Default First Bug of the Season

Inhaled my first bug of the season on my commute home
tonight.

Thought I'd share.

my noggin!

Pass the salt.

Indeed. This particular victim had no taste to it at
all. Sometimes the critters are rather bitter tasting.

Of course, the fellow completely bypassed my taste buds
slamming into the back of my throat, so perhaps salt
would not have been necessary.

At least he ended up in my stomach. Too often they're
in my lungs!

No bug protein yet. After plotting my lake run on that Google Ma utility I
decided to do it for real. Not quite as long. I turned back shortly after
the dam.

Damn but there were a lot of chipmunks out and about. Wish I'd brought some
sunflower seeds.

Reminds me of my first bug. A large fly of the Northern Ohio sort, sucked into
my left nostril like a goony bird in a C130. Difference is the C130 can't do a
snot rocket. And trust me, this was a personal best, launch speed must've
exceeded 120mph. Saw the little bastid hit the pavement.

Great mental image.

do?

Roger,

If a bug in your lungs is *swimming*, you might want to head for the
ER and be started on Lasix and antibiotics. It's likely you have
pneumonia ;-)

Yeah, but, the OP did say he ended up in his stomach!

Fair point.

Any bug works its way down to my stomach has a 50/50 chance of
experiencing what's known as "Death by Guacamole" or--in its original
Latin--Guacamoliosis.

It ain't pretty.
