How to Make Bugs Breakdance
|
||
By: The Daredevil
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hello, name's Daredevil. I am about to present you with step by step
|
||
instructions on how to make insects and such to dance around like Michael
|
||
Jackson. Havoc Chaos and I figured this out while over at Havoc's home. Bugs
|
||
can breakdance, despite popular belief!
|
||
|
||
The first thing you will need is a neat pair of tweezers. Their use will
|
||
become obvious later in this SoftDoc. While tweezers work best, I also
|
||
recommend scissors and (oops.) exacto-knives for those without shaky hands.
|
||
|
||
The next thing you will need is a bug. I highly recommend flies, as they are
|
||
abundant, and nobody really misses them. Some people get angry if you use
|
||
insects like spiders or crickets. (Don't ask me, darn those enviromentalists.)
|
||
|
||
Flies can be found around window sills, fresh meat, or any beer-guzzling
|
||
father. They are pretty much easy to trap, but the catch is that you'll need
|
||
them alive. Fly swatters and newspapers should not be used to catch these
|
||
little buggers. Horse flies also are not recommended, as they are supposed to
|
||
bite. (Hey, i've never been bitten. If you have, send me E-Mail, okay? -DD)
|
||
The common house fly works best.
|
||
|
||
Now, capturing these pests alive is the thing. Get a glass or something, and
|
||
trap it. Wait a while, and watch it fly feebly around the jar looking for a way
|
||
out. If you're smarter than you look, it won't get out. It's real fun to shake
|
||
the jar and stun the sucker.
|
||
|
||
Take the fly from the jar with a 'kleenex' or something of the like, and hold
|
||
it so it's pitiful wings are accessable to you. Now, with the tweezers I
|
||
mentioned above, pull his wings off.
|
||
|
||
(AUTHORS NOTE: Some lesser minds have accually called me 'sadistic' because
|
||
of the fact that I pull flies wings off. Well, you don't hear them complaining,
|
||
do you? -DD)
|
||
|
||
Anyways, now that his wings are gone, all he can do is hop and run around like
|
||
a complete fool. Now, here's the fun part.(What do you mean, pulling the wings
|
||
off was the fun part!?)
|
||
|
||
The first trick is to teach it the backspin. Put your new-found pet in the
|
||
(a) corner in your room. The fly will then attempt to climb the wall. But, the
|
||
poor, pitiful creature won't make it. He will fall to the dusty floor onto his
|
||
back. This is where you come in. If he isn't spinning around, then give him a
|
||
little help. They will be back-spinning in no time at all!
|
||
|
||
You'll notice that flies without wings jump around a lot. This really looks
|
||
like a neat act, and they can really jump far. (Coming next: Fly Olympics?
|
||
Nahhh...)
|
||
|
||
My favorite trick is to get a paper plate(You know, the cheap ones your mother
|
||
buys from K-Mart...) and put your friend on top of the plate. Bounce him up and
|
||
down on the plate, and watch him attempt to walk afterwards. It's really neat.
|
||
|
||
Well, this is just about all of the neat little tricks you can do with bugs.
|
||
You can take up boring Sunday afternoons with this pasttime, and maybe we'll se
|
||
a breakdancing bugs contest one of these days. Maybe not.
|
||
|
||
(ANOTHER AUTHOR'S NOTE: Lord Omega of Shadow Keep BBS suggests to spray them
|
||
with 'Windex' and other household items. They really get weird, according to
|
||
him.)
|
||
|
||
I just also wanted to point out that Havoc the Chaos's Stepmother warned us
|
||
that pulling wings off of flies was beginning signs of insanity. We are not in
|
||
ANY way responsible for people's sanity, after they take up this sport. It was
|
||
rumored that Charles Manson liked to play with flies...
