the Deed's Been Done

Are they alive when this happens? Seems like that might help the distance with their jumping added to the spitting.

Alive, and, I think that your theory is probably on target...

Hey it's early. I thought it said cricket splitting, not spitting.
Crickets still have to be better eats than a cochroach.

Wow. I'm not sure why you would split one. Then again, I'm not sure why they spit them, either.

My son has eaten them at camp in past years- cajun cooked crickets, in a skillet over the campfire.

It's all protein...

Sorry Mermy--didn't mean to hijack!

I didn't realize Purdue had so much Agriculture stuff going on...

I can see this. You're camping, the dang crickets are keeping you up.
Fry pan, some spices, and you have a nice little mcnuggett as a late night snack and peace and quiet.

But it is a very cute nickname.

OHHHH! I thought Pippi and Fyl were two separate entities....I like all her nicknames.

While I was painting the dollhouse at 3 a.m., I was thinking about the Philippa in the Anne of Green Gables books. Does Mermy have a source for that beautiful name?

Miss Kitty, please refer back to Gotothebeachmom's post, Item #1. It is happening already. Someone :roll: got a phone call from her mother at 11 pm last night--after failing to return both her mother's AND her father's earlier calls--and what should this someone tell her mother?? That she couldn't talk too much because she was out wandering the campus, lost. Audible gasp and instant heart attack at the other end of the line. "No, No, don't worry Mama, I'm with people! <insert manic laughter in the background from various unknown co-conspirators> Says I, "Shouldn't you be in bed now?" <insert more manic laughter now> ah well, at least I know my girl's having a good time and not being homesick.

Trust Sarafunn to come up with Pippi! Although she's not really far from the traditional nicknames which are either Pip or Pippa. Philippa herself made up the nickname "Fyl." Philippa is an English name and not at all unusual, in honor of Merman, whom emigrated from the UK when he was 25. Both our kids have English names and dual citizenship.

Wishing Fyi/Pippi a great college career!

My niece is moving into Cawthon Hall at Florida State University this weekend. She has been accepted into the School of Music (had to sight-sing a piece of sheet music for which she had never heard the song before :shock: )...so proud of her!
