The box elder bug,
An unlikely commuter,
Flutters to the door.

Bwooop!
The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
I tried responding to this on Saturday, I think it was, but there was no word in the word verification box. Sigh. What I said was something like--"unlikely commuter"--nice!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I should have haibuned it: While I was on the train, I noticed a box elder bug. It crawled across the floor and then when the door open took flight. It did not make it out before the door closed.
ReplyDeletetwo box elder bug tales:
ReplyDeletemy cat/ kitten pounced on one this morning with all its prey/predator genetic material.
my somewhat obsessive neighbor has spent *hours* this week spraying individual box elder bugs on her house and in the trees with a water/vinegar mixture--very strange. There's haiku subject.
