Sounds like your house is going to turn into swiss cheese. More holes for the crittters to hide in

Much more fun than the spray.

the doctor term is an "aortic disection". It's only a 3% survival rate nationwide from that. It was dumb luck that they flew me to the one hospital in MN capable of dealing with it. What does it all mean?

The trauma ripped the aorta right off my heart, and during the heart surgery no oxygen went to my spine and I was subsequently paralyzed. Don't do that twice!

There are very few tracks in MN, and even fewer that have handicapped accessible drivers stands, so I just bash. In fact, the closest acccessible track to me is in Wisconsin.

I think I need an airsoft sniper rifle for my problem!

Are you talking about cheesecity extreme raceway in greenbay?

nah, one in New Richmond. Some cool old guy with a lot of land. He doesn't even r/c, he just has an on-road track an off-road track and a runway for the flyboys

+1 for the airsoft sniper. I got one hanging on a wall, with loaded clips right next to it. I bought a bigass hunting scope to put on there as well. It's a little on the heavier side, weighing around 11 lbs, but with the bipod etc. you dont really know. I'd recommend it for those creepy crawlies, except that I have embedded plastic BBs into the drywall in my house from a good 50 ft away. Mabye if someone sells a .03 gram BB it would just bounce around your room

For the typical creepy-crawlies, I would just get a Nerf gun and modify it for more power. Would be plenty to squash the bugs, but not enough to damage stuff. Plus, the larger projectiles would make it easier to hit the little buggers.

And get one of those mechanical arms to pick up the darts, he can't exactly bend over to pick them up.

If you have enough ammo what needs to pick them up ?

_paralyzed_ · 08.31.2009, 09:06 PM

I like the nerf gun! I stayed up reading about centipedes and spiders and their behaviors and habitats and don't think they really bother me anymore. (you're only afraid of things you don't know about) I'm still checking my shoes from now on though!

Did you read about the Giant African Millipede ?

As a pet!?? No thanks. Why?? Go home at night and snuggle up with your millipede? It takes all kinds.........

i like the idea of that spring-loaded fly swatter. if it is too weak, just head down to lowes or home depot and get a thicker spring and you will have yourself a fly (or millipede) sniper.

Yeah, most creepy/crawlies generally leave you alone. Unless of course, you stuff an appendage where they happen to be snoozing. Then they understandably tend to react, much to the chagrin of the owner of the appendage. Just gotta remember that whatever they do is instinct.
