Every year at this time, without exception, Wise County is inundated with millions of crickets. The normally descend upon us like one of the ten plagues that Noah caused to be inflicted upon the Road to Damascus for 40 days and 40 nights. (Wait, I messed that up, didn't I?)
Any way, the crickets always come. Until this year. Where are they?

They are in my house screeching thier little @sses of every night. Should I give them a map to your house?
they are all in my pasture.
DON'T ASK!!!! You know what happens if you ask!
Cricket populations are influenced by rainfall and ground moisture. It has been far too dry for far too long and north central TX has lost a lot of the ground moisture in the top 8 inches of soil.
Yep! I know a BUNCH of farmers.
They're everywhere!
Put on your tin foil hats!
Just to confirm....
Yeah, you messed that up.
Double Fake Moses
IN THE PASTURE WAITING FOR IT TO TURN COOLER. FIRST COOL SPELL WE GET, HERE THEY COME!!!
they're here in the lumber yard
Nice legs (all six of 'em), but...that has got to be the worst "afternoon pick me up" photo. EVER!
Triple Fake Jiminy Cricket
They are waiting until the grasshoppers are gone.
Barry,
Would you be willing to put the following poll up:
In Wise County when someone is charged with a crime, do you assume....
1. Innocent Until Proven Guilty
2. Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Just curious!
The ones that aren't in Anon 3:45's house are in ours. That is unless 3:45 is my wife,(and it could be), in that case they are all in and around my house. I am stepping on the little buggers every day. I am doing my part, how about the rest of you?
I think you meant the 10 plagues on the road to Denton but TXDot is working on that.

They dont just come in and arrest people for no reason the school did look into it and found incriminating evidence!!!
I've seen a bunch of them, and when they die, they stink!!!
When I was in High School we got em in the locker room, way worse than gym shorts.
they're across the street from your office under the covered parking at the bank
we always get mini lizards.
Saw hundreds on the back wall of the strip center while in line at the Starbucks drive-through. Someone must have sprayed, they are all gone this week.
They are at my place of work! Feeding on the torture they cause us!
They are all crawling out from Miscreep's skin! She's actually the insect monster in Men in Black.....seriously
WHY THE CRICKETS DID NOT APPEAR
The crickets did not appear
at Decatur Courthouse this year!
It was said that the baby crickets might hear?
Obama speak and cause fear!
Saw a lady last Monday sweep a half of a 5 gallon bucket of them from inside her store on the square.
I've seen a few Monarch Butterflies lately, so that makes up for all the crickets and ants and baby lizards and MzCreep stuff.
They are waiting for the commissioner's court to figure out which "pest control" company to use..........
Big issues!!
5:06.. lay off Mzchief. We happen to like her.
Do crickets infest other Wise County cities other than Decatur and in particular the courthouse?
6:49 -
Speak for yourself.
5:06 speaks for me.

Were you talking about teachers or crickets?
The Creep hasn't hatched yet! When she does there will be cricket Hell to pay!
You might not of posted it here for some bs reason but www.badbadteacher.com has. I guess you think it's different since he is male and not like all the females that you've posted on here before accused of the same thing. Is it that or is it because of the family he comes from?
Hey Genius
Ever think it might be a matter of perception and you might not be paying attention enough? Just because they're not on your computer screen or mentioned in one of Obama's speeches doesn't mean they aren't there
Cricket, or ticket.
Need to get the teabagger patrol on those crickets. They have enough ammunition to shoot each cricket 3 times, and still have enough ammo left for their shooting war.
Nobody is going to (publicy) like this thought. I'm just going to have it anyway. The cricket post seems as good of a place as any. The crickets follow a very natural and efficient system widely used in the animal kingdom. They have a lot of babies and the ones who can find food (without outside interference) live at least long enough to reproduce. The rest of them die and nobody really cares cause there's too many crickets anyway. Things stay in balance like this. One can reasonably assume that stronger, smarter crickets survive and reproduce at a higher rate than the dumb ones. Thus the constant supply of crickets. The toads, snakes and lizards seem to do well under this system.
We, on the other hand, sort of accidentally developed a thought process which inclined us to want to keep more of our species alive, whether we needed those extra units for our well-being or not (and we clearly don't). Global warming, over extension of resources and related complications to over-population threaten the quality of our species' future. Yet we continue to grant reproductive rights to the inferior elements because it assuages our accidental intelect's self destructive desire to feed the defective and unnecessary elements who would otherwise just be so many dead crickets returning to the carbn cycle.
We are animals, people. That God sheet ain't real and there's too many of us. Who should go first? The good ones or the rest of them?
Food for thought
Times are hard even for crickets. Saw one on 51 carrying a sign that said: "Will chirp for food. Please."
There emissing in the Denton COunty Courthouse also.
Well, they could be on the job with little micrphones and wireless cameras did anyone think of that.
Tom stopped them before they got to town
12:22am That was funny! Needed a good laugh this morning..
They're at the Mcdonald's Drive Thru.
