Eric – It has EVERYTHING to do with Waco. Before Waco, I didn’t like crickets, but they didn’t freak me out. But, after the cricket invasion of 1999, when they were literally falling out of the sky and I had a cricket crawl up my pants in Barnes and Noble while studying, I developed a bit of a phobia. Waco ruined me forever! I mean, as far as crickets are concerned…

Kelli, does your dislike of crickets have anything to do with your time in Waco? I remember being there during the cricket invasion of 2001…. it was pretty gross. Though, honestly, just a single cricket doesn’t really bother me…. dozens of crickets do.

I think Arnie has some of his relatives living down the street in our basement. I wish they would come up with some sort of cricket replient that we could spray on them as we stood a good 5 feet away from them in case they decide to jump on us!! I actually tried some Spray and Wash the other day but nothing seemed to happen, darn. I can’t stand those little creatures.
