Dave should write a book called, "The Friendly Little Ant". It would be a work of fiction.

So that's somebody's great ant?
Posted by: Lairbo | March 14, 2010 at 11:25 AM
I wouldn't try stepping on that one. It may fight back.
Posted by: nursecindy | March 14, 2010 at 11:26 AM
Careful with the roaches that will be coming AFTER that ant.

I'd stay away from Them! if I were you.

Unfortunately James Whitmore isn't with us any more, but maybe James Arness could pass along some handy giant-ant handling tips.
The trailer to "Them" was a little overwrought, but it was still a good movie. Never go into the storm drains without a few good Wilhelm screams packed away for emergencies.

Yes, Siouxie, and the palmetto bugs are even bigger. Just a few of the things I love about Florida.

Didn't even notice his pet ant. I was too busy staring at Dave's manly left bicep (in big picture).
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 14, 2010 at 12:00 PM
Maybe they're Carpenter ants.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 14, 2010 at 12:06 PM
snork @ Annie.
If it has more than four legs, kill it.

It's about dam time that Joan Collins got the
recognition she deserves!

Happy Pi Day, everyone.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 14, 2010 at 12:22 PM
Eeeeek! Annie, he's got a little man growing outta that bicep!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 14, 2010 at 12:24 PM
I had one like that, too, but then I got a divorce.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 14, 2010 at 12:40 PM
hah! A gal's gotta get rid of the dead weight.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 14, 2010 at 12:57 PM
Can we take him home? Pleeeeeeeeeeeease???
Posted by: Sophie | March 14, 2010 at 01:10 PM
We're gonna need a bigger can of Raid.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 14, 2010 at 01:25 PM
Must be after that big ice cream cookie in the background.
Posted by: clown puppy | March 14, 2010 at 01:28 PM
Hold my beer and I'll go get the blowtorch.
Posted by: clown puppy | March 14, 2010 at 01:33 PM
Dave...your homonculus is escaping...
Posted by: SW | March 14, 2010 at 01:34 PM
I hope Dave got a picture of Sophie riding that thing. Because I'm sure she wants a pony.

Isaac Asimov's "Dreamworld" was published in 1955. It's much scarier than the B movies, and so is Aunt Clara.
Posted by: Ralph | March 14, 2010 at 02:47 PM
Just send the Giant Toads after it. Problem solved!
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | March 14, 2010 at 02:55 PM
Where did Dave find the baby ant?
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | March 14, 2010 at 04:00 PM
dedant dedant, dedant dedant deeeeedant dedant de deeeedee. that's the pink panther theme in ant music.

I hope Tiger has as good a sense of humor as Kanye did...
I wonder if any of his lady friends will be featured as well?
/OT

Looks like this ant eats pretty hardy.
Posted by: Theresa | March 14, 2010 at 05:42 PM
And what's with the shifty guy next to the celery stalk?
And who eats celery with their ice cream cookie?
And who are all those people in the reflection of Dave's glasses?
Posted by: Joyce | March 14, 2010 at 06:17 PM
Come on Dave...confess..HOW many times have you been to Disneyland in those sunglasses?
Posted by: Novanglus | March 14, 2010 at 06:55 PM
You think they're big in Florida, you should see the mothers in Texas!!
Posted by: Suzie Q. Wacvet | March 14, 2010 at 07:19 PM
dave, for one, welcomes our new ant overlords...
Posted by: insomniac | March 14, 2010 at 07:33 PM
At least those will never get in your pants. The ants, I mean ... you know... er,..... right?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 14, 2010 at 07:47 PM
Do blue shirts attract giant ants?
Posted by: Ralph | March 14, 2010 at 08:25 PM
In case of attack, break glass and put this on.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 14, 2010 at 09:03 PM
Won't happen Meanie. It doesn't say 'Tommy Bahama' on the front. Our ants here in North Carolina are small but bite like the dickens. I stepped in a red ant hill a couple of years ago and was pulling my pants off as I ran into the house to the shower. I think it was more of me than my neighbors wanted to see.
Posted by: nursecindy | March 14, 2010 at 11:15 PM
When I was a kid, I was almost phobic about ants. They kept coming into the house every spring. I'd go into the pantry, pick up something, and there were 3 ants clinging to it. Ick!
Posted by: Kristina L. | March 14, 2010 at 11:48 PM
Large ice cream cookie. Giant stalk of celery. Giant ant and Dave. Has it occurred to anyone that maybe these things are normal sized and Dave has shrunk? Sometimes you have to look at these things logically.

Happy Steak & Blowjob Day!
