Global mega ant apocalypse!

Categories: Not the Onion
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted blog personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves....

when ants come into my house uninvited, I try my best to quickly crush them out of existence.
it seems that if I don't, they go off and tell their friends and then the problem gets even worse.
of course, I do have mixed feelings about my slaughter of those ants.
but then again I think of how many humans are crushed out of existence by Nature on a daily basis.
so, IF there is a God (and of course there is no good solid evidence for the reality of such an obviously Imaginary Being), I figure there's some precedent set where if God has established that Nature can slaughter us, then I seem to see validation in my slaughter of those ants.
faith hope love joy peace to all...
though...
beware the coming Winter and its Great Depression 2...
some of us may not survive, though the Ants surely will...
way to go, Absent God...
but gotta forgive "Him"...
just hope "He" is not some giant divine ant...
ya know?
There are a few things we could learn from the ants, community service, team work, hard work and much more
"When an ant gets in your way, step on it."
Er . . . yes, DominicT, we could also learn that all those good things come about in a colony ruled by a queen and predominantly composed of non-reproducing females, with a very limited role for males--sometimes none at all, as there are Amazonian ants who apparently reproduce by cloning. Make of that what moral lesson you will, would-be Aesops.
The real question is are the ants throw their lot in with the West and buy US T-bills? Ants are by nature communists, so initially I thought they would align with the Chinese. But they're from the Western hemisphere and all politics is ultimately local.
The earliest memory I have is when I was about 2 years old and being backed into a corner of our "mud room" back porch with a little cluster of ants all around me, crying, and one of them biting my foot. My mom came and rescued me.
Little did I know this was a prophetic warning of the coming doom.
I'm not worried. I've got the World's Biggest Magnifying Glass and two cans of Raid, so bring it, ant-boys !!
Bwahahaha !
Your servant,
Lord Karth
The only 'Ant' I want is Adam.
