I did a search for fleas but found nothing......please tell me what a flea is.......thanks

a flea is what happens when cooties and hitchhikers meet in sprite and highlander's back yard and take lessons from the squirrels...

um...

it is a hybrid box, small, and can be planted on someone like a cootie, or left in a box like a hitchhiker, or left in a hitchhiker like a parasite, or mailed in a postal...however it moves, just so long as it moves.

Thanks......cooties.......fleas..........parasites........so what is the difference between a parasite and a flea?

a parasite is a hitchhiker that only hitches rides from one hitchhiker to the next. it is carried places by boxers that carry the hitchhiker it is attached to. and when that boxer has two hitchhikers in thier possession, it moves to another hitchhiker.

a flea can be stuffed anywhere to move it along. you can pretend it is a parasite and stick it in the bag with a hitchhiker. you can pretend it is a hitchhiker and stick it in any box you find. you can slide it into any postal that leaves your possession (if it doesn't weigh much), you can pretend it is a cootie and sneak up behind another boxer and drop it in the open pocket of their backpack, or the hood of their jacket, or (insert your favorite method of cootieing here). As long as the poor little thing keeps moving, nobody cares how it moves.

night writer who should either be sleeping (too many nerves) or working on her nano novel (too excited to go to england) but is hanging out at AQ instead...

wow---------very interesting :o) Thanks for clearing this up for me. I think I'll print it out and keep it in my logbook for future reference!

Night writer's description/definition is far more thorough than what's currently in the AQ glossary - great job!

Might there be any interest in updating the glossary with it?
