Doodlebug Hunting: In Clinton Co., KY, rhyme recited Eternal Doodlebugging Controversy nowhere near settled: So far, no reports of success, actually bringing a Doodlebug to the surface, by either the Propaganda Poetry Technique or the Coaxing with a Straw Protocol. -CM About: photo of Rockhouse and Discovery of Doodlebug Holes there-at By Shellie Elmore I apologize for not knowing more about local doodlebugs, as I was educated about doodlebugs from the Albany area. I was taught to get on my hands and knees, with my mouth near the hole, and loudly proclaim: "Doodlebug, doodlebug, come out of your hole!I wasn't taught about the straw, perhaps because I am a female Republican, but I did marry a minister of the Gospel, so the straw technique may not be out of reach. I did attempt to pass on my wisdom to my son, but he showed no interest, probably because his father is a northerner who had never heard of doodlebug calling before our Rockhouse experience. Thanks. Shellie Elmore, for remembering this tactic for gathering Doodlebugs from their holes. Sheila A. Neat, who grew up about half way smack dab between Columbia, KY, and Rockhouse Bottom recalls using the same method. Her husband confirmed your sighting of Doodlebug holes at Rockhouse. For him, it was a secondary discovery, just as yours was. A common problem we've heard in Doodlebug Hunting, even from Billy Joe Fudge, is that very few, if any, can recall success with either frightening the Doodlebug out of its hole by reciting poetry, or by using the Coaxing with a Straw Protocol. Uncles and fathers told kids one method or the other would work, but no one we've talked to remembers actually seeing a Doodlebug. Photographs of a successful Doodlebug Hunt would be greatly appreciated. -EW This story was posted on 2010-10-09 03:03:36
