Halloween has come and gone and the excitement of the election season is nearing its end. I have no intention of writing on either of such things, especially the election (too many opinionated people make this topic dangerous to address- and hazardous to my health), but what I will tell you may very well horrify you beyond the potential of the both of aforementioned events. What, you may ask, is more frightening than the collapse of what some liberals may call the “Republican war machine?” What, others may inquire, is more horrifying than swarms of small, cloaked, children as they threaten to violate your constitutionally protected right to the privacy of your own property? Yes, my friends, there is indeed something more frightening, and I will most certainly inform you as to that of which it is. First- an historical backdrop is of essence to accurately weave this tale of horror.
A few months ago Ben and James plotted a devious plan to turn my generally happy life into one of agony and despair. Unbeknownst to me they devised a way to prey on my greatest human weakness; a fear of those who tickle me. Taking advantage of the fact that I am often squished between them in the back of our Bravado while we are touring, they decided to attack me with the greatest creation that James has ever conceived. Let me use an illustration to visually depict James Harmer’s masterpiece of doom:
the mosquito seatbelt
Though the image is supposed to clearly portray the concept behind James Harmer’s most vile torture device to date, I will nonetheless elaborate with words, lest you leave this blog confused. By combining the availability and physicality of the common car seatbelt with the malice and predatorial nature of the mosquito, James and Ben were able to craft the monstrosity known as the great Seatbelt Mosquito. It is too difficult for me to describe how destructive it has been on my physiognomy and mental state, but I believe a shocking video of the most heinous beast in action will express it more than any amount of words would articulate.

Silly boys!
But- (yeah, get ready to say, “O, brother!”) as a mom and a friend, I really think you should, you know, wear your seatbelts. 85% of people are saved by them, in a crash. Just something to think about, cuz I love you guys. :-)
Hmm, maybe Wes and I can make a replica of the great seatbelt mosquito, for you guys. It would indeed be terrifying, as it may consist of pom poms, feathers, pipe cleaners, etc. Be warned! *winks*
well. i suppose being attacked by seatbelt mosquitoes is infinitely better than DYING BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT WEARING YOUR SEATBELTS.
just saying is all.
glad to see that Ben is pursuing his education in unique ways, wherever he travels.
I think I’m going to come back and read that when I’m bored.
THAT was awesome.
:)
Uhh…
Yeah. That’s all I got after watching that.
yeah…I agree with the seatbelts being more effective when actually being worn …I assume the vehicle was parked??
Actually..that was mom..I didn’t realize I was on Christis’ name until after it posted!
Yes. THIS is Christi. I was a little confused..=P
Great video. I’ve only heard stories of the “seatbelt mosquito”. But I’ve finally been able to see it. =]
By problem is knowing where seatbelts are placed, and knowing that area is especially not a place where I would like to get bit. Lol.
