Random Observation #464

images.jpg
Isn't it amazing that flies eat the same things we do? It seems to me, through casual observation, that regardless what I'm eating for lunch today the fly that's trapped in this room with me would be happy to partake. I mean, if you were seeing a fly for the very first time in your life would you naturally think, "Hmm, I bet he and I would order the same entree at a multi-specie restaurant."

On a related note: I keep finding flies drowned in my coctkails; we have so much in common.

Music: Anyone else heard The Wannadies? I think they'd be filed musically and alphabetically next to Weezer.

gotta find some ritalin

dood. flies eat shit and lay eggs on cadavers. they are attracted to a chemical called putracine which is the smell of dead things.

You saying you ain't attracted to the smell of dead things? dood, you're a carnivore. you're drawn to the smell of BBQ like sharks to chum. you get drunk off bacon like G.W. gets drunk off power. you eat the dead every day. just because flies prefer carpaccio to carbonara doesn't give you the right to look down on them.

Flies only eat shit cause they're poor. Like Kenny. Given the choice they'd much rather eat bacon-wrapped filet mignon.
