Post Firecracker Exploded Ants Brown Mushy Paste
When I was about nine of ten, my friend Andy and I lit off a firecracker next to a small tree that was covered with ants. It was a big firecracker we’d bought on the 5th grade black market. Bigger than we’d ever lit before. We lit the fuse, then ran for cover.
After the firecracker exploded, we ran back to see what happened. The tree was fine, but the ants had all been blown into a brown mushy paste.
We laughed.
The end.
So maybe that story from my childhood wasn’t bathed in nostalgic Neil Simon glow. But it does sum up this pic.

Also the name of my favorite punk band from 1993.
