Thursday, April 15
The year was 1987. U2 had long hair and Andrew McCarthy's acting career couldn't be stopped. I was a 4th grader at College Gardens Elementary and the only worry in my life was whether swallowed gum would actually stay in my stomach for 7 years. But then the bugs came. And these weren't just any old bugs, but really loud and annoying bugs called cicadas (pronounced: "ze-kay-duhs"), who leave behind a shell when the die (some obese weird neighborhood kid used to collect them). And boy were they EVERYWHERE! It was as if Moses himself cast a plague on my suburban playland. Well, it's 17 years later, and the cicadas are about ready to leave their underground dwellings and invade the DC area once again with their "Thehr-oooh-ah" noises. Good thing I live in NYC were the only annoying thing is Rev Al Sharpton or not being able to finish a Monday crossword puzzle. Newz link via the Flea caretaker.
