What's Bugging Me & Calling Out Craft Beer Craziness!
Picture this. You wake up one sunny morning, pull open your curtains to greet the day, and this is right in your face...
Hello there!
How am I supposed to interpret that?, I thought as I scurried out of my bedroom and went about my day. A couple of hours later I returned only to find this giant, mosquito-looking thing still clinging to my window. Clearly plotting my demise. I grabbed my camera and started filming. I figured this would give the detectives a good lead after they find my bloated corpse.
Want a hug?
Analyzing my pictures, the first thing I noticed was the sinister stinger at the end of it's rather long abdomen. With goosebumps going up and down my arms, I frantically pulled up my search engine and went about learning as much as I could about this mortal enemy of mine.
I found out what it is. A crane fly. That didn't sound too dangerous. But, how much venom was in that stinger? Turns out, none at all. In fact, that isn't even a stinger. It's a hollow tube that female crane flies use to dispense their eggs.
See, this was nothing more than a harmless, female crane fly looking into my bedroom window while searching for a mate. Nothing creepy or disturbing about that. Right?
Have We Gone too Far?
Recently, I was perusing the beer section of my local supermarket when I came upon the following...
That's four, 12 ounce bottles for $40. Okay, the alcohol content is 17.3%. So, one bottle would be enough for most people to be nicely buzzed. But, what if it tastes horrible? Bad-tasting beer is simply undrinkable. You can cover up bad liquor by mixing it. Bad beer just goes to waste.
So, I would never consider paying this much for a beer that I have not tasted. It's simply not worth the risk. Especially when there are so many other options that I know I like.
And, that unit price is no accident. There are some evil forces at play here, for sure. 😈

I feel another sequel to "The Fly" needs to be made. A lady crane fly melds with a hapless grocery store clerk who stalks the aisles for a mate, stopping only to guzzle $40 suds. 😱😆 (With a special cameo by Jeff Goldblum via flashback, of course. 😉🍻)
