those pests we can eradicate brings us closer to living in peace again."
        Are we sure there's more ants or are they just migrating from sprayed ground to save their own asses? Glysophate (for one) is poisonous. NOTHING lives in a field sprayed with Monsanto.
