They're already here, actually. At least, the standard annual variety.

If you're talking about the Generation 10 (is that what they're called?), I wouldn't worry. They don't hurt people, and, unlike grasshoppers they don't swarm and they don't have to devour eighty times their body mass to survive. :D

But its sure going to sound like a transformer exploded. :D

I'm more worried about the mosquitoes coming... :nervous:

Those guys can get pretty annoying, and they are the carriers of fun diseases such as Malaria and West Nile. :)

My dog used to eat those things..

Arent frogs supposed to herald the return of Ctulhu?

who exactly is Cthulhu?

The Call of Cthulhu is a short story by H.P. Lovecraft.
Cthulhu (Ka-thoo-loo) is an giant alien that has been asleep under the Pacific somewhere for millions of years. He's something like 50 feet tall (I dont have the book on hand, so I cant be sure), green, slimy, scaly, roughly humanoid with large black eyes (your typical Grey alien style) with tentacles around his mouth. The mere sight of him drives a person mad.

In the sunken city of R'lyeh. I wish I could remember the line.

He's one of the Elder Gods. A creature from beyond the universe and immensely powerful. As far as I remember, Squidface isn't EVIL, so much as he thinks of humanity in much the same way as you or I might think of a paramecium.

Under the waves in the great city of Ry'leth he sleeps, gathering power.

Or something like that.

What pisses me off is not the frogs that go "croak", like the stereotypical frog everyone thinks of.  It's the frogs that live in or by water (bayous, ponds, etc.) that go "BAAAAAAAAAAA", like a freaking sheep.

also the cicadas. and mosquitos, and worse than all that the 107 degrees @ 98% humidity :-/

It is not dead which may eternal lies,
and in strange eons even Death may die.

Or something like that.
