I remember the last time these things came. All the crunching from stepping on them. The noise was awful. AutoXing will be fun, with those things hitting cars, trying to avoid them when just standing around. Lack of traction because of all the bug juice.

Ewwwwwww. :(

Shut up, man! :mad: I am still "totally awesome" when I sport mah Op shorts, checkered Vans, painter's cap and Vuarnet sunglasses on a leash (the kind with leather on the sides).

That's still cool, right guys??? hmmm? hmmm??? Anyone? Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?

The BROOD IS COMING!!!!!
yup they are supposed to be real bad and were in the middle of the hot spot.

last time these things were around was 87? I was 5 hahaha! and i remember all the nasty exoskeletons all over the trees...bah

I was at camp in Pa. when I first saw the cicadas. It was during my 4th grade Summer vacation.

I used ot pull their heads off. All you have to do is pull the front two feet...and the head pops RIGHT off. :D

Freaks.

Are you serious??? That's pretty freaky.

Do you think that line will work on girls?? "Pull on this and watch my head pop off!!!!"

Actually, around this time of year (more like in late April/May) when it is time for the cicadas, the grubs will be already in the soil. Man, I am getting the creeps...

Then driving to OC for Senior week the constanting pinging off of the car from them.

Be glad that you hadn't discovered motorcycles. :help

It was none too fun.

This sucks! I'll have to deal with my dogs eating them and then trying to kiss me. :(

I may have to switch from shooting the squirrells with peanuts in my slingshot to locusts with my pellet gun... ;)

soo much enjoyment out of pelting the little fuhquers with peanuts though

This sucks! I'll have to deal with my dogs eating them and then trying to kiss me. :(

If I were you, I think I'd be more concerned about the fact I was making out with my dog... http://team-bar.com/smilies/paranoid.gif

:D :stickoutt

No WONDER dogs like them, they sound fuckin delicious! From Mount St. Joseph Cicada watch:
What do they taste like?
Periodical cicadas are best eaten when they are still white (teneral), and they taste like cold canned asparagus. Like all insects, cicadas have a good balance of vitamins, are low in fat, and the females are especially high in protein. They are also Atkins friendly!

Hey what u starin at yo??

No, but we did cut a lettuce head in half, stuck celery in it as ears, and dragged it across the street with a rope to try to get cars to avoid it.

OKAY ALREADY!

When posting in this thread we no longer need to say how old we were in 1987!!!!!

Now please... I gotta take a nap and get ready for Early Bird buffet special!

Live online today at 2 - Cicadas: Good Enough to Eat? http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/04/metro_gordon041604.htm

David Gordon, a biologist and author of the "Eat-a-Bug Cookbook," says in a Friday Metro section story, Cicadas: The Other, Other White Meat (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16047-2004Apr15.html), that cicadas about to emerge from a 17-year marinade in the soil of the Eastern United States should be considered a delicacy....

Gordon will be online Friday, April 16 at 2 p.m. ET, to discuss his book, bug cuisine and the finer points of his recipe for cicada-topped pizza.

I was hungry from Jed's steak thread...

It sucks to be old! I mean, I'm turning 21 (old as fuck!) in a few days! Where does the time go, pretty soon, my kids will have their own kids...

Oh wait, I don't have kids. Well, time to go impregnate some 16 year old. You know, because I can.

Don't you guys go dying on me!
