>>> A classic! One of my all time fav sci-fi flicks. <<<

Yeah, mine too.
Its funny but many of those *cheesy* 1950's sci-fi films now ARE 'Classics'.

I wish TCM would show 'Creature From The Black Lagoon'. That's another fave.

Thanks! (I wouldn’t jump on you unless....well you know)

Still haven’t seen these critters in my county. Are they the ones who love to eat electrical wiring?

Beats me.

We only have big black ants, big red ants, medium dittos and these teensy-weensy tiny little black ants who have colonized my whole property boundary/
I like to feed them smashed up peanut butter Ritz Bits.

[they get so excited when they see me coming with the bag]...:)

We've got Carpenter ants that eat wood like a termites, *piss* ants that don't really do anything, large Red ants that seem to be getting more and more scarce ever year (IMO, thanks to the next variety) and our lovely imported from South America FIRE ANTS which can ruin your day if they get a hold of you and are damn near impossibly to get rid of.

Don't let Kutchner know about this - he might start registering them to vote.
