Nothing that I know off. Well I did kill a nest of these big striped bee/ hornet /wasp things and this was one of those. About 1.5 inch long and seem to hold a grudge. Will make sure I kill all of them next time.

I know this post is in jest, but wasps definitely seem to hold grudges. ******* will follow you for miles trying to sting you.

Are we talking about the insect or White Anglo-Saxon Protestants?

Immediately following the sting get some meat tenderizer (@ 1 tbspn) and mix in a few drops of water to make a paste and slather that over the sting. Works like a champ. Benadryl, ibuprofen and an ice pack help as well.

Most of the time people think they've been stung by a bee, they've been stung by a wasp.

There is a lot of confusion out there on what is what. Bees called wasps, wasps called bees, hornets called wasps you name it....sweat bees, bumble bees, honey bees, mud dobbers etc.

Most of the common wasps we see are either the brown/black mud dauber ones, or yellow jackets. A lot of people confuse yellow jackets for bees since they both have yellow and black stripes, but they're fairly easy to tell apart when you know them. Bees are also pretty reluctant to sting, since their stinger is barbed and stays in the object, which kills them. If you're attacking their nest they'll sting, but generally not. The vast majority of arbitrary stings people get from something landing on their clothes, hair, or just in general, it's a wasp. Wasps don't give a **** and will sting just 'cos.

Living in South Texas we have all varieties of stinging/biting nasty critters. Most of the bees here have been Africanized to some degree, but that works both ways re aggression. Still really have to **** with a bee hive to piss it off in most cases. Riding by on a mower/tractor and getting a thousand stings is common but generally the exception not the rule. Wasps/Hornets can sting multiple times and they are very aggressive. I have mud daubers all over my yard, they are not aggressive and avoid confrontation with people.

The meat tenderizer trick works for all hymenoptra stings as the venom is protein based.

It's the fire ants I hate.

You fucking numbskulls, you too Urblock.

What did I do?

I made a sarcastic post about winos5 being racist while talking bees.
winos5 missed the sarcasm and posted a serious reply.
Tater completely understood my post and replied with a green sarcastic text of his own.
Here is when I got the lobotomy, I missed the sarcasm, the green text fucking sarcasm. Urblock got it and thanked.

Being the undisputed master of sarcasm, I lumped all three together, the 2 that got it and the 1 that missed it, and insulted all 3. I thought you missed my sarcasm, so I insulted you because I missed your sarcasm.

This stupidity will not stand.
Self ban, I think 6 hours is fair.
Not allowed to insult anyone for 24 hours.
Total sarcasm ban, undetermined duration.


I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve posted things I regret, and the words posted today are some of them.
Anyone who knows me knows that post doesn't reflect who I am. I posted it, I was wrong, and I apologize.
