Green Room - Week 26 - 9

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I was having a conversation yesterday with a friend who wasn't all that familiar with Survivor as I was explaining something they mentioned that it "sounds like high school".

Which got me immediately thinking about every other time someone has said that something has been "just like high school".

It got me wondering - just what sort of high school did people go to that it was just like a reality show and/or being on the internet???? ;)

Is anything ever "Just like it was back in elementary school?" or "Man, this is just like Pre-K all over again!"??? Crayons everywhere man. I'm telling you, crayons everywhere. There are some stains on your soul that just don't wash out man!!!
They. Just. Won't. Wash. Out.

I figure that the people who had decent high school experiences probably *aren't on the internet* - they are the ones who were "popular" which is why the term (online) has such negative connotations at times. "People like it - it must suck" :)

***
Speaking of things that people like, but definitely don't suck - voting is still going on with this week's entries!!! http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/340937.html

Immunity will be announced LATE this evening btw. So if you are on the jury, remember to get your ballot in and if you aren't - stay tuned!!!

Ahahhahaha. So they have spots?

They are harmless just SOOOO effing annoying.

Ours don't fly, but they're red, with black spots, but shaped like love bugs. They're also harmless but incredibly annoying. They're worse than ants. It seems like nothing will make them go away and they can just coat a tree trunk.

Boxelder Bug (http://restoredpestservices.com/images/86733241.VPppnSjL.BoxElderBugAD.jpg)?

ETA: That's a link to a picture of the bug. In case your browser doesn't make those obvious. XD

No, smaller spots, like a ladybug. Even our garden store just calls them "bêtes rouges avec les taches noirs"

UPDATE- they seem to be of this variety (http://cisr.ucr.edu/red_bug.html), helpfully called Red Bug.

Weird. I'm not finding this bug anywhere. There's nothing with an elongated body, wings, and spots.

It's not this guy (http://svt6projet.free.fr/local/cache-vignettes/L150xH121/DSCN8657-0f129-b38a6.jpg) is it?

Well.... looks like you're stuck. They feed on the dead. Dead weeds, dead bugs... can't really avoid them. :( What failsauce.

They're just a pain. You can only kill them off again and again and again.

Ugh. I'd rather they didn't fly. i'd rather there be no bugs in the world at all.
