Me vs Mosquito

Byrnzie

This fucker woke me up 3 times last night and each time I couldn't find it. It was a crafty bastard. I sat here at my p.c this morning and noticed it fly past. I grabbed my electric tennis racket zapper but again he got away. Eventually I spotted the fucker on the wall above my p.c. I grabbed my zapper and fried his ass good.

Fuck mosquitos! :twisted:

I got Ross River Fever from a fucking mosquito about 5 years ago.....couldn't close my jaw so couldn't eat, couldn't bend a couple of my fingers, had a weak hip joint for about a year!

I get great pleasure in killing those little fuckers!! :twisted:

I've only had a couple in my apartment this year. I normally keep the windows closed between 4pm and 9am to stop them getting in. This fucker must have followed me through the front door yesterday evening. Mosquito's are no match for electric tennis racket zappers though.

I'm from Boston, I now live in L.A.


There are a lot of reason to love living in both places.



Not having Mosquitoes is VERY high on the why I love LA list.

And it's not so much the bites that bother me as much as the high-pitched whining sound they make when they fly by your ear. Irritates the shit out of me. I don't like being woken up. :evil:

haha I've never seen a handheld mosquito zapper before.

Another reason I hate them is they spread heartworm between dogs! :x

Stupid useless fucking things! What is their purpose anyway? What are they good for? Nothing except spreading disease!

Those tennis racket zappers hurt when someone hits you with one.
My cheeky little cousin overseas zapped me with one, what a sensation, ouch.

As for mosquitoes, they are so hard to kill because they r so small and thin, like hitting at mid air.

It's great when you catch the fuckers in mid-flight though.

way better to slap them dead on your body when theyre full of blood.

i heard tis only the female mozzies that bite you. im not sure i believe that.

I try smack them when they are on the wall or ceiling with my thong or moccasin.
They always seem to get away! :x

Worst is when you are about to go to bed and you see one on the wall/ceiling and you miss then it disappears and you get pissed off knowing you missed an opportunity and will now be bitten during your sleep. :x

Sounds about right. :P

I almost killed myself trying to kill one of those fuckers. Slipped from marble steps as I was trying to smash it, and ended up with four stitches in the back of my head. Now when I kill them I leave them on walls and cabinets as trophies. I swear I have never seen anything like this mosquito nightmare in Florence.

Ever wonder what that big bump to big to be a mozzie bite is on your back?
It's a spider bite.

Mosquitos are brutal out here in the summer...that damn Great Salt Lake....

The mozzie bites in Korea used to swell up pretty big and itch for days. They're not so bad here though. The high-pitched buzzing sound still drives me crazy though. Luckily I've managed to keep them out for the most part this year.
