You’re Such An A-Hole, Life
@Kris0logy posted “Ode To My Rug“
(A Xanga challenge, never been done)
@EmilyandAtticus kind of dug
the concept, and pondered what can be spun.Tricky situation, it proved to be.
“Never done before”, a difficult claim.
Tough to come up with a suitable plea.
A pretty hard target for which to aim.In steps life, with all her limits unbound,
determined to inspire at the last hour
thus a buttload of ants was what I found,
in my pants after a relaxing shower.So here’s a sonnet in iambic-pent’
of fire-ants in my pants. (Of which I vent.)>_<

That sounds… blistery.
@ShimmerBodyCream - While this wasn’t a pleasant experience, things could’ve been much, much worse.
Luckily (or unluckily, depending on your view) this was not the first time this had happened. Ants are something of a seasonal “thing” here, and they have a tendency to settle into the most inconvenient of places. So, on upside, I knew well enough to take off my pants as fast I could and run back to the shower.
@Lakakalo - LMAO THAT WAS TRUE? I mean… horrible…. *laughs silently* =X
@ShimmerBodyCream - Yes. Yes it is. And if you need something to laugh silently at, this experience was comparatively better that one time I discovered ants in the underwear I just put a minute prior. >.<
So there is a challenge to write on the junk in your trunk? What if you don’t wear trunks?
Some people need coffee in the morning…others need fire ants
@Kellsbella - If you don’t wear trunks, then I feel really sorry for you. Ants have a tendency of going every and anywhere. Anywhere. >.<
And no, there’s not really a challenge of any sort. It just started off as a discussion on posting something that had “Never been done before on Xanga”. Since I had the dubious fortune of discovering ants in my pants, I figured I’d make the best of the situation, and try to write a sonnet.
@SaintBlue1131 - As luck would have it, I wrote a song about coffee titled “Trimethylxanthine” way back when. I should post it here one of these days. So… I have the horrifying need for both ants and coffee…? 0_O
@Lakakalo - Right, then. I shall wear unders if I ever visit you. Oh, I very much enjoyed your sonnet. (I forget to mention that, I see. (I need more caffeine…..)
is the tri ethyl xanthine one similar to?
kenyan kona java, guate malan,, which one oh which one yum. *karma, chamelion. culture club – its actually kinda flipping hard to rhyme with scheme and attempt cohesive communication… try
@Kellsbella - I’d recommend wearing some clothing as well. Bangladesh has a very conservative culture.
@starmanjones -
Trimethylxanthine
is more of a standard “song”.
No fancy meters.
As far as coffee…
I like ‘em all. ‘cept for the
gross Kopi Luwak.
>_<
@Lakakalo - damn you- you listened – kopi lawak creaapy sludge – tainted flavored bliss? || cant sneak one past you – bastard as in unhelpful – I’ll get you, just wait!
@starmanjones -
Ooooooooh… You’ll get me… And
you’d have gotten away with
it too, Old Man Jones.
(Had it not been for
those nosy meddling kids and
their large talking dog.)
@Lakakalo - you want scooby snacks? – uncious sambal oelek bate?- just a lil ground green? ||| chily pot wings mmm, makin it diff’cult to strutt- yes amble on home.
@starmanjones -
Don’t you know?! Scooby
Snacks are people! Why do you
think no one returned?
A mystery “solved”
and no one hears from the folks,
none return. EVER.
0_O
LMAO. That was funny.
@angys_coco - Thank you. Err…the Sonnet or the Haikus?
@Lakakalo - no lalakalo,disappering of the guests, scrummy nummy nummmmmm
-|- fried green tomatoes? a bbq bye bye bye?- and salad frog eye?
Uh uh uh… let my tears be still.
I can honestly say that I have never read a poem about someone literally having ants in their pants. well done.
oh geez, I thought that you were using ants figuratively. the saying has come true. O.O
Oh my gosh, ants in your pants, that’s horrible! But LMFAO. Now I feel like a jerk. Worry over bugs is why I wear shorts over my underwear when I sleep. I don’t want bugs getting curious.
Couldn’t you do something to keep ants out in the first place, though? Spraying for them, or even using the ant “traps” should eliminate a problem before it really starts. And also the obvious of not leaving food out, and cleaning frequently.
I think we can safely say this has NEVER been done on Xanga!! But it’s true?? I’m gonna have nightmares about that one!
Aren’t fire ants those really bad ones that bite? Not like normal ants? Eeek.
smiling
@starmanjones -
Disappearing
guests made scooby snack? Best damn
episode EVER.
A literal last
supper. A dish to die for.
A malefic meal.
@RestlessButterfly - You’ve had similar problem with ants?
@amateurprose - Thanks. Er… when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you fire-ants, you write poetry I guess.
@StrawberrySunrises - There are times I am convinced life has a twisted sense of humor.
@VampireOfSeduction - Oh these didn’t simply crawl up my pants. I don’t think ants actively seek out people. They decided to move into my pants because they were left there undisturbed for a few days.
@EmilyandAtticus - Yes. Yes they are.
@Grannys_Place - Glad you liked it. Like I said, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you fire-ants, you write poetry.
@Lakakalo - Ants, mosquitos etc… you name it!
@RestlessButterfly - Mosquitoes are annoying, but once you set up the nets, they aren’t much of a nuisance. Ants, on the other hand have a way of working around whatever obstacles you put in front of them. :C
@Lakakalo - Exactly that.
Cemetaries, yeah.
people are just DYING too
get in on it all.
