Let us Mourn for the Mosh Pit

Tragedy. The mosh pit is no more. Somewhere, a cowboy sings a sad, sad song. Let us take a HyleBlog moment of silence for the Fabulous Firwood, Fife's own den of iniquity and hearing damage lost to us by an early morning fire.

Meanwhile, in a sign of impending calamity evolution has begun running backwards in Lake Washington. doom, what is thy name: Stickleback! Wait, isn't that a Canadian pop rock group?

If you can't get enough doom and destruction, then you're going to want to move to Houston where teensy tinsy ants are taking over the city. Check it:

The ants often eat fire ants, with which they are sometimes compared, and they “outcompete” fire ants for the food supply and reproduce far faster, Mr. Meyers said.

They are vulnerable to some pest control poisons — Mr. Rasberry uses products containing the chemicals fipronil and chlorfenapyr — but given the ants’ staggering proliferation and environmental restrictions on the products, not enough of the chemicals can be put down to make a difference, Mr. Meyers said.

And in LA, they'll be drinking from the toilet. No, not literally, HyleBloggers. But almost. Yuck.

That's it from the disaster beat. Here's hoping your weekend is full of sunshine and happiness. Just watch out for the stickleback...and Nickelback. Can't stand that group.
