Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hi happy vege friends! )/ yeah! This is my first post! Nice to meet you. I'm a happy vegan named Bruno, and I was recently bitten on my nipple by a wasp. My hometown is Saratoga, but I'm living in Yokohama, Japan now. Two weeks ago, on Saturday, I took the train to a far off, beautiful outdoor hotsprings up a winding path deep in the mountains. It was wonderful. But since it's summer, they had a sign up Beware of Wasps. It said the wasps bite. So I tiptoed on the green, mossy stones, slowly sunk deep into the warm hotsprings water and opened my paperback book to read. Then I heard a slight humming. It soon became the purr of a toy Cesna and I looked down and saw a wasp friend was preparing to land on my ear. So I wacked it away. Not a meatatarian wack, but a gentle vege one. Next, I lowered my glance to the water, and the wasp I had flung off was on its back flapping the warm water with both wings. It was trying to breathe, and its tiny fluttering lashes pleaded with me for life. I want to live too. My heart could hear the whisper of its eyes Why...? Why...? So I quickly grabbed a nearby bamboo sun hat, scooped the friend out of the water and tapped it onto a nearby stone. It made two or three splashes in a small puddle of water, and then flew straight up towards the heavens. I felt so proud. I felt something sacred. I was happy. That day when I got home I counted twenty-two wasp bites on my body. That was two weeks ago. I made so many wasp friends! Then last Saturday I went again. This time I put anti-wasp gell all over my body and even on my hair. I layed again in the warm water against a big rock and watched the green leaves flutter against the high blue sky. It was so peaceful. Then I heard two men say " There's a wasp in the water. " I heard splashing sounds. I looked and they were bobbing a wasp up and down with something in their hand, trying to delete its name from the Book of Life. I'm shy, so it's hard for me to interrupt complete strangers and say " Excuse me servant of Satan. Could you cease to sin before God and man before I beachslap you? " But I had to. So I rushed between the two human handmaidens of Beelzebub and up to the wasp friend and said " I can't stand to watch this " and scooped the friend up with my sun hat like before. I shook it up toward the heavens and hummed the first few verses of Born Free through my nose. But as I sang I felt a twingle on the knuckle of my left index finger. It was the finger of my hand that held the bamboo cap. I looked down and blood was oozing from a fold below my knuckle. And a wasp was perched on the knuckle part and was moving its tongue to and fro to stir wasp excrement into my knuckle blood. I shouted out a term for copulation, and instinctively vege-wacked it high into the firmament. But then, still in shock, I felt another tinkle and looked further up and -- you may not believe this, but it's true -- the wasp's friend was perched on my left nipple, and had its lower jaw open wide, like the Visitors just after they returned to mother ship and prepared to snack on mouse, and it was tilting its glance ever so slightly up towards me. Time froze. There was only me and the wasp, Ich and Du. And the flutter of its tiny eyelashes towards me above its poised mouth. It gave me a loving sideglance, and our hearts were one. Then time started again, and I heard myself proclaim a synonym for number two since I had already screamed the one for relations a few moments ago. My hand moved, and the wasp, still living of course, shot up to the clouds to join her friend of a few moments earlier. On the way back on the train I felt my left chest hurt. It still tingles a little now as I write. Then it struck me. I'm a saint. Mother Theresa helped thousands of humans and was bathed in the love. I extended a hand of caring to the forgotten, and was bitten on the nipple by a wasp. She bathed in love. I bathe in ooze. So I told this to my friends, making comparisons when appropriate of myself to Mother Theresa. They told me that I'm lazy, self-centered and am only a vege person to agrandize myself and brag about stories like the one I'm telling you now. So I have scars, a tingling nipple, and now I've been humiliated too. When there's a vege pope I will be canonized. There will be justice in the world. The gentle will be rewarded. My left nipple will hang from the rear view mirrors of the faithful, with a golden wasp perched on it. I will be called Mother Bruno, and will give hope to all. Or perhaps Bruno Claus. History will fill in the details. I'm worth something too. I participated in giving the greatest gift of all! I got bit and humiliated. But who cares! My reward was seeing the happy wasp flying towards the clouds. That's enough. The day of the early vegetarians will come. We will be saints. We will bless all and wipe away the tears of the sad. We're surrounded by killing and hurt. The face of McDeath stands proudly on cement. Our self esteem should be infinite. We've done enough to feel happy about ourselves. We should be proud.. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's true. And I'm happy. ------------------ bruno_von_lederhosen I posted about my wasp friends first here... http://www.veganboard.com/ ) smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
