1. I kind of did that once
I started out in Ohio and ended up on Marathon Key down in Florida sitting on a beach and feeding beer to a goat. That goat was holding his own until he started trying to make out with a duck. I decided it was time to cut him off after that. When I found out that the mosquitoes in Florida were the size of vultures I decided to get on home.

4. True.
For me the choice between some snow and bugs the size of B-52s isn't difficult. Besides, we keep better in the cold.

You're the only other person I've seen use that line besides myself, and the tv show I heard it on. Did you get it from the same place?

10. I thought I made up that saying when we lived in Wyoming
Didn't know it was originated by others. Oh, well, GMTA.

9. In New Hampsire it's the black fly.
I've ridden on planes smaller than some of those monsters.
