Would you eat the chalk?

Thai rak thai could have used some of that before the PAD trashed and took over govt house.

^ Nope, just a question

^Oh, OK. I wouldn't eat it then. But I'm not really fond of eating any kind of chalk, Chinese Miraculous or not.

I added some coloured chalk

Really fucked the ants up!

I just ate a piece. Nothing strange yet. Anyone know where I can buy Twinkies in Bangkok?

Chalk another one up to religious whackos, eh?

I need a rest.

P.S. Unless this entire thread is a metaphor or allegory for something else going on that I don't know about - is that it?

If so, don't expect ant chalk to be any good against them..

Nah nah, don't waste your money buying stuff for insects, just use the green cleaning fluid you likely have around the house already. This stuff could be a wepon in Clue, Loki, in the kitchen with the green fluid.
I've wiped out nearly whole colonies of ants with it. Somewhere, a poor queen is hungry as fuck and wondering where everyone is. The plus side is....when you wipe up all the little red and black corpses, you are also cleaning!

Just the ticket I'd say.

What, exactly, is that?? It's stunning, and looks about as weirdly put together as a platypus. Is it just your everyday run of the mill anteater, or a special one?
