Openly acknowledging one’s foibles can be somewhat liberating. So, through this uncharacteristic dalliance with candor, I’ll admit it; mosquitoes, upon capture, dead or alive, are unmercifully dismembered. There, I said it. Pluck, pluck, pluckity-pluck. Wings, legs, proboscides, and heads methodically detached from bodies. Neither proud nor ashamed, it’s just something I do, unselfishly, for the greater good. You're welcome.
Writing, on the other hand, is a purely selfish endeavor. A self-gratifying indulgence that does not require a tissue.

I admit it, I laughed, agreed and then read thru the rest of your posts and did it all over again. God work!
Thank you loringparks.
Came over from the Pro Blogger website. This title got me to click and the post made me laugh at it's subject yet cry for the poor mosquito.
Well done.
GREAT TITLE...found it through problogger
The title caught my eye. The 'your' in the title should be 'you're' though because it's never having to say you are sorry.
But back to the post, those mosquitoes deserve it, pesky things.
jen at semantically driven... Right you are. Thank you so much for the correction. No idea how I missed that. Guess I was busy :)
Oh, dear...what does it say about ME that this is the first post I clicked from Darren's site??? I laughed out loud and had to pop over to see the bait and switch.
Funny, you are!
Wiser words have never been written! Well done with the title. Besides, creativity is better than sex.
cheers & best of luck with Problogger's contest!
I don't know why I liked this but I did and that means I'll have to stay and poke around a little more. You win!
