hahaha. Reminds me of a time at a Drive in Movie theatre. There were millions of mosquitoes, most of em in the washrooms.
So I was at a urinal and one got dangerously close and I was waving around trying to bat it outta the air. Piss going everywhere.
The mosquitoes in my back yard are terrible. Cant even play paintball back there. They'll be right on the other side of your mask and right in your eyes. It's like water torture. Than the odd one will get under and up into your mask. Terrible.
ROFL! Can't type...laughing too hard...
Apparently garlic repels mosquitos (which is possibly why the garlic repels vampires myth exists.... both are bloodsuckers). I just found that out the other day.
The last time I went dove hunting I sprayed myself down pretty thoroughly, but didn't coat the jeans I was wearing all that well. When I got home I realized that crouching down for several hours had pulled the jeans up tight against my crotch and the mosquitoes had bitten right through the denim. My taint was swollen and itchy for a week!
I have tears in my eyes from laughing so damn hard. I imagine that will the last time you swat at yourself for awhile.
Poor Emperor and his buddies!!! I hate those pesky things. My kids are highly allergic to them too so it really sucks if they get bit! They swell up horribly. Hey, now, I bet that wouldn't be too bad of a side effect for the Emperor!!!! hahahahaha
poor jeth!
Were they the mosquitos that grow to be the size of hand or the little little ones that get everywhere?
RA, that's why Cajuns don't mind living in the swamps. They eat garlic like its candy.
ROTFL Glad you saved the emporer from imenient danger.
"There's a skeeter on your peeter, whack it off"
Not sure where or why or even what that song lyric means but I thought of it immediately.
derek - I played paintball once 2 days after it rained in the middle of the woods without repellant. My friends and I looked like we had Measles.
Jenny - I'm glad my whacking can amuse. 
restless angel - These things were desparate. I don't know if garlic alone would've been enough. I'll have to try it next time though.
tinyhands - I guess it gives a good excuse to reach into your pants. Seriously, through denim? I'm telling you, Texas skeeters are crazy!
Jen - It was instinct/reflex the first time. I'm going to have to learn to control "whacking myself".
Michelle - The only problem is that the swelling wouldn't be uniform. It'd look more like an STD. Not only that, but the itch just doesn't sound too appealing. Now, if I could only catch Mumps again.
tCj - Both. They were everywhere!
angi - the emporer commands protection and I obey.
Boo - That's a song lyric? You'll have to tell me the title and artist.
That was an insanely funny story, although I had to cringe a little at the thought of a mosquito biting my "emperor". It worries me that I know I'd have the same initial reaction....swat the damn thing, and then regret that decision for at least the next 10 minutes.
I've been told, and experienced, that taking a lot of Vitamin C in the day/days prior to being out in that mess will keep them away.
There's a skeeter on your peter
whack it off

Thanks for the inspiration Boo and Restless Angel!!
Thanks Nanner...I knew I wasn't totally losing my mind. Jethro...carry on with your peeter whacking skeeter or is it skeeter whacking peeter...whateva

Sam - What is up with "The Pain"? It takes 10 seconds to set in and takes 10 minutes to dissipate.
Inanna - Catchy. I like it.
Boo - I think skeeter whacking speeter makes it sound like my peter is a weapon. On the other hand, we might have something with peter whacking skeeter....
All of you are hilarious. I have nothing to add but my laughter joining in.
I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed by you whacking off skeeters or allowing Mason to smother you in mosquito repellent.
whacking off skeeters
Z, d'ya realize what you said?
Ow. Can't even read the rest. Don't joke about the twig and giggleberries.
tCj - Yeah.
Jeanette - I'm glad me whacking myself can entertain. Especially since your under stress from all the moving and stuff.
Zelda - I'll let you decide that one babe.
tCj - Does that make me a mosquitophile?
jp - No joke, man. But, I figured since it was already done, why not let people have a good laugh over it.
y'know...considering all the mosquitos were female*, I'd like to know how it'd even be possible!
*only female mosquitos suck blood; they're gathering nutrients for the eggs they're about to lay
tCj - As much as I enjoy females sucking on the Emporer....I'll pass on female mosquitos.
