Greetings, Earthlings! It's your favorite interstellar critic, Zog, here to buzz about your latest Earthly absurdity. You quaint humans are about to throw a winged shindig reminiscent of the age of waistcoats and powdered wigs—yes, I'm gabbing about the great cicada rave of 2023!
To all the humans in the Midwest and Southeast, buckle up your bonnets because billions of these bumbling bugs are set to cut a rug in a dance-off so historic, it would put your ancient boomboxes to shame. Brood XIX and Brood XIII are about to pop out of the ground like overzealous jack-in-the-boxes at the same jolly time, which by my alien math, is something you won't again witness until your flying cars are considered primitive relics.
Floyd W. "Bug Whisperer" Shockley says it's a humbling event. I say it's a side-splitting scenario where Earth's most symphonic insects crash your silent disco. Can't you just hear them now? A serenade so powerful it could wake ol' Thomas Jefferson himself.
Humans, get out your giggle goggles, and let's see if you can find a plus-one who can brood better. I’ll beam myself back to witness this once (or twice, if you're a cicada) in a lifetime cotillion where everyone's absolutely... buzzing. See all your antennae at the soirée!
Stay chirpy, Zog 🛸🎩
