...They got big orange eyes that just don't focus/
some people call them 17-year locusts/
But that's the wrong data/
Their name is cicada/
And they may be here now/
But they won't be here later/
They got four wings/
But they ain't supposed to fly/
They crawl out of the ground/
Have sex and die/...

This is an actual rap song; the Pheremones, I believe.

This is great.
I love it when he asks: "How many times has Bob Ryan gotten the snowfall prediction wrong these last 17 years?"

So, get your beekeeper's suits!!!!

I understand cicadas don't bite, don't sting, don't even notice that people are around. I don't care. The "alien flying-saucer invasion" humming sound two years ago when they came out in Mississippi almost drove me around the bend.

The Cicadas are coming
Tony Kornheiser is one of those guys that, in my opinion, is constantly funny. Yet, somehow he is still able to write new articles that make me like him even more; you would think I would have reached my peak.
