Crickets are frightening because nothing they do makes any sense.
If you’re stumbling through the wilds of the U.P. and a wolverine jumps on your neck and buzzsaws into your trachea, you can be like, “I get itâ€â€killing machine.”
But when a cricket stares at you for five minutes, turns sideways, makes a little squeak, then bounces into your eye, what the hell is it trying to do?
For as long as a can remember I have had a huge and persistent irrational fear of crickets. In general I don’t particularly like insects, I mean spiders and bees are okay and I enjoy Gods natural balance of things and respect all living creatures. There is just something about crickets that chills me to the bone. Just typing the word crickets puts an eerie feeling and chills throughout my body. They’re just so ugly and dark and when they see you and get scared they hop TOWARDS you or ON you. I mean what the hell kinda of weird evolutionary niche allowed crickets’ defense mechanism to jump on the thing it’s terrified of?!? There are like having Satan’s little helpers run around freely in your basement and no one can stop them from rapid reproduction
I have feared the crickets ever since I can remember–they’re my irrational fear. Spiders don’t faze me but crickets creep me out.
How nice that I’m so up-to-date.
Fear the crickets
I’m not afraid of the crickets, myself.
I’m sure any attack plans or secret programs they have will be published in the NY Times anyway.
We’ll have lots of advance notice to prepare.
Hmm, yes I can hear the crickets chirping right now as a matter of fact.
Be afraid of the “Blossom” reunion—be very afraid . . .

Aside from prove there is no God, that is.
What I want to see is the infinitely more fun list of predictions *from* 2005, and their track record vs. reality….
My prediction? Pain.
I – for one – welcome our new cricket overlords…
BECAUSE OF THE ORTHOPTERA!
I heard the year of 2006 society kills and all people from the age of 13 to 19 commit suicide in the month of February I’m Not Too Sure On This..
Why Jiminy Cricket should die
