Brood X has arrived. Are you ready?

Billions of black, shrimp-size bugs with transparent wings and beady red eyes are beginning to carpet trees, buildings, poles, and just about anything else vertical in a wide region of the U.S. The invasion zone stretches from the eastern seaboard west through Indiana and south to Tennessee.

This whole thing is a JIP Smiley: motz

Every time I read this headline my brain fills in:
...for some football.

(It is the theme intro "song" to a popular broadcast of American Football here in the US).

Now I have moved it up to the top of the list. Yet more false hope...either that or I have to try to tune into NFL Europe.
