So sometimes I would put him in places where he would be noticed... One time the wife spotted him on the cutting board and was about to bash him and throw him overboard.... "No!!!... That's Cocky! He's made of rubber...remember?" That incident was not a shining moment in my life - but it was a bit funny at the time (for a brief moment)... I had a couple of those that I kept around my computer monitors, I had four of them, when I was working. I would tell people they were the result of the "buggy" code that I was writing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Tommy T. Posted January 23, 2020 Forum Support Posted January 23, 2020 Cockroaches, flies, mozzies, sugar ants... I have them under control here for now... There used to also be what people called palm beetles when anchored out in remote islands on the yacht. They were tiny little bugs about the size of a gnat that would land and crawl on me then eventually start to make a painful bite. They didn't cause any itch or lasting effect, just that very painful first bite. And they were hard shelled, difficult to kill. At least there don't seem to be sand flies or "midges" or whatever they are called in Kiwiland or Oz. Those were horrible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hounddriver Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 And them feckers bite. I woke up one day with one of them biting my head. It hurt! I chased him down and gave him the vigilante justice he deserved. (My best guess is that I had some of that "hair gel" on and it seems to attract roaches (and filipinas sometimes) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
