Zero desire to have a flamethrower weapon strapped to my back, but I would strap into one of these flamethrowers:

Now, just get a Ferrari angled up to the hive and fire her up.

Is GPS in the ER or sleeping off a victory celebration?

Well, I think we can safely assume that GPS is dead and that the bald/bold faced hornets are taking over the world.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords

(if GPS is hurt and not just hung-over, I will sincerely regret this post - hope you're well GPS!)

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!

I had some logistical issues with my neighbor having several people on his deck who were not going to be keen on me taking a coal shovel to a giant hornet nest 100' from their cordials. At least Mrs Wacker thought so. To my thinking - it would have made any video 100% better.

Tonight - I try again.

Well, at least you have more time to prepare. I agree with you though, the guests would have made great extras in your short film. The reaction alone to them seeing you out there with a shovel in your stig suit would have been worth it.

You are near Hartford, CT right? It's 4:33PM. You can make it here by 9:30PM easily. Although driving 7hrs round trip to watch is possibly crazier than hitting a hornet nest wearing a Stig suit.

Oh, you're in that part of Pennsylvania that taunts me with its faraway Craigslist treasures...

I'm pretty sure this is a re-post, but here's a cool video of some Chinese soldiers using a flamethrower to take out a giant bee/wasp/hornet/dissident nest in a tree.

Good luck with the hornets!

I have a nest, darn near the size of a watermelon. I don't know if my digi camera works anymore. If so I'll tape and post it.
I'm thinking I'll soak the thing with my favorite wasp killer 'till it falls in a garbage can. Then celebrate with an adult beverage.

You don't have a stig suit and a shovel? Come on now... that is entirely too mundane given what GPS plans on doing.

I'm with ya. Unsuspecting victims would have made the video EPIC.
