OK, does anybody remember "I am Curious Yellow"?

I am thinking of the scene when they go to a clinic because they have crabs, and this old lady uses a paint brush to cover them with disinfectant. That scene has stuck in my mind for some time.

Now we know where Hajj went after being sacked by Reuters.

Here in Central FL we get trucks that fog the neighborhoods for mosquitoes, always have as long as I can remember. Sucks to get stuck behind one in your car, or worse, have one fog you on your bike when you were a kid.

That just about made my day.

Been lurking here for about 2 years now- I suppose it's time I came out ;D

The first post is always the hardest. Welcome!

Mosquito fog/God beard made you come out?

Takes all kinds, I guess...welcome, Carbo! Stick around and piss off some South Beachers for a bit.

Thanks for the welcome :cool:

You were waiting for the Atkins thing to die down, weren't you?
You're safe here. :D

I live in Houston and they do this all the time in the summer here. At night while lying in bed you can hear the truck coming; it has a beeper and flashing lights and they are spraying something to kill the mosquitos. We have air conditioning so I think we are somewhat safe. It does one to wonder if one lone spray machine can actually do anything against hordes of mosquitos. :yeldead: :yeldead: :yeldead:

It works, chris...hard to believe but it helps a lot with the little blood suckers. I sometimes wonder what else it kills, though? :worried:

HA this reminds me of back when I was a tadger and worked as a gaffer. In the 80s and 90s we saw a lot of fog machine action. sometimes for an on camera thing and other times as an off camera light diffuser.

Anyway mineral oil was a common "safe" fog fluid. It would be heated and atomized spreading all over the set. A few lungfuls and five minutes later everyone was rushing to the heads.

Those in the know downloaded first to avoid the rush. Not sure why breathing it had the same laxative effect as drinking it, but it was pretty funny. The first time I saw it happen, my boss set it up and said "watch this."

Emptied the set for about 20 minutes.
