Sunshine blues

[robinbloke]

After the glorious weather on Monday the full joys of spring and summer began to remind me that they existed. For me one of the great things about winter is the (relative) lack of bugs, insects and other horrible crawly things. Evil bug eyed little alien creatures that just want to take our iPods and rule the world from the back of a giant fruit I tell you.

Which made me wonder about this...

Thanks :)

I knew you would take it as a compliment :D

[duncanneko.livejournal.com]

You mean there are people that wouldn't?

*shudder*

[snowyfeline.livejournal.com]

in my neck of the woods, sadly, yes.

Normality is far too overrated.

Except in statistical analysis.

Unfortunately, bugs do lots of useful things - pollination, biodegrading etc. You can't really say 'other things will fill their place', because they won't.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

True; but it's an entirely hypothetical question - the other things to replace them may not actually exist, it's just if you wish you could push that button and just remove all the crawly beasties without anything going wrong.

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

But if you eradicated all of them you'd also lose nice things like ladybirds and butterflies.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Not nice to me I'm afraid. They look nice, but when you get close... ~shiver~

Where's my "Ooohhh, shiny button!" option, damn you!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

It's a hidden secret.
You have to find the unlock code for this post to access it.

[rirekon.livejournal.com]

Is the code "I'll burn your Vodka if you don't unlock it"?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Eeeep! Have a button...

[rirekon.livejournal.com]

Yay button
*hugs the button*
*presses button franticly*

I ticked NO because the phrase ' other things will fill their place' gives me the fear.
Better the bugs you know.

They could be replaced by micro-puppies!
