Title: The Brood
Post by: Razgovory on June 04, 2011, 10:46:03 AM
Cicada's are everywhere this year.  I believe this is the emergence of a 13 year brood.  It is extremely unpleasant to cut the grass as swarms of large shrieking insects come flying at my head.  To make matters worse they seem attracted to sound of the lawn mower.  It's better then 1998 when the 13 year brood and the 17 year brood coincided and there so many of them in the trees that branches were falling off the trees.  Still, I want all the bastards dead.

I thought this was another thread about your family.

Are you sure it isn't?

I hate Cicadas. I hate it even more when they die off and they leave their little corpses behind like some sort of Cicada Dachau.

Fry them, they're good.  Apparently.

I thought it was about the early Cronenberg movie.

I wish they would die.  They are really fucking loud.

Yeah, I'm pretty much fucked.  You and Cal should be okay.

I haven't noticed any.

Just noticed "Indian Territory." So I guess this isn't a map of the current infestation.

Haven't heard nor seen a single cicada this year yet.

What, like Alberta?  Nah, I have no desire to live in the American Siberia.  Also, you may have noticed, I don't have a lot of choices where I can live.

Cool.  I need to check it out.  I've been loving some Cronenberg lately.
