jima / October 8, 2003 11:28 AM

You Indian summer! Stop summing Indians!

This may be good for "Ask the librarian", why do they call it Indian Summer?

Where are all these ladybugs coming from?

The ones downtown are the evil fake ladybugs, Mexican Bean beetles. They all have a more orange-yellowish color and aren't as rounded as ladybugs are. If you walk down Michigan ave you will be attacked, so watch your arse.

sheesh i walked into work today covered in ladybugs.
i heard a cicada too!
*gush*
pick a ladybug up. if you feel a weird tingle, it's just grabbing on real tight-like.
you've just experienced a Ladybug Hug!

Oh goodness.

Alice / October 8, 2003 3:25 PM

Is that a hint, Naz?

Naz / October 8, 2003 3:30 PM

No, a hint, nooooo.

Double feature: Indian summer and why ladybugs?

Out here in the northwest suburbs, it's the box elder bugs.

I thought we got rid of all the improper Native American references when the Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves.
Go Cubs! O Mama!

Well, autumn is my favorite season. And I'm a Sox fan. So one could easily understand why it's raining shit on me.
