   I see a totally rad sharing time lesson in the near future.

   As a product of the 90s era, I don’t get this. Old timers, please explain with your vast knowledge.

    I once saw the lead singer in the Guitar Center in Hollywood. He was with a lovely brunette in a Police t-shirt. He was balding – the pull the hair forward was a variation on the pull the hair over in vain attempt to cover one’s baldingness.

    If only the infestation had been beetles instead of crickets. . .

    We’re going to need a new monument…

    Yeah … I’m at the other end of the world from Newly Housewife, yet have the same problem. Youngsters, maybe a link to something explanatory wouldn’t quite spoil the joke …

    Now, if you had a photo of FOS chewing on Buddy Holly’s band, then you’d really have something…

    Why aren’t you people posting a copy of their song that was actually pretty good?

    Love it. I think that the grasshoppers were the ones who “couldn’t get away.”

    p.s. Now that I look back on these oldies, I marvel at how young all of the musicians look. Seriously, when did I get so old??

    Wow. I laughed pretty hard. The story just got way better!

    Bravo. That’s all I can think to say. Bravo.

    Now I guess we know where they were running to.
    Ardis this should help.

    It was all that aerosol hairspray that killed the crickets.

    It took me a minute, but then I remembered the airport ticket clerk from The Wedding Singer and it all made sense. But then, I am older than Ardis, so I have some excuse, too. Certainly one of the best yet….

    Wow. Speechless – but laughing like a maniac.

    Hey-O!!! Very well done. I’ve always imagined seeing a fight between Flock and A-Ha. Something similar to the network fight scene in Anchorman a la Sharks v. Jets.

    Amazing! I laughed so hard!
