Crickets

[Westsider]

I remember a year back in the 60's when the cricket invasion was so intense, driving on the brick streets in downtown FW was like driving on a sheet of ice due to all the squished cricket innards on the road.

If you remember the 60's, you weren't there

If you remember the 60's, you weren't here.

Where've you been all your life? At an orgy? Listening to Mick Jagger and bad-mouthin' our country, I'll bet!

Wasn't 1987 the year there was a huge downpour right before the game, and soaked the showgirls who were all wearing white uniforms?

Come on man. You know the rules.

One year the bottom of the elevator shaft at Max Goldsmith Stadium in Lewisville had feet of dead crickets in it.

The smell taking the elevator up to cover a football scrimmage was awful. And you could still smell it in the press box.

Felt bad for the guys who had to go in a shovel the crickets out.

I’ve got about 50 million cicadas from this 17 year brood I’d like to send you. It is deafening. Not as big as those annual Houston cicadas, but they are everywhere and are showing up on weather radar, grounding planes and will last six weeks!

And that's what you get for living in Indiana.

I didn’t choose this place, my coon ass wife wanted to live where she could experience 4seasons. Like any place it has good an bad aspects. By the way, Texas has a cicada bloom also, 2028. So if you live in a wooded area, enjoy…

What kind of sick bastige amputates the feet from dead crickets and puts them in an elevator shaft? That is one extreme level sociopath. What is this world coming to?

They went in there during the summer trying to escape the heat and couldn't get out.
