"Missing Cicadas"

For me the summer of cicadas has been really lacking in well Cicadas. I actually saw one last night at Megan's house (Liza's friend),however it's lifeless body was floating in a discarded planter pot.

Anyway I have a few theories of why I didn't see any of the buggers so far.


* They went to an area where the sports teams actually win. Hell they were underground for 17 damn years and not one team won a championship. I don't blame them


* They heard John Street already had too many bugs in his office.


* They didn't want to be out numbered by slot machines in Pennslyannia


* They didn't come to NJ, in fear of being horribly taxed. Of course all the benefits would go to Northern Jersey Cicadas.

* Suburban Sprawl in South Jersey has gotten out of hand so much the poor little guys can't find soil that hasn't been paved over. Jenna those noises you hear at night are thousands of Cicadas clawing at your newly built house in order to breath.

*They were eaten by "The Blob" of Egg Harbor


15 points for the first person that can explain the Egg Harbor Blob.


***hint it was a fairly big story last summer****

That was a joke about how most of the tax money takes care of North Jersey than South Jersey.

I plan to write an article some what related to this this weekend.

Most of the tax money takes care of North Jersey because it is North Jersey that pays most of the taxes. More money is made, it is more heavily populated, and the taxes are higher.
