cicadas

fyi-- registration cut of is sunday the 16th-

you may be able to still register after that-but may not get the tshirt or pin if supllies do not hold out....

that is so awesome peter!!! I have a couple good friends from Lawrenceberg!! I have spent my fair share of time and money there as well at Argosy!!

I haven't found any cicadas yet in my yard and i have a 263 acre farm that my backyard butts up to. I am sort of in a crazy way looking forward to seeing them bc i was 12 last time they were here. It kind of reminds me of my childhood. Now I didn't hit them with bats. I'm afraid I did something a little more cruel. My brother showed me that if you pull their front legs off, their eyes go back into their skull. It's pretty gross I know but hey, I was 12. Besides, it wasn't my idea, my brother made me do it. Yea! blame him!!

Iron Eagle, I hope I can still go even if I miss registration. I was planning on flying in for one afternoon to just check things out. If that isn't possible I understand. This would be my first convention. I'll pay whatever I need to pay though and can I buy a Tshirt there?

Thanks!

GAAAAAAAAH!!!! NO! MY STUPID BROTHER! HE KEEPS BRINGING THEM INTO MY HOUSE!

I will not have those bugs in the house, I won't. But, as always, my parents have decided it's cute and are perfecty willing to have the house crawling with them...grrrrr...

Oh, they're nothing to worry about. It's the Killer Queen Bees I'd worry about.

*dances the "hopefully won't get attacked by cicadas" dance*

Too bad that dance was reveresed in 1923 meaning it actually attracted the cicadas.

LOL iGSM!

There's a hilarious Yahoo story about them being a danger to children. Not for being harmful themselves, but for childrens' stupidity about them.

Peter, did you ever hit a friend on the head with a bat whilst trying to kill one? :)

I haven't noticed any increase here in Kansas yet, but we always have them in the warmer months anyway. They constantly hit my front door at night when the porchlight is on.

Hey Lisser, there's another QZer who I haven't seen in a while also from Florence. Girl named Camsmom.

I think we need an N. Ky. convention!

The QZ Cicada Convention!

Oh, man...

Pardon me while I bang the head against the wall a few times! DUH! Hello Melissa!

Oh man, they swarmed to my yard today. The driveway is littered with cicada corpses. And I thought that horrible buzzing noise was my air conditioner!

I am yet to see one. mwuahahhaahaaaaaaaaa!!!

"And I thought that horrible buzzing noise was my air conditioner!"

Nope just Warren Zevon's Desperado's Under the Eaves.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! NO! I WILL NOT HAVE BUGS IN GERMAN CLASS! It is hard enough to be discussing Terminator movies auf Deutsch without fifty little bugs zooming happily around your head and the ditsy girl behind you screeching her head off.

Looks like they've finally hit. I'm going to wear shells on my earrings tomorrow. This is too weird.
