Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
does getting sucked up into the shop-vac kill the wasps or is there an additional step after that?
It doesn't kill them, it only contains them. Bag is going in the garbage.

Bag is going in the garbage.
Couldn't you just mail it to somebody we hate?
Like...flea's fratboy soon-to-be-ex neighbors? Or JZ's ex-bosses? Or somebody Aimee knows? (Aimee & MM have too many enemies for me to count)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The exoskeleton of the Asian giant hornet is impenetrable to bee stings. They can be pretty strong. I reckon a vacuum might be more likely to separate the thorax and abdomen rather than split the exoskeleton.

Nomad? Doesn't sound terribly threatening.
Clearly you're not a Star Trek fan! Because you say "Nomad," and I imagine a whiny electonic voice screeching "STERILIZE!" and...
Hm. Actually that'd be okay with me. So, point. But I bet some people wouldn't care for it.
On that note, my gladiator name will be Kirok.

I would be very scared that a vacuum bag of wasp would magically end up with me attempting to throw it away, and the wasps getting out of the bag. Much like the proverbial cat.
I managed to finally go over to the pizza place at about 9:45 pm. Thankfully, they finally had the asparagus and prosciutto pizza (by the slice) that their website had kept taunting me with! Mmmm.

No, that would be evil.

Yeah, there's that. Unfortunately we can't get a definitive call on how long the little beggars live, so I think we'll need to risk it. Or burn them.

I dunno, there are some people I'd regard it as Chaotic Neutral at worst.
