I would have thought you'd have grown quite used to that sort of thing from LJ by now. One spliff too many, huh?

Did he eat a Spanish Fly?

Looks like an illustration of the term "Onanism" to me.

As kids in Bellingham we lived in an area that was huge on Bats. I did the very same thing to attract them.

Extremely beneficial creatures. Extremely scary. Great shots!

Bats in the house can have a nasty side besides the obvious, they pee when frightened. If bad urine all over your walls and carpet isn't bad enough it effectively aerosolizes the rabies virus (if the bat is infected) and will pass it to everyone who walks into the area.

OK, it's NOVEMEBER, as in bats going away for the winter or sleepy sleepy no insects see you in the spring.

One frigging bat didn't get the memo. HELLEAUX? we're havin dinner here, can you go fly around someone else's living room?

Custom G (aka SWMBO) saw it first, inchling was very curious and a little spooked, picking up on our excitement.

Eventually we trapped him in the parlor and I made a giant net out of some mosquito netting and pvc pipe. (seemed more efficacious than running around with an oven mitt and a badminton racquet screaming like a woman though that did cross my mind)

Now the house is slowly warming back up after ahving all the windows open in the 20 something degree weather.

asshole bat.

I live about 2km from the largest fruit bat colony in the southern hemisphere. We see lots of bats. One flew into our pool fence a couple of nights ago. He didn't feel very well. After a while he flapped his arms and off he went.

My neighbour once got arrested for shooting fruit bats. Actually, he got arrested for carrying .22 around the front yard. That was pretty funny. He was just protecting his bananas!
