The Ill One 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 You know guys, these tough buggers have spent 17 years working to expose themselves and annoy us with their siren rattles! If everybody in America, hell, this world work as hard as these brave insects- it'd be Utopia. If we could model ourselves off this creepy lookin' fly-locus-whatever things, we could really make this world a better place. We could enter a whole new golden age of humanity. Damn it man! If we could just look to the Cicadas... if only we could see their work ethic! Those guys make those whails at night, all night, it's a strenous task to buzz all night. But they do it every god damn night and they know they have to! Their work ethic exceeds ours by so much. *Wipes away tear* We just need to look to the Cicadas, just look to them. They still haven't hit here, but I'm waiting. Patiently. With a bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 I've had no less than two of these things somehow crawl down INSIDE my shirt when I was wearing it. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, until I turn my head the wrong way, and hear the little bastards cry out in anger. Yes, I've found out that they cry out. It's not the mating call - it's some sort of bizarre high-pitched buzz / whine of anger & frustration that actually manages to make them even LESS likable.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted May 24, 2004 This morning after work, I shot a Cicada with a .357 I think I've finally taken this as far as it can go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
