First Confirmed Kill With My GS?

I was sitting on my porch step cleaning the gunk off of my GS after having used it to trim my Bougainvillea bush. A fly kept buzzing my head even though I tried to brush it away several times. I finally swatted the fly with the side of the GS' blade and no more buzzing took place. I tried to find what was left of the fly but it fell in the grass. I think that this side of the blade technique would be effective for controlling pesky bats in the researcher's cave.:confused:

Whoa! You must have a SCARY-fast swing to take out a fly:eek:

Mental note to self for next convention--be really really nice to Bubba;) :D
 
I usually would not harm a fly:D (pun intended), however, in this case it entered my "no fly" zone (another pun intended). Kids, don't try this at home unless you are outside of the house.;)

They are most tasty when breaded and sauteed. A good side dish with charbroiled squirrel's head.
 
Congrats on the confirmed KIA Bubba,

Now, you could get a mess of them and cook them Spanish style... like they do shrimp...

Throw them on a hot griddle till hot, salt them and serve them on a plate with lots of beer. It is fun picking the wings off first, and gives you time to socialize :D

Based upon all of the helpful cooking suggestions from you guys, I tried to duplicate my fly swatter success of the other day by using my garbage can as a major fly attraction. I did get the flies to come around but I was unsuccessful in wacking any of them with either the flat side or cutting edge of the GS. I did succeed in having the mothers of all of the children that were playing across the street from my house bring their kids into their houses (they probably wanted to explain that the old guy swinging the large knife in the air was just doing "research"). It looks like any effort to obtain enough of these critters to make a meal will require a better approach. Anyone have an idea?:confused:

I like that in my friends.;) :p :rolleyes: :cool: :D

Oh and by the way........ If you can get the real pretty large Green ones they are the best since they are almost always found around something dead and cosequently have fed on meat thier entire live's. You can bet your sweet bippies that they dayumed sure don't taste like those bland ones that have spent their entire live's feeding on recycled green vegetable matter.
A good way to capture them is..... naaaww. I'm not going that far. It's still a family oriented forum.;) :p :rolleyes: :D
 
Believe it or not, Yangdu catches the flies who wander into the Titanic with her bare hands -- grabs them right out of the air while they are in flight -- and tosses them back outside thus ruining my chances for fried flies.
 
I believe Uncle!

I have a habit of doing just that, but it usually only works when its spontaneous. When I see the fly just as its passing and make a grab before the thought actually crosses my mind--freaks my wife out! She calls me "mr. miyagi":)

I know for a fact that if I tried it with a khukuri I would hurt myself though!:D :D ;)

Or worse, somebody else!!!!

The yellow jackets are looking for a winter home these days and a few have wandered in. I wonder if they would be as good as flies sauteed?
 
Any of you guys that ate at Yvsa's house for the Konvention starting to wonder what he and Uncle Bill might have REALLY put in the food?!?!:eek: :D :D :p
 
That's why everything tasted so good! A squirrel ran right by us but even with 500 weapons available I still didn't get my charbroiled squirrel head.
 
Bubba,

You want me to get you a taxidermist? The plaque will be very, very, small.
