Poll, Just for the Hell of it.

When I get overtired, odd questions come into my mind. Pointless questions. Questions the answers to which I don't actually need. So I've made a poll about one one of these questions that popped into my head tonight. I've heard all these various phrases used by various people. I suspect that they might be regional. The facts are undoubtedly of no consequence whatsoever. I submit that this fact makes this a perfect Live Journal poll.

Cricket

There's a cricket in my room. It isn't chirping, but I know it's there because I've seen it a couple of times this evening. Each time I think I can catch it, it scurries away and hides. If I don't catch it and put it outdoors, something bad is likely to happen to it. A cat might catch it. I might step on it in the dark. (Eww.) It might get caught up by the vacuum cleaner. Odd thing is, if I saw a roach that size in the house, I'd freak. When I see roach's music-making cousin, all I worry about is it's welfare. See what talent can do, even for a bug?
