Suck 'em out with a shop vac.

beauregaardhooligan · 07-22-2019, 07:28 AM

My friend discovered some in his yard right before a 4thofJuly party and didn't want to bomb the place. He found a huge glass bowl, went out early in the morning just before it got light and capped their hole with it. Then he sealed all around the edge with dirt and put a rock on top.
It made for fascinating entertainment.
He said after a coupla3 days they dehydrate and die.

I'm surprised they didn't have a second entrance.

I've used the inverted bowl technique (only for yellowjackets, of course).to good effect.
They do often have auxiliary openings so you have to look carefully for them. Not carefully just in the close search sense, but in the caution sense: those little buggers are fierce and determined.
Working at night with heavy clothing, as complete overage as you can with gloves and eye protection is more than important.
The edge seal has to be maintained.
They will beat themselves to death for days before activity dies down.
Buried deep under the surface tunnels are brood chambers containing thousands of eggs and larva, unaffected by the turmoil up top.
They are immune to all but the most powerful shop vac and have to be dug out and killed separately.

I got stung by (I think) a regular bee, right on my wrist-- about an hour before I went to go play a three-hour gig on the drums. It didn't bother me that bad, but AFTER the gig, when I went to load up, I noticed it was painful to lift anything heavy, I guess because all the swelling in such a small area.

Then the SOB itched like hell for a couple more days.

Why use a bowl when you can use a bomb?

What is this?

I really have no idea, but I am going to say stacking metal chairs, cropped in such a way as to leave the recognizable chair part missing.

Yeah, correct. Just trying to get this thread moving again.

Diaphone Jim · 09-09-2019, 06:21 PM

I like this thread too, so I hope your efforts succeed.
Here is a mystery picture" that I bought at a magic and joke store when I was probably ten or eleven (1952 or so).
I looked at it every time I went there and couldn't figure it out. As with the 'magic' tricks and other goodies, you had to buy them before the owner would tell how they worked.
Damn, but that place was hard on my allowance.
I still have that postcard and it still stumps people.
Of course once you know what it is, you can't look at it without seeing it, so I can't say if it is going to be hard or easy here.
I found it online with my first Google try.

I've seen that one before but couldn't remember the answer. Did a search for optical illusion images, and saw some good ones.

Stumbled across the answer for this one and it still took me a minute to see it. But now there it is, plain as day.

I think it's hard to find because to us white is nothing, it's the canvas, so we look for the answer in the dark parts.

Plus, it's all dirty, grainy, and overexposed.

Pennywise, or angry Bozo?

Oh, I see it, now.
