Gawd damn noise bugs!

Holy crap, the Cicadas are actually getting louder. Sounds like a combination of 50s sci fi UFOs, Star Trek tri corder and phaser and my swearing at those mother f@ckers to shut up! They even drown out cars and, when they are in the middle of the humping sound, planes going into Dulles.

Ever Broome and Speedy E couldn't love those f@ckin' things!

 

First in!

 

Chocolate covered.........

 

My pitbull eats them

 

They do sound like the phasers on old Star Trek.

 

Guess I’ve lived with the big noises for so long, I don’t even notice them anymore.

 

Walked to dinner the other night and I needed earplugs a couple of times. It was almost painful.

 

Its just the Walking Dead soundtrack...

 

I keep checking the windows in the house because I keep thinking they are open the bastards are so loud.

 

Ill take FL humidity & gators over those noisy things...

 

They make my tinnitus seem like it doesn't exist!

 

One of the benefits of living in the frozen north, don't have them things up here.

You get 17 cold-ass winters for each summer they have those things.

 

DO PEOPLE ALWAYS WRITE TO YOU IN CAPLOCKS???........

 

Just A-holes….

Now get off my lawn!

 

It’s almost over. It’s an interesting experience.

Watching my kid run from them is hilarious.

 

True, but we get snowmobiling out of the deal.

 

The little buggers grounded the US press plane for a few hours at Dulles. Their scheduled 9:30 departure for Europe didn't leave until 2:40AM on a new plane with a new pilot.

 

The cicadas took the PILOT?????
