Edit to previous plan. Today is a wash - the Zyrtec and analgesics are no match for the pollen-fu. I guess I'll be spending another day at home, feeling rather blah.

So, how are all of you doing today? May I live vicariously through you, for today? :)

It takes dedication to fire-ant-and-honey someone in winter, what with having the fire ants imported and all. Good form.

Did you order the fire ants from General Services?

I got my breeding dozen from them originally, but I've been feeding them ambrosia and 1855 brandy in an attempt to breed a better variety of Evil Torture Bug.

My first thought is "What a waste of brandy!", but then I don't suppose they drink all that much.

Nah, not so much. Negligable amounts.
But with the ambrosia, man, they get BIG. Not big enough to trigger me just yet.
But then that's what the Lloyd Bridges sized tank of ether is for.
If only my life really was this interesting....

Are they big enough yet to put in a wee little harness? Then a pet rat could have a sleigh. You could have Ratarod races across the apartment.

I bet the roomies would love that.

It might even be more fun than grape racing.

*checks the 'fridge for grapes*

Don't forget the vegetable oil.

I figured you just might, at that. :P

zOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
It really is a great pity I'm not an Evil Mad Scientist, because seriously this boredom thing would just take care of itself.
(Of course, preventing the little Charioteerat from EATING the Ratarod "horses" would be difficult, and then I'd be dealing with polyploidal rats. Which get 'spensive to feed.)
Yes, quite.
*grabs the ambrosia and the brandy*

Lightweight steampunk suits for the ants. Very pointy steampunk suits. Complete with tiny, tiny plumes of steam from the joints. Oh yeah. And perhaps a decorative muzzle for the Charioteerats.

I wouldn't mind terribly, as long as there was an understanding that any fire ants found within my demesnes would be viable prey for my Attack Aardvark, Anastasio. Or my Terrorantulas. Whichever got to them first.

Do you sell terrorantula spiderlings on the fuzzy market? 'Cause I could use me some of those.
