We here at Candy Smokes have been engaged in a long running (and occasionally heated) debate… not about politics, not about religion but a debate about an inter-species war between bugs and humans.

Hopefully you can help us come to some sort of resolution on this issue.

This is how we are framing the debate:

• Simultaneously, every bug on the planet turns against humankind and actively does everything within its power to eradicate humans
• Besides their blood-lust for humans, bugs gain no other powers than they already possess (i.e. they cannot communicate outside their normal means… like with bugs of different varieties)

So what do you think? Who would win? Vote using the poll below and if you want to explain your pick please use the comments section of this post.

Apparently the last time I bought airline tickets I must’ve mistakenly signed up for a newsletter because I’ve been getting spammed from the site I used.

Like anyone else, I’m annoyed by spam but these emails really irk me. Why? Well because they include domestic flights that don’t involve the city in which I live… so they are totally effing useless.

Sweet! A bunch of flights from places I don’t live to places I don’t want to travel.

Let’s say that I wanted to take advantage of the ‘cheap’ flight from Philadelphia to Boston. Well, since I live in Milwaukee that means I’d have to first get to Philly. So I’ll either need to drive 309 miles or fly for $188 (which was the cheapest flight I found) just so I could hop on the ‘cheap’ flight to Boston for another $188. This means that I’d either have to drive twice as far as my ‘cheap’ flight or spend a total of $376 to get to Boston instead of a direct flight for only $163. Awesome.

Umm… I don’t think this photo needs much of an introduction but I was a little surprised to see this fellow painted in a mural on the wall of the mens’ room in a Mexican restaurant. Seriously. What is going on here?

Oh, and to the guy that caught me taking this picture in the restroom I apologize again. I bet when I told you that I was just taking a picture ‘for my web site’ you thought it was going to be something completely different.

At least that’s what I assume after visiting a Burger King near work. They renovated since my last visit and replaced the kid’s play area (you know… slides, plastic balls and shit) with a conference room. No really. A conference room. In a Burger King.

Who the hell would go to a Burger King for any meeting of importance that would require a half dozen tables with tabletop outlets for laptops?

Maybe they have some really affluent clientele who enjoy ’slumming’ and not being recognized. Could it be that this guy is preparing to do some international commodity trading over a Whopper Jr. value meal and last month’s Auto Mart magazine?

I just don’t get it. This isn’t exactly ghetto tigers territory but it’s not Wall Street so why the hell would a Burger King need to provide meeting space? Maybe I’ll have to start subscribing to Forbes and see if I recognize anyone eating there.
