...I did NOT just see that :eek: :rolleyes: :o

Idiots come from everywhere.

I can't believe someone has bid $11 for that stupid cicada.

I'm already sick of them. One was in my friend's car today. I was in the back seat FLIPPING OUT. He wasn't happy with me carrying on, but whatever I was scared.

today's metro had a picture of a telephone pole covered in these things. they looked so gross. kind of glad we're not supposed to be getting them here.

Beware of the health risks of cicadas!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First there was the girl who fell off her bike fleeing a flying cicada. Then a boy trying to swat a cicada out of the air with a baseball bat instead hit his friend in the nose.

The final straw came when another child hurt his hand trying to squish a cicada under a car's tires. Dr. Ray Baker of Cincinnati Children's Hospital was convinced -- cicadas can be a safety hazard to children.

Last night a cicada landed on the outside my screen. Eeeeeeeeeeeew. I flicked it off.

I see on the list Georgia is suppose to have them but I haven't even seen one. Maybe they are in the more wide open rural areas.

Because of my fascination with these buggers.. my boyfriend has threatened to leave his windows open at night so I can't sleep because of them...

are they THAT noisy?!?!

If they are.. I might have to stay in New Hampshire instead of venturing to Maryland.. :p

I remember that year!!
our nice new trees got eaten up in the backyard and my Mom had to re-plant them

Ok, this is gross, ina way, but SO COOL.

My boyfriend sent this to me..
enojoy!!!

I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee theeeeemmm!! hahahaha :p

apparently being in florida means that i am out of the general area of the evil creatures.....wahoo!!!!!!!!!!

I was all freaked out about them, but they are really not that bad. I even think they're kinda cute... for bugs. The noise is really annoying though. We have a few in my neighborhood. I can hear their screeching, but I never really see them. At the in-laws' house, however, they are EVERYWHERE and they're so loud you can't even hear yourself think!

I'm really getting tired of them flying into my windshield when I'm driving to and from work. UGH.

I'm sick of having to drive with my windows up. I know if I roll them down, one of those mickeyfrickeys will fly in and then all hell will break loose.
