Oh thanks now I’m hungry for the majority of that cocktail. The edible parts. Why pastrami gotta be so expensive? Lower your prices, Pas. Nobody thinks you’re royalty.
There’s a joint in Portland that makes a pastrami Reuben that’ll kill ya, but it costs something like $300-400, not including the wrapping, bag, and air inside the wrapping and bag.
but apparently the red when you squash a fly is from their eyes and insect blood isn’t red. do fly-vampires drink eye-fluid? or do they just drink mammal blood? if so, how does a fly become a vampire? like you become a vampire when you get bitten or drink vampire blood, so mosquitoes would catch it, but vampires turn into ash when they die so if fly-vampires don’t bite other flies, how would vampirism get into a fly?
Wait, red from smashing a fly? I’ve only seen that from mosquitoes. AKA fly vampires. Apparently some bugs do die in sunlight though. Some scorpions I know of.
I have been bitten by a number of flies, but I am not aware of any that have contracted vampirism in that manner, at least from me. Them green-heads is bloodthirsty enough without any sanguinary curse.
Pastrami is just beef-bacon with a formal education, and also one of the secret determinants of global economy. Did you realize that the American Renaissance period coincided with the highest pastrami-to-population ratio yet known? Such environmental factors can not be entirely dismissed as coincidence.
P.S. The Eurypterids are beautiful, and it is truly a sorrow that they are consigned forever to the Stygian depths.
@ColdFusion some. we have fruit flies that smash red, and they aren’t eating anything red.
@Isto and bugs CAN cross the same river twice.
also sea-spiders pump blood with their intestines, which is kinda vampire-themed.
and it’s common that bugs seduce other bugs to eat them.
I usually have good luck with plums, but I have to let the lady figure out the cantaloupes. I’ve never shopped for tangelos, but I feel your pain with other citrus.

Bern: That’s what’s so weird about that fly religion. They’re much too concerned with the wellbeing of vertebrates.
Cold: A well-placed stake will kill most arthropods.

Reb: Whoa whoa whoa — now you’ve got me wondering: Can one contract vampirism by biting a vampire? Has this been covered in the historical documents?
Also, glad you like ’em! Don’t feel too bad — the Permian mass extinction left Hades with a large and diverse culture.
Bern: I hadn’t thought about that. Mantises are totally vampires!
how do you KNOW the fruit fly hasn’t been eating red fruit, the second best fruit after orange fruit?
Shiiiiiiiit.
What’s the best single fruit here? My vote is plum, followed by cantaloupe and blood orange. That’s a yellow (or red), an orange, and a red.
The real question is whycome fruits gotta be so danged inconsistent? You get a good one, you get three lousy ones. Tangelos are my favorite.
