No....This is hilarious stuff, Bill. I am jealous.<br /><br />No. I am more than jealous. I am outraged that you can write this hilarious stuff.<br /><br />No. I am more than outraged. I am inflamed with a white-hot inflamed-ness that you have the talent to talk about insects in such a jejune, yet informed, way.<br /><br />This is hilarious stuff, Bill.Rick Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846018585978997261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-26981194727636224052009-06-29T12:08:31.947-04:002009-06-29T12:08:31.947-04:00Say it loud, I'm black ant and I'm proud!Say it loud, I'm black ant and I'm proud!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730000155687661753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-78252411086467466192009-06-29T11:49:15.260-04:002009-06-29T11:49:15.260-04:00I wave my flyswatter in your general direction, Dr...I wave my flyswatter in your general direction, Dr Billy.

Insects cannot harmm you, but do you know what can? Abuse. Abuse meted out by a deranged and drunken lunatic who would rather you remained in your box all day than go outside and live your own life.<br /><br />I worry about you, Jarvis. Every day. Please don't hestitate to contact me the next time Greg hits you. And he <i>will</i> do it again.<br /><br />Your friend,<br /><br />Bill R.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-76390647007319489332009-06-27T12:38:49.082-04:002009-06-27T12:38:49.082-04:00Dear Bill,

He says, "It's just a bug, moron," before he squashes it and says, "God, Jarvis, why are you such a loser?"<br /><br />I do not want to offend Greg so I am happy that I found this. Your beautiful pictures of insects have allayed all my fears of them and now I can tell Greg that I am no longer afraid of insects thanks to Bill. You are wonderful but I admit I am not gay for you like Krauthammer. Thank you again.JARVIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443810760213771701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-31627238582659280172009-06-27T11:48:03.083-04:002009-06-27T11:48:03.083-04:00Indeed we are, Ryan.

Not with their <i>mouths</i> of course -- LOL! -- because let's be serious. No, they spoke to me, I believe, with their souls. And they said, "You must speak for us. You must carry a message of peace and unity to your human brethren." And that is what I've tried to do here.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-19893145913015671902009-06-27T11:45:01.344-04:002009-06-27T11:45:01.344-04:00Bill, I think that spirituality carries over to yo...Bill, I think that spirituality carries over to your audience--- looking at those exquisite paintings was almost an out-of-body experience. It details nature from the cosmic and micro-cosmic point of view, and has made me realize that we are all one: mind, body, and spirit.Ryan Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054550377681273142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-49336058776017128992009-06-27T11:29:21.023-04:002009-06-27T11:29:21.023-04:00Krauthammer - Thank you.

Currently, as an artist, I'm in my "photorealistic" stage, so I went out into nature and sketched these insects from life. It was quite a spiritual time for me.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-218004874680063662009-06-27T10:33:36.231-04:002009-06-27T10:33:36.231-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Ryan Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054550377681273142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-48746245472557765822009-06-27T10:32:55.501-04:002009-06-27T10:32:55.501-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ryan Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054550377681273142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-46743115690874660042009-06-27T03:52:55.529-04:002009-06-27T03:52:55.529-04:00I love you.I love you.Krauthammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579174548781288062noreply@blogger.com
