Okay, does this creep anyone else out besides me? This is in my back yard up in the top of the oak tree. I went upstairs to tell my landlord about it and he was like..."yeah, isn't that cool?" In my head I said, "have you seen the movie My Girl?"...obviously he hasn't. Let's just say I won't be going out in my back yard in the near future.

yikes...i am never coming to visit
One time, a "guy I know" had just moved into his new house, and was going around the house knocking down a couple of small wasp nests with an old 7-foot-long piece of baseboard trim.
There were no problems with the first two nests he knocked down, and he got sort of confident that this was a really good pest control technique.
So "this guy" went to the next nest, which was slightly larger. He knocked it down, with the same effect. It looked like no angry wasps were coming at him or anything, but as he was backing away, he noticed a wasp on his arm, and brushed it away. The wasp promptly stung this "guy I know" on the bottom lip, causing him to run away, but he didn't even realize he was running until he tripped over something in the yard and fell down.
It was sort of like a scene out of a looney toons cartoon or something. Hopefully the neighbors didn't see this whole fiasco, because that "guy I know" looked like a bit of an idiot. Oh, and the right side of his lip was really swollen for about half of the day. Man, was that guy a dumbcrap, or what?
wow mg, tell "this guy" you know that that really sucks. it's too bad "this guy's" wife didn't have her camera ready to take pictues and then blog about it, because even though its kind of sad...it's pretty funny too. Although if it happened to be I would not think it was funny at all, infact I would prbably be terribly frightened, like my my worst nightmare had come to life.
That is totally freaky. I think I would just have to move.
At first, I couldn't tell what it was. It looked like an orangutan butt, so, yea, I was freaked out. Then I saw it was only a wasp nest, then I thought, compared to wild beasts, this is nothing. Then I thought, do you have oragutans in Salt Lake? I'm going to stop thinking now.
Oh, yuck - that totally freaks me out. Let me know when it's gone and then we'll come visit again.
I second the comment that I thought it was an orangutan's butt! I was relieved to see that it was just a beehive....as creepy as that is.
Oh, and I like your new bloggie colors :)
I'm sorry.. but I was ALSO thinking it was an orangutan butt!!! OH MY GOODNESS. That is craziness! Before I blew up the picture I was thinking why is she calmly taking a picture of a wild animal in her backyard??! But, yes, I will agree with you, I would NOT be fond of that in my backyard. NO WAY. Nor would I be fond of an orangutan either. Ya know, in case you were wondering.
Hey - we both just left a comment on eachother's blog at the SAME TIME. (It only says a different time because we have an hour time difference..) CRAZY :) love you!
i thought it was a monkey too. i had to enlarge the picture to see that it was a large oragami wasps nest...
what is it with the oranotang butt? I guess I could see that. you guys are funny. but i would much rather a wild animal in my back yard than a wasp nest!
Ok, I am with my crazy family. I thought I was looking at a crazy monkey too...but then I saw it. You need to get your landlord to spray that stuff in it that kills the wasps. Yikes! It's cool, but I wouldn't want it next to my house!
