My Day

Just wondering what other kind of arse there is ??!!!!

You should checkout MSNBC, or Fox news ;^)

Just got back from Walmart and got my eyes checked, and two new pair of glasses; one of them sun to replace the ones I just lost. I'm now $368 poorer, and that was *after* the discount. That was more than I was expecting. Oh well, I hope they work out. I'm trying a different type of sunglass. They stick close to the face, and wrap around a bit. Never had that kind before, but they feel like they'll hold on better, and hopefully block out more of that bad ol' sol.

Maybe they are the same thing. Wikipedia says, "Yellow jacket is the common name in North America for predatory wasps of the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula. Members of these genera are known simply as "wasps" in other English-speaking countries."

The wasps we have are larger and have a "droopy" appearance in flight. Here is a red wasp:

I get it now. We don't get those dangly rear arsed things. Just zillions of what you call yellow jackets which we call just wasps.

I've been swarmed by both - wasps and yellow jackets. Trust me, wasp stings hurt a hell of alot more then yellow jackets.

That yellow jacket looks like a standard wasp. Is there a difference?

Those look hideous. Burn them with fire.

Good idea! I use this stuff (shoots a stream 15 feet), but I've never tried holding a Bic lighter in front of it. Might make a great flamethrower. Maybe not on the eaves.

Agreed!

It's a kind of wasp, but over here, that name is usually reserved for the paper wasp. They're the ones with a dangly rear legs, and build open combs in the corner of houses and things.

Just look at them! Only evil in their eyes! Pure hatred and resentment in their bodies!

Wasps are the meth addict cousins of bees!! They just fly around all day smoking meth and pissing people off, then smoke weed in the evenings!

bees are cool, wasps are not!

Do you mean paper wasps are yellow jackets?

Yellow jackets are fiendish little creatures. They live in a hole in the ground and attack in mass. A friend of mine got stung over 20 times and required a trip to the hospital. The worst sting I ever had was a from a yellow jacket.

I disagree! The worst sting comes from a wasp.

I tried progressive glasses and couldnt get on with them so I now have two pairs..one for distance and one for reading. Im much happier with this set up. I can read anything at arms length with my distance glasses so its not too much bother.

Bees don't worry me too much...don't know what kind you've got over there though. I like bees because they play fair. Hornets on the other hand terrify me and I wouldn't be anywhere near a nest. They have lookout guards at the nest to signal danger to the rest of the nest....then it's a whole world of pain if not death. I've heard of yellow jackets and they sound nasty too. Luckily we don't get them here...just the standard annoying European wasp that won't just p*as off when you're outside in September.
