I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Ants are effing amazing. I recently videotaped some of those little fuckers negotiating a giant piece of a wafer cookie through a vertical opening I made in a wall outside my hotel room in Mexico with my checkbook propped up with a piece of plastic deck furniture. You wish your life was as exciting as mine.
Welcome to my website and personal playground, where I've been publishing thoughts and random creations since the late 90s. These days I work at Hearst Digital Media in New York City. I also recently created the first pay-per-character publishing platform, Bitcoin Megaphone. See more of my work at solomania.com.

Little bastards are cohesive. You wanna really test them, see how long they can swim, at some point or another they’ll stop moving those little arms of theres. At my job, as a lifeguard i have access to chemicals and of course being the weirdo i am, i mixed granular chlorine with muriatic acid, when mixed they create an dangerous acid that burns violently, poor ants where dead on contact.

Kidding bro.. Kind of cool. Why were you doing THIS in mexico bro? Maybe go surfing or take in a donkey show or something?

Checkbook? I thought mexicans only dealt in either hardcash and/or drugs? Had you blocked the wall with a bale of cheech i bet they would have eaten the cookies al fresco.
