That gif gave me the heebeejeebees

Stop it, honey!

Some of these puns won't fly around here. However, many people have swarmed to this thread to comb it over.

[dalesys]

Yep. The thread is really buzzing. Better blow some smoke into the hive to quiet them down.

(Who else on this board has actually smoked a beehive?)

Smoking a beehive? Man, people will make a bong out of anything, won't they?

My parents used to keep bees, so I've smoked a few hives.

I remember the first hive my parents ever dealt with. It belonged to a friend's deceased husband, and hadn't been touched by anyone but bees in about 10 years. My parents left us at a safe distance from the hive (maybe 100ft or so) and went in, all kitted up and with their smokers going.
Less than five minutes later, they came back at a rate of knots, screaming "Run!!!" at us. The bees had gone feral, and attacked as soon as the first puff of smoke hit the hive entrance.

Didn't stop them having bees, but they didn't touch any hive that hadn't been touched in more than 5 years after that.

That sounds like a sticky situation.

Or as they say in the Army
"If you ever see an EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) guy run, do not ask why, instead RUN LIKE HELL!"

Does it smell sweet when you burn it?

Schlock Mercenary has this as one (or even two) of its maxims:

"A sergeant in motion outranks a lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on."

"An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks *everybody*."

[catcul]

I have two maxims for traveling:

If locals tell you not to go somewhere, don't go there.
If you see locals suddenly run in a direction, try to keep up.

[Jay 2K Winger]

If you see locals suddenly run in a direction, try to keep up.

Especially if you're in Pamplona.

[catcul]

Especially if you're in Pamplona.

...and that's no bull.

If you see locals suddenly run in a direction, try to keep up.

Similar to one of the rules of the road: If you see all the trucks getting out of one lane, you should probably do the same. After all, with a higher seating position, truckers can see further down the road. Of course, they might just be reacting to a sign like "Trucks use left lane next 2 miles", or "Right lane maximum clearance 11 feet".

Also, "Its not the bullet with your name on it you have to worry about. Its all those bullets labelled 'occupant'."

Why do I have an urge to listen to Nonpoint right now?
