italianchef Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Howdy folks, How are you? As you know, 4 billion cicadas will soon be amonst us - including at PKI. Will this influence you? Will you avoid PKI while the cicadas spread their reign of yuckiness? Will you go anyway? Or will you even go more often? Will you eat cicadas? Feed them to your pets? How will cicadas influence your life and your love of PKI? Are you worried about the cicadas? Have a great weekend! Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Well just now on the news said they could be out as early as tonight. I'm scared! lol. Here in Kentucky we'll get them alot worst than PKI will so maybe I'll go to PKI to get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 It dont matter to me Iam not gonna let that stop me from visting my fav park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Nothing can keep me from visiting my favorite park. Besides, the only cool thing to do with these is either play a new form of tennis, or make jewelry out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Yea but think about it, almost all the land at KI has been turned up, or renovated in the past 17 years, I mean, thats everything from Vortex being put in untill today. Most of KI shouldnt be that bad, the one place that will probably will be terrible is riding The Beast, wow, yea its gonna be Fabio stories all over cause non of that has been disturbed since like 25 yrs ago when The Beast was put in. But other than that they shouldnt be that bad at KI, now the zoo is terrible, that is one place that you really do not want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I embrace bugs, anyway. At my last job at cmc, I handled madagascar hissing cockroaches and giant african millipedes. I think I can handle a few thousand cicadas.*gets out badminton raquet* Here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousLastWords Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I love cicadas! They have to be my favorite insect. They're not slimey, they're easy to pick up by their wings and throw around, and, (the best part) if you hold them upside down, they start vibrating like crazy. I don't know about the rest of you, but the idea of giant insects hitting me in the face while riding Beast and the other rides doesn't bother me in the least. It actually sounds fun. I really don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 ^ If rain can do it, let's try bugs... maybe our faces will be purple by the end of the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastfreak Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 You get one of those things in your mouth.... good luck breathing. I'd like to think people would be smart enough to duck or close their mouths if they were heading towards a swarm of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterrz Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I don`t think it could be the 17 year cicadas and The Bat. The math just doesn`t add up. Also, I remember hearing a cicada expert from the College of Mount St. Joe sayin that he would be surprised if more than a few stray cicadas found there ways to PKI. He said that most of these little critters will be within the 275 loop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 In my neighbor's yard, there was a landscaping tarp on the lawn for a few days. When the tarp was removed, there were literally hundreds of the little guys, just scratching at the surface. I'm guessing the tarp helped to heat the ground a little early. They've also made little mountains under our deck for some reason. When you break off one of the mountains, there is a cicada inside. We've decided not to open our pool until after they've gone. I really do hope they are sparse at PKI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 If life throws you lemons, make lemonade! Why not catch these buggers and cook 'em over an open fire? I hear insects are high in protein...Atkins, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampmonster Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I was going off of this article - http://www.wcpo.com/news/2004/local/03/10/cicadas.html , and it says the 21st, give or take a week. This more recent article - http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/05/0...cadaprep08.html says the 14th. So calm down; maybe I just brought the wrong newspaper under my rock.

Tanner Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 My English teacher is bringing in his deep frier (probably tomorrow) and he went out to BW3's and got some sauce and he's making them for his classes. I'll be outside in the hallway, sittin as far away from his class as possible. The worst thing is, our school has no air conditioning and the windows won't be able to be opened.
