I'm a professional male fire ant castrator for hire. I'm trying to eradicate the species one fire ant at a time without the use of harsh chemicals that can harm the environment.
My part time job involves putting those plastic ends on shoe laces...by hand. I feel the craft has suffered due to automation so I decided to resurrect the craft of hand placing aglets on shoe strings.

Magnifying glass and tweezers? Sounds tedious.

I would too, I hate those things as does everyone else. Does this involve an application of a natural non-toxic (to humans) pesticide product?

Nope, snip their wieners and get them banned from the colony by the queen. But seriously, I hope they get more tolerant of freezing weather and continue expanding northward. I really want my friends in NY to experience them the way we have to. Right now I can only describe what they are missing. Oh yeah, I like the overall height and the façade and lack of a parking podium....the roof top observation deck for checking out the planes, the idea of a museum district, capping I35, I agree, light the damn crown, when are they going to break ground on the stadium...what freakin thread am I on???me................
