That was AWESOME.
I have a sudden need to clean my ears…
Good idea… years back, a friend found one or two maggots in her baby’s ear.
The theory was: baby had ear infection that caused a slight eardrum rupture. Causing all that yummy infected fluid to leak out. Just then a curious fly happened by… and the rest is history. :eek: :eek: :eek: :barf smiley:
Do I win? (or, um, does my friend win?)
Whoever read this thread while eating, while ignoring the little voice in the back of their head that kept saying, “Hey, maybe you really shouldn’t read this thread while eating,” but for some reason you did it anyway, like you were a guy on fire hurtling from a roof towards certain death, raise your hand…

I’m eating.
Doesn’t bother me a bit.
And I want second helpings of Opal’s Spam-Circus Peanut-Tuna casserole, to boot.
With a great big glass of ice-cold kraut juice to wash it down.
Ugggghhhhh! Ewwwww!
…
Everyone knows the kraut juice should be served warm.
Well, sure.
Natch.
If it’s served without the soy sauce.
Hey, maggots aren’t all bad. They serve a legit medical purpose!
Couldn’t be half as bad as a virulent case of gangrene.
Actually they are quite clean and fastidious creatures, it is just that they have an appetite for the nasty stuff and consume it greedily.
Oh, hell yeah. I’ve always been fascinated with the “dump a few maggots on that infected leg of yours, and let 'em eat the dead tissue” trick.

I also read bits and pieces of it to my husband until he threatened to sleep in the guest room for the next week.
Of course, with the way he’s been snoring lately, I almost took him up on it.

[AntQueen] Let me get this straight. You * ALL* got me maggots for my golden jubilee?[/AQ]
Don’t know why but I your description made me picture a Larsonesque cartoon.
I’m eating right now.
I’m eating some almonds - it’s not like I’m eating rice or brains or something.
Wanderers, that would make an excellent Far Side cartoon.
Remember that garbage can I spoke of in the OP? Did I mention that it sits right next to our garage door? Well, it looks that that door isn’t hermetically sealed.
I went into the garage to get a drink just now (we keep a spare fridge in there), and the place is filled with flies. Looks like a bunch of my maggoty friends made the trip indoors.
<sniff>…they grow up so fast…<wipes tear>
