I haven't been first in awhile.

[baligurl]

Does it also make them more vicious 5 days out of the month?

[blurk]

'Course it would be on a girlie fly gene swappin' thingy.

[Brainy Jello]

Kravitz said his team, pondering how to instigate fruit fly fights, settled on food and mating — or, in this case, necrophilia.

"Necrophilia?"
"Well, yeah - doesn't that go without saying?"
"I have to go now."

[PeeJay]

Could it make Tanya Harding a more of a bob-and-weave type fighter and if her head was cut off, would some male still and............never mind.

[Clark Kent]

So the male flies didn't really care if she had a head or a brain as long as the body was still there....

I can't imagine human males behaving like that.

[Mikey]

Bet they can't EVER get the "That is sooo cute on you." down right. No matter what kind of gene swap they do.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Do they run funny?

[Lairbo]

Do the ones in South Africa leave their penises lying around?

[Stevie W]

Tutu fruitfly!
Who's your doody?
Tutu fruitfly!
Who's your doody?
Tutu...

Oh, never mind.

[Stevie W]

So fly, fly, Miss Bent-Gender Fruitfly
Change your s3xes take your X's swap them for some X-Y
Your headless corpses really get to a guy
Wingin' this is why my voice is so high
This is why my voice is so high...

[pogo]

You've had a long day, stevie. Here, have beer.

[pogo]

*inserts an "a" between have and beer*

[CJrun]

Nicely done, stevie; you earned that beer!

[Cheryl Howard]

This has been a spectacularly awesome day. Full of firsts!
1st! once
Posted once
Signed book (in crayon)by blogmaster once
"Smouldering"(?) photo of blogmaster once (also guessing that it was Dave's first request to look sexy for the camera but I could be completely wrong--also for the first time).

*Time for the happy dance*

[Wyo Cowboy]

Did everybody go home?

[Just Ducky]

Wyo, I was just thinking the same thing!

[Meanie the Blue]

Male fly: Waiter, what's this head doing on my female?
Waiter: The weave, sir.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Hi ducky! got beer?

[Just Ducky]

*slides a cold one to Wyo*

Anyone else?

[Wyo Cowboy]

Howdy, meanie.

[Meanie the Blue]

Greetings and hallucinations, Wyo and JD. Is it thirsty in here or is it just me?

[Wyo Cowboy]

getting wetter all the time. What's your poison, Meanie?

[Just Ducky]

*slides a cold one to Meanie*

[TCK]

it's just you blue

[Meanie the Blue]

Wyo - I'll take a real schnapps (not the sweet or pepperminty kind), if TCK will join me. I know he knows the real stuff himself.

[Meanie the Blue]

.... but a cold one to wet the whistle first is just fine. Thanks, Ducky.

[Wyo Cowboy]

did you all see the Angel Fish pix that baligurl posted?

[Just Ducky]

Great combo, Meanie--beer & schnapps! Are you German?

[TCK]

schnaupps is good with a beer chaser

[Meanie the Blue]

Nur Ente - First generation American, both folks (RIP) from a small town in northern Bavaria. I'm going there to see relatives over Christmas & New Years.

[Just Ducky]

Sehr gut, Meanie! Frohliche Weinachten!

[Just Ducky]

Wyo, my daughter scubas, and has some gorgeous pics from her trips to Cozumel.

[Wyo Cowboy]

that was one huge Angel fish, I'm thinkin'.

When I was in Germany, they used a grain alcohol called Urquel as a chaser. kinda like everclear. Anybody else ever try that stuff?

[Meanie the Blue]

Danke, gleichfalls. Sie sind auch Deutsch?

[TCK]

i've tried everclear

everclear is not a chaser - everclear needs a chaser

[Just Ducky]

Actually, Meanie, my parents are both of German descent, but I was adopted, so my actual heritage is Swedish and Norwegian. I did learn a smattering of German growing up, and took it as a class in high school and college, but have only ein bischen Deutsch left in mein kopf.

[Meanie the Blue]

Sure have, Wyo. My eyes cross just thinking of it.

You've got some Teutonic blood, if I'm guessing right. Correct?

[Wyo Cowboy]

Celtic/Teutonic indeed. Actually Maurice DePrendergrass was a norman invader to Ireland in 1170. He started it all. Maternal side is English/German.

Dern Teuton

[KDF]

Is this one of those dreams where you wake up in German class, and realize you forgot about it all semester, and show up the day before the final?

*is worried in deep doo-doo*

[Just Ducky]

*snork* at Wyo

[Just Ducky]

KDF, I've had that dream, only it was a math class...

*shudders*

[Meanie the Blue]

Looks like the make-up test is your only hope, KDF. ;-)

[Wyo Cowboy]

KDF, the first German word I learned was Beir. (I never did learn to spell it) and found that after a few times sayin' that, all the Germans could speak enough English for us to end up dancin' on the tables.

I did learn quite a bit in the four years I was there, but seldom used it. It's always better to be underestimated, I think.

