You know, the ones that keep buzzing around and around and eluding the hand of doom. [Wall Bash]

I doubt you hate them as much as my friend Ingrid. For her first-year biology lab, she was required to breed them in a jar, and keep track of how many there were. An interesting experiment, in a way, but possibly better suited to a psychology lab.

Come to think of it...

My mom was up this weekend and remembered us going to an orchard to get pears last year, but I didn't remember when. Are pears in season? We're probably a couple of weeks behind you guys, though.

I also hate fruit flies. *grin* They always come in droves whenever I let my bananas ripen too much. They're a sign that I really need to make banana bread, though, which I guess is a good thing. [Wink]

I don't mind fruit flies...
They aren't those hideous creatures I hate so much I can't even type their name without itching. [Angst]

Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.
