So, it's Friday night. My arm is feeling better. I come home, put Larry Pattis' tunes on the player, and start making spaghetti, while the wine chills in some ice. I'm feeling FINE, humming and wandering and slicing and listening.
Spag sauce is bubbling, I pour a glass of wine, flip open the laptop to have a look at the forum. I reach for my glass....
There's not one, but TWO fruitflies doing the back stroke in my chardonnay.
Darn things are so small I can't hold them down while I pull bits off. So I just squished them. (No, not in the chardonnay.)
There, I feel better now. I can resume my regular Friday evening programing....
I'd vote for someone who could annihilate fruit flies....

I did drink the worm at the bottom of a bottle of Mescal, once. Of course, had consumed most of the bottle of Mescal at the time. No, I didn't chew it.
But fruit flies and chardonnay, I dunno....

Justifiable bugicide, IMHO: It'd have to be a good chardonay indeed to go with that new Pattis CD...  |

Mike! You have it! It was cheap plonk - those two flies were the guitar gods slapping me around for drinking tetra pak wine while listening to Larry's stuff. My wife's gone out tonight - I don't get to drink the good stuff when she's not here....  |

Yeah, I was picking them out of my Cabernet last night every few minutes. The Okanagan seems to be a vacation destination for fruit flies...

Give up the white and drink whisky. They won't do the backstroke. They'll die, be sterilized and mummified in an instant. You could fish them out if that sort of thing bothers you, but they'll probably be stuck to a cube of ice like a dinosaur in a glacier anyway. Drink the little bastards.

Hell, that's the ONLY time I get to drink the good stuff.

I have nothing clever to add but I did just want to thank you, Rick, for the good giggle I had reading your post! ;D BTW, so glad to hear your arm is better...so were you celebrating? |

No, Cyndy - it was Friday night. Quite often have a glass at night - on the weekends, we get wild and have two.
Now that winter's coming, might be time to follow Tim's advice, and break out the scotch. Mind you, the fruit flies will all be dead by then....
Still not playing. When that day comes, yes, there'll be some celebrating.....
