Invasion of the Cajun mosquitoes

Posted on June 9th, 2008 in Cool Finds, Funnies

The following piece graciously donated by my mother-in-law via my wife.

Anyone that has ever been to the south knows that you can always count on a few things when you are there. One is the hospitality. I mean you can literally have a two hour conversation with a complete stranger and actually feel at home doing it.

Another thing you can count on is the food. It will always be fattening and it will always be delicious. No matter what you are eating, it will just be good eats. Its the south, so you can count on it.

One thing that I can speak of from experience is the state bird of Louisiana. No, I am not talking about the Brown Pelican. I am talking about the mosquito.

Those little buggers are the size of the airplanes that fly you from Fort Worth to Lafayette. They are big, strong, aggressive and relentless. They don’t back down and when you finally smack one of them into oblivion, five of his cousins come back for you.

So it was no wonder that this footage spoke to me as loudly as it did. I have never seen this before, but it does not surprise me. How much farther will this torment known as the mosquito go?

  1. Maybe we should draft that bug into the army!

  2. That was awesome. :)

    I can see the news reports now:

    After repeated failed attempts at a successful military offensive the United States Army has decided to break out the heavy artillery.
    Mosquitoes, reportedly drawn from the Bay Area, very close to where the Barry Bonds steroid supplier BALCO labs is located, are being called in to neutralize the enemy in a last ditch effort to win the war. Said one military official who wishes to remain anonymous “We hate to have to dig this deep, and we don’t really want to unleash this hell fire on humanity, but what else can we do?”.

    Only time will tell if the enemy stands a chance.

    Honestly, when I watched that video I could not stop laughing. I had to watch it like three times to get my fix.
