1500 Live Lady Bugs....I don't want to talk about it.
Yet you made a thread about it?
-
This thread is now about contradictions.
-
I wish someone would send me 1500 ladybugs. :-(
-
Shuuuush. We're not talking about the ladybugs! Pay attention, Dove!
-
For the time being this thread is about trying to figure out why they're called ladybirds or ladybugs when they're clearly neither a bird nor a bug, but a beetle.
Damn, and me 700 kilometres from my Shorter Oxford English Dictionary.
-
Actually they're called coccinellidae, or atleast thats their family name.
And this is how they do it.

This thread is now about close-up photography of bugs fuckin'
-
Isn't there enough bugfucking going on in this forum without dedicating a whole thread to it?
-
Did somebody say bug fuckin'?

Screw all you guys derailing this.
HammyDavisJr you clearly want to talk about this. I'm very curious as to why someone would send you that.
-
Ladybugs are good for gardens as pest control.

HammyDavisJr you clearly want to talk about this.
I don't want to talk about it.
:?
-
I seriously wish I got things in the mail interesting enough to top a box of ladybugs, but all I've got here at work is a mystery brown box and a book called "The Backyard Lumberjack"
-
:?
Lets look at his reasoning.
HammyDavisJr "I don't really want to talk about this, I guess an Internet forum is probably the best place to put this."
Now if he really does think that people are just going to leave this, this can be a lesson in how the internet works.
Edit: Ok Ok we aren't talking about this.

Send a fan letter to Chuck Palahniuk, he's famous for sending boxes of random and strange things in reply.

See, the problem there is that I am not actually a fan of his work!
Mostly I want an odd thing from the mail so I can add it to this thread and people will stop being bitches and just go ahead and post silly mailed things instead of stomping all over this thread idea.

Perhaps a resurrection of the old Pen Pals thread from days of old, with a new theme of silliness? I'm game!
-
Hey if there is one thing I have access to at work, it's mailing supplies. Anyone want me to mail them some assorted BS?
-
If you have the time and inclination I could use a copy of the I-ching. Plus its been ages since I got anything through the mail.

Oh. My goodness. I would be good at this game. So good at it.
-
Let's do this thing...
(PM me yr address if you want, I'm so down for this!)
-
I had no idea that bugs fucked! I mean I guess it makes sense and all but I guess I just thought they produced some other way? I don't know I'm silly.
-
We spent several days discussing how bugs fuck in an evolutionary biology class I took. Did you know that bugs have lots of methods to make sure another bug doesn't bugger their lady bug after them? SOME OF THESE WAYS INVOLVE BREAKING OFF THEIR BUG-DICK INSIDE HER SO ANOTHER DUDE CAN'T ACCESS THAT SHIT
I am so glad I'm not a ladybug.
-
Bug sex is freaky but it least it ain't arachnid sex i.e; frequently fatal
-
Are we still discussing being pen pals or is this all about the finer points of sex within the insect world?
Because I'm up for both.
-
Only if you will be my pen pal, Ryan.
;)
-
Did anyone else read the first post and instantly want to eat some spaghetti?
-
Today we have a lovely Fettuccini medley with 1500 ladybugs. It's garnished with a sponge for some reason.
Also for your dining enjoyment we will show you random pictures of bugs fucking each other during your meal.
Bon appetit

They break it off. It might as well be, unless it grows back. Even then, that would hurt like hell.
-
maybe it's just detachable. he can get it back when the lady comes to term.
-
I believe that does in fact happen with drones in at least a few ant species. They do in fact die afterwards.
-
I have an electron micrograph of a beetle penis somewhere. It's pretty hectic.
-
Found it!

Damn, and me 700 kilometres from my Shorter Oxford English Dictionary.
Apparently it comes from the phrase "our lady's bird", the red representing Mary's cloak and the seven spots representing her seven sorrows and virtues. Apparently the naming comes from the middle ages, which would account for it not being terribly accurate when it comes to classification since it's been mangled a lot over the years. Maybe someone just thought "our lady's beetle" just didn't sound right. Apparently entomologists refer to them as ladybird beetles so at least somebody's getting it right, and these are people for whom looking at pictures of bugs fucking is a legitimate workplace activity. Anyone choosing a career on that basis is a person I can get behind.
-
Man that is not how you make spaghetti. Ya'll eating pasta and bugs off your floor. Ya'll gross.
-
This thread confuses and scares me.
-
I wonder how you count out that many ladybugs?

We call them "ladybugs" because it probably started out as ladybird but someone pointed out along the way that they are not, in fact, birds, but are bugs, just like every other air-breathing creature with more than 4 legs. Spiders are bugs, centipedes are bugs, ants are bugs, ladybugs are bugs, etc.

Good lorf, at first that looked like a spiky llama

A bug is an insect that can suck. This is a true fact (courtesy of QI)
-
You mean these guys? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera)
-
You know what I haven't gotten in the mail? My new enhanced driver's license so I can go to the States. :x
Also: bugfucking

This is true. If we're going to be proper and correct and technical about this then ladybugs are not bugs, they are beetles. Bugs and beetles are different kinds of insects. It's like calling a wasp an ant: sure, they're not a million miles apart, but one is not the same as the other.
Also I've heard that ladybugs/birds/beetles aren't ladies at all. I've heard they're straight up hussies and always spread vicious rumours about each other behind each other's backs.

maybe he hums/sings Detachable Penis by King Missile while he climaxes and break his penis off?
I'll be someone's pen pal :)

Guys, if you want to participate in the "Weird Shit By Mail" pen pals deal, post here. No addresses, just where you're from, so we're not having Aussies matched up with Canucks and such...I'll try to match up people from the same countries so shipping doesn't go apeshit insane.
Participants:
Will (USA)
allison/philhar (Canada, matched!)
tinysmidgen (?)
Misconception (USA)
Who else wants in on this?
-
I'm just going to throw it out there that I don't really mind paying postage, no matter where y'alls from.
-
I will pay postage to other countries if my pen pal is WICKED AWESOME.
Otherwise, I am Liz of the U.S.A.
-
Robbie of Scotland, post me your things!
-
I like post, and I'm in the UK.
-
I'm sorry, beetles do the dirty with that?
-
I'm tentatively in! May from England.
-
Bug sex is freaky but it least it ain't arachnid sex i.e; frequently fatal
Most spiders have a special set of "penis legs" that look like thick pom-poms near the mandibles of the creature, easily distinguishing males from females. The males eject sperm onto the penis legs and rub them on the vaginal opening of the female. Essentially pregnancy by fingering.

Also, insects are fucking kinky.
-
I'll participate if y'all don't mind getting a broken-off penis
-
Anyone willing to mail me stuff in Jamaica? I promise I won't send weed (unless you ask).
-
I'll participate if y'all don't mind getting a broken-off penis
Which would be worse, getting a broken-off penis or one still attached?
-
after reading this thread I've come to the conclusion that bugs are way more hardcore than I first thought.
-

just mailed it out...regular lettermail. Even though the chart at the post office says 3 to 5 days I expect it'll take 4 to 6 weeks. (then you will not be mad if it comes in 7 to 14 days) or perhaps i just looked at the wrong part of the chart.
-
