Yeah, ain't it weird? My neighbors give me the strangest looks when I
pollinate my flowers - hovering above my plants dressed in a black and
yellow striped suit, flapping my arms as fast as possible, making buzzing
noises, and sticking my tongue deep into the flowers. Sometimes, for a
cheap thrill, just tasting the nectar on the traps themselves...flirting
with certain death just gives me this rush! Just trying to make it
natural for them, you know, but people in my neighborhood are just so
*conventional*. And they *better* not call the psychiatric workers,
'cause I'll sting em if they come!
