…he doesn’t give a damn. And there are plenty of such folks in the comments to this article, their righteous indignation over some guy who makes art by pouring molten aluminum down fire ant nests causing them to need fresh panties.*
Every one of the idiot commenters needs to be bit by a fire ant, just once.**
I’ve never been bitten by a fire ant, but we have some little red ants out here in the side yard that are bad enough. One managed to hitch a ride into the house with me last summer and got all the way up my pant leg before it bit me in the thigh.
I was out there with a bag of Spectracide before you could say “die, you fuckers.” I hit that side yard about three times over a period of two weeks, a double dose of the stuff each time.***
Result: No more red ants, at least not through the onset of cold weather. But if there are more next year, I may get me a little forge set up and melt down some Pepsi cans…

** Some perhaps more than once. But I digress.
*** I should note that I bought the stuff to put down the carpenter ants that seem to be taking over the back yard. I didn’t see a single carpenter ant this fall when it got cold, i.e., when they start trying to come into the house for the winter. Now that’s the mark of some good shit, because I’ve been trying to eradicate those fuckers ever since we moved into the house.
