If The Matrix really wanted people to play its game,

it'd write mosquitoes out of the equation. No need to go for a Perfect World scenario; people would willingly embrace its fictions in a heartbeat if there were NO FRICKIN' MOSQUITOES.

That is all.

Remember... according to the Matrix, we define ourselves by our misery. So... apparently your corner of the Matrix is the mosquito corner.

I'm not so sure this counts as misery. This is more the induction of rage. Perhaps the machines are counting on me to get frothed up about my itching so as to put off more body heat.

bitches.

Are you complaining about your state bird?

Mosquitos: one reason why I love fall and winter.

I'm a Long Islander. I'm *supposed* to make fun of New Jersey!

Truth.

Especially mutant fucking mosquitos with inch-long bodies that trap you in your house for three hours by lurking outside your door and divebombing you when you attempt to leave and making you late for work.

No, no, he's quite right. The New Jersey mosquito is our state bird, Eastern Goldfinch notwithstanding. As a matter of fact, if I recall aright the oldest fossil mosquito ever dug up was found in modern New Jersey. We've had biting insects here for at least 90 million years - the Sayreville amber deposits were very popular insect sources for the American Museum of National History.

That doesn't make the little bitches any more likable. I'm just sayin' they've been our problem since the dawn of time.

When I go to Alaska, I'm bringin' a bottle of pure DEET and a big-ass flamethrower.

And ain't it funny...

..that only the female mosquitoes consume blood?


Um, not that I have any idea what relevance this has to anything, but I thought I would add it anyway.

Oh, and I hate them too. But you know what's worse? Jiggers! Jiggers are worse than mosquitoes because you can't see the little bastards. Oh, and Flying Frickin' Teeth! Those hurt!
