Cicada Killers creep me the fuck out... er, no,to be honest, they inspire me because they sting/paralyze the cicada, bury it in the ground with one of their waspy eggs, where it feeds on the living/immobile cicada until it emerges next season. And these fuckers are HUGE.

(just a little one, lol)

Cicada Killers creep me the fuck out...

 

When I posted that I typed cicada into google to make sure that was what I was talking about, "cicada killer" popped up and I thought it was some crazy serial murderer.

Oh fuck. I am pissed as hell. Livid. Fuck Topeka. Fuck their county prosecutor. Fuck them putting money above human life and well-being.

 

(for the record, that is aimed at the city and county admins, not personal to the citizens who are being depreciated in the eyes of the law)

Cicada fetishes are nothing new. I've seen people on the news talk about how they loved cicadas and then came the video montage of the thousands of cicada's living in their tree and then they eat one and talk about how much they love them again. The fact that cicada's are terrible makes it worse but....wait what am I saying, there is something wrong with these people.

I wish this thread was more popular.

I'd like to announce that I shall be back in the workshop, reading and reviewing as I should be, instead of messing around with writing so much.

 

I don't know if that's a promise or a threat, just take however you want to.

We have a superhero here in Seattle.  It's a guy who literally dresses up in a superhero costume and fights people.  He got arrested for using pepper spray on these guys outside a club.  Apparently superheroes use pepper spray.

My friend out of state called me early today. Twice. To tell me his writing sucks because he's reading this book on writing and his stuff isn't up to their standards. He's a good writer; makes good stories and solid characters. I told him to put some salt & pepper on that thing, sautee it in butter and eat it. It will make a better turd than the crap they're feeding him on the pages.

Sometimes I forget how naive and sheltered I am.  And then I read something that reminds me, but at the same time makes me proud of it.  But I guess it's pretty naive of me to be proud of my naivety.
