Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2004Stupid Question of the Day, <WAAAAAAAAAAY OT>
Just opened a box of d-CON, in which there were four smaller boxes. Is it just me, or would anyone else here find it the least bit weird to find maggots (some alive) in the outer box, but none in the inner boxes? I mean, sure, the inner boxes are sealed better, but maggots in d-CON boxes? Are they like buzzards, just waiting for the kill? Hey, I said it was OT. <G>  SignatureDave (I hate those meeces to pieces!)

I've never had any luck with Decon. They take it off and stash it in places for me to find later. Here's what's worked well for me. Take equal parts Corn Meal and Sakrete. Mix them up and put out in various places. They love it. Then of course they get thristy and go (hopefully outside) to get a drink. MOUSE ROCKS! I've found the hardened evidence and it works!

Grits are a poor/working class southern delicacy originally conjured up from feed corn as a substitute for oatmeal. Prepared properly they are a good breakfast food...steer clear of the instant crap, it's kinda like wallpaper paste, only tastes worse <G> > Ah Jeff, OCF, Rick, > Which one of you want to splain what Grits are to "Bill the NewYorker" <G> >From: "Bill Clark" >What's grits?

SignatureDave Lester and the Ain't This The Pits Crew Home of 'Sheba, the Internationally Renowned Studebaker Under Construction http://members.provalue.net/studes/ ah - I grew up in Michgan. Grits were grades of sandpaper. That is until I moved to Georgia in '68. I still remember the stares as I toyed at sweetening the grits that accompanied the eggs I ordered. Once set straight, I grew to like them. Now I fix them about once a week. Either as a partner to eggs OR as a main entree with diced ham or sausage or bacon and onions and cheeze. Man dat be SOME eatin'! > > What's grits? > > Grits is NOT food! >Subject: Re: Stupid Question of the Day, <WAAAAAAAAAAY OT> >From: "Dave's Place" >> What's grits? > >Grits is NOT food! sure they are! and they make a killer turd too! Grits are cooked ground corn. Best served as part of a hearty Southern breakfast with country ham, eggs, fried potatoes, biscuits and coffee (chicory is optional). Both the grits and the biscuits should have plenty of butter. http://www.grits.com/discript.htm Jeff DeWitt >What's grits? > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > LOL I remember like yesterday driving to college in the south and stopping for breakfast, looking at the menu and asking the waitress "What are grits?". "Whats grits??? You don't know whats grits??????????" She announced to the entire establishment that she had some Yankee that had never had grits. She just walked off laughing and mutteirng "What's Grits?" Over the next couple years I grew to like them.

Three of the little > buggers in two nights! > > I've never had any luck with Decon. Reminds me of the grandaddy longleg spider that I recently observed. He had his freshly caught prey (house fly) entagled in the web and the fly had 100% pwr applied trying to break free, if the fly would have been equipped with an EGT gauge I''m sure he was maxing out. Anyway I watched the spider as he would rush in and bite and then back off. He did this several times before the fly gave it up. I guess I'm easily amused but I must have spent 15 minutes watching this show. And my wife says I can't learn anything in the shop......

Critter is enticed to eat, his internal organs rupture and hemmorage.......the end. Sounds like the bait attracted the flies.
