Midges? What's that?

I agree that they are the most annoying thing ever, but do you really want them buzzing around in headquarters?

We can keep them in a cage.

...

And does everybody know that mangaluva is second-in-command in JDC? She can give her own missions, choose what she wants to do, and no-one can order her around--except of course, me and my cat (ccppfan).

Eh, I don't even know that they exist until today. or maybe they're called something else in my country.

Haven't heard that word for them before but my dictionary says they are mosquitoes and it seems plausible

Could be gnats as well, but of course I could be wrong, better ask mangaluva when she returns.

She said midges not midgets, and last time I checked midgets don't bite people and their bites don't give you a rash.

*returns from driving lesson, having thankfully managed not to kill anybody again*

Midges aren't mosquitos, though they're similar. Midges might be a mainly Scottish term; they might be closer to gnats. All I know is that they are tiny enough to lounge on the tip of a pin, they swarm in billions, they love my blood, and their invisibly miniscule bites cause an area of skin the size of a five- to ten-pence-piece to swell up and be the ITCHIEST THING EVER. We need to figure out how to harness their destructive and annoying power without being devoured...

Or we could use cleggs. Bigger than mosquitos, the ugliest thing you have ever seen, and make even BIGGER and ITCHIER bites. And they cannot be killed. I've tried to swat them, they're rock-hard.

Midgets are a powerful force too, though. My shortest friend is roundly feared, largely for biting anything that comes within range if he does get into a fight. Who wants to volunteer to hunt down and enlist the destructive force of midgets?

For the record, I didn't know what midges were until I started working in an outdoors store.  People use fake ones for fly fishing.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

So that's what they are (the midges that is), not that I fish but my grandfather does.

Don't think I have experienced midges only mosquitoes and gnats, and extra big mosquitoes.