[KDF]

You'd think I'd have moved onto other recurring dreams at this point in my life, but I still have that one (all subjects.)

[Just Ducky]

What is it about school that creates life-long angst? I was talking w/a friend and she was mentioning her sons's Geometry teacher, and I flashed back to the harridan I had for Geometry my freshman year of high school, who completely tortured me and turned my interest in math into geometryphobia. I still get chills thinking about it.

[KDF]

Actually, Blue, my only hope is for one of you to wear the KDF suit and take the test for me. I can fake my way through French, but I never learned any German.

I did have dachshunds when I was a kid, though, so maybe that will earn me a couple of extra credit points.

[Meanie the Blue]

We can help you with those dreams.... just sayin'...

[Wyo Cowboy]

btw, KDF, I like your tribute to Bo.

[Just Ducky]

Und, so, how long have you been having zeeze dreams?

[KDF]

Aw, thanks, Wyo! :)

[Just Ducky]

Apparently my Freud impression is lacking...

[Wyo Cowboy]

actually, ducky, I thought you sounded a bit like Dr. Ruth.

but that's not all bad.

[Meanie the Blue]

Probably ever since she had the Urquel.

[Just Ducky]

Wyo, is that a short joke? ;)

[KDF]

Well, I'm outta high school 23 years now, and I had the dreams all through junior high and high school, so... you figure it out Ducky, you're the one who needs to work through the math phobia. :)

[Meanie the Blue]

The German class dreams, I meant, Herr Doktor Freud.

Did she tell you about the flying banana/donut dreams too?

[KDF]

*wings sock o'nickels half-dollars at Blue's noggin*

[Just Ducky]

23 + 4+ 2 (or was it 3 in your jr. high?); multiply by the square root of twelve, carry the cosine...

I'm guessin' 29, or 3.14159. Who wants pie?

My phobia is geometry. I'm ok with numbers.

[Meanie the Blue]

Geometry.
Germany.

Hmmmmm.

[Just Ducky]

Banana-donut dreams, hmmmm? I find zis very interesting...

[Wyo Cowboy]

*sings, "short people got, no reason. Short people got, no reason to live..."*

an' Ducky, short is 1/2" shorter than you. K?

[Just Ducky]

Thanks, Mr. Newman.

[Wyo Cowboy]

very interesting... but stupid?

anybody else a geezer?

[Just Ducky]

I got the yo-yo...

[OtheU(manity)]

I must've learned more in Geometry than I realized, 'cuz it seems that the general lessons provided have served me reasonably well thru life ... all (mumble-mumble) years since I took the class ...

Whut kinda pie? Apricot? Rhubarb? Peach? Raspberry? NE/all of those are fine with me ...

[Wyo Cowboy]

that yo-yo might be older than my clackers.

[Just Ducky]

I was thinking of a nice pecan pie...

[Just Ducky]

Dunno, Wyo. When didja buy your clackers?

[Wyo Cowboy]

buy? heck, you kiddin? I swapped four cat-eyes and two steelies for 'em!

[Just Ducky]

And on that note (?), I must fly away for awhile. Just Duckling needs me to ask him questions for his 2 tests tomorrow. See y'all later!

[Just Ducky]

*snork* at Wyo

[Meanie the Blue]

Who's a geezer?

[Wyo Cowboy]

Geezer ear worm:

Gee, our old LeSalle ran great,
Those were the days!

[Meanie the Blue]

Stifle!

[KDF]

Oh, crap. I guess I'm a geezer, too.

[Wyo Cowboy]

For my fellow geezers:

Scenario: Jack pulls into school parking lot with rifle in gun rack.

1956- Vice Principal comes over, takes a look at Jack's rifle, goes to his car and gets his to show Jack.

2006 - School goes into lockdown, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Scenario: Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.

1956 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up best friends. Nobody goes to jail, nobody arrested, nobody expelled.

2006 - Police called, SWAT team arrives, arrests Johnny and Mark. Charge them with assault, both expelled even though Johnny started it.

there's more, but you get the idea, I'm sure.

[Cheryl Howard]

snork @ wyo. The 56 coulda been the class of 86 here. I've had that same thought a million times.

[Stevie W]

I've got the string. AND the klik-klak-blox.

[Siouxie]

*thinks Wyo shouldn't be talking about the age of his "clackers" so openly here...this being a family-friendly blog*

Just sayin'

[Art Vandelay]

Actually Wyo when Mark and Johnny get in a fight they both pull out guns or all of Johnnys friends jump in and start beating Mark. Fair fights are extinct and this is coming from someone born in the 80's.

[gwangi]

Back to the actually story: Does this mean the flies get into "gnat" fights?

[Kristina L.]

Wow, I have those school dreams, too. In my dreams, I've forgotten to go to class the whole semester and just remembered about it on the day of the test.

[AlanBoss]

So di the transgendered flies fight by scratching at each other's eyes and hiding razor blades in their hair?

Or was that just in my neighborhood?
