Nasty little bastards, annoying as hell.
The owners of Chi-fil-a, I mean.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

I was working outside and those little bastards put a hurtin' on me. They drew blood and left welts.

Do you have biting flies where you live? I know about the ones in the woods and those that like it by water, I'm talking about an ordinary looking house fly that draws blood when it bites. Their looks are deceptive, they aren't ordinary house flies.
I didn't know about those flys until I moved here. They've been calling them black flies.

Deer flies are the worst they have to bite through some tough hide. Chomping on a human is like eating sponge cake to them.

Well, you're going to have to find something you like as well because it's been discontinued.
...or you can do what I did and find a source and buy enough to last the next few years.

I have a new white desk, I think you have a pic of it. I'm forever cleaning it.

Yeah, that's the only thing stopping me. I live on a farm, I have pets, etc. but it doesn't keep me from lusting for it. Pottery Barn has a line of white that has slipcovers that can be removed for cleaning. These aren't your Gramma's slipcovers, they are beautiful rather than cheesy, tacky.

My Grandmother had those clear plastic slip covers that you stick to. They sold their house about the same time I got my first apartment, and I ended up with her couch. My grandmother was absolutely mortified the first time she came over and saw "her" couch nekkid (with out the slip cover).

I saw them immediately in my mind's eye when I read that so I must have seen them at some point.

Old people did that so they could sit on them naked.

I bet she uses a ton of starch. I can still remember the smell of Niagara starch on Sunday mornings.

There was a can of that in my house growing up.
Weird the way simple words can elicit memories for me.

Old people say a lot of weird shit. My 80 year old dad said "I'm glad I don't have a vagina that a fly can fly into. Worse he can do is land on my penis."
