Woody Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 What do you do with the problem of fly splatter? We recently had a rash of flies. I took a fly swatter and squashed them on the wall. We then had the issue of what to do with the issue of the flies on the wall. The following regarding what I did was a stroke of genius I thought. In fact ... I might patent it. Yes, I went down to the Hardware Store and purchased a can of spray paint. I buried those pesky flies with spray paint and it worked out SUPER. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Outta Here Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I'm surprised you didn't lick them off the wall, Woody--what with your genius mind! Quote
Dottie Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Is the wall as smooth as it had been, or is it now bumpy? Quote
ChildofChrist Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Yes, washing the walls would have been better. They even have an eraser that you use dry to remove 'stuff' off of walls and doors. BTW Did your paint match the original color? Quote Wakan Tanka Kici Un ~~Child of Christ~~
GreatLakesGramma Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Woody, I can NOT believe your wife is going to let you get away with such a stunt. If it were me, believe me, you would be in the dog house BIG TIME right now! Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
Liz Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I take it that you already had paint on the walls? Not wallpaper or anything? Did you match the spray paint with the original on the walls? You sure you don't live in a trailer park? I swear that's what some of my neighbors would do. Quote For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?

GreatLakesGramma Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Even my husband, who I have to clean up after all the time, scowled in disgust when I told him what you did, Woody.

Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 Cleaning the walls would have been easier. Yes, but not nearly as inventive. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 Is the wall as smooth as it had been, or is it now bumpy? No. But it has some unique and rich texture to it that it didn't before.

Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 I take it that you already had paint on the walls? Not wallpaper or anything? Did you match the spray paint with the original on the walls? Well ... I can make no guarantee about a color match. As I've confessed before ... I'm color blind. But the paint I used was white. I had to do several coats to cover the black flies.

Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 WOODY wow you got a lot of response to this idea dgrimm60 Yes dgrimm. I have. But so far not many are supportive of me. Surely you'll come around for me. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Outta Here Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Woody, is this something you seriously did? Or, are you "pulling our leg"? Quote
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted August 22, 2010 Members Posted August 22, 2010 Woody, is this something you seriously did? Or, are you "pulling our leg"? Does it really matter? Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 Woody, is this something you seriously did? Or, are you "pulling our leg"? Okay since you asked. This was meant to be comedy or humor. At the same time it has an element of truth. As many of you know ... I enjoy putting my worst foot forward so to speak. It gives us something to talk about during 'dry' times. HA HA. The rest of the story is that this actually did happen but I provided some embellishments. As Liz suggested ... this was kinda a trailer story. It actually did happen in my trailer. I was in the process of spray painting the wall of my trailor where there was a stain. We went camping and had lots of flies visit as does happen when one goes camping. When we got home I tried to finish the painting but the fly spots got in the way . I was going to wash them off first but didn't think they were in the way. Well ... they got painted anyways. I still need to go and wash off them flies. But the paint didn't help my chore. Now you know the rest of the story. So is the story truth or fiction? I would pick truth with a little fiction.

Guest Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Woody you need to come to the Holbrook school of painless killing. With my Karate, Jui Jitsui, Kung Fu, and other skills that I won't speak of here, I can, with fly swatter in one hand, and outstretched fist on the other hand. With one lightning fast fluid motion, smack the fly with the fly swatter, and withdraw all at the same time. So that it kills the fly instantly, without smashing him against the wall. The fly never feels a thing. He dies without ever knowing what hit him, and simply drops to the floor. There he can be vacuumed up later on. Quote
Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 You're hired. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Guest Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 PS: You do have to forcefully exhale with a gutteral sound similar to the one Bruce Lee used to make, at precisely the right moment. But this too can be learned at the Holbrook School of Painless Killing. Quote
Woody Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 Does Momma know you're a killer? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Guest Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 She too, is a painless killer. Although she hasn't mastered the painless part yet. Quote
Woody Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 Today I plan to wash off the fly splatter folks. Just thought you would like to know. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
