Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Cricket

Peggy’s friend had a birthday, and to celebrate, a bunch of them went down to Florida. They wend to Disneyland and to Universal Studios. While she was at the Jurassic Park exhibit, Peggy was nice enough to get me something. She got me some crickets. Some dead crickets. Some dead crickets that were dusted with bacon and cheese flavored powder.

I was supposed to eat them?

Chirp, chirp.

Well, I did eat one. It was mostly just dry and crunchy. It had a faint dirt flavor, and of course the bacon and cheese flavor. But I’m glad I have finally eaten a cricket. I’ve been curious about it for a while. Thanks, Peggy! (She hasn’t commented for a while because this is the busiest season of her whole year at work.)

    Gah!! I am both disgusted and impressed. I couldn’t do it. We’ll just call you John the Baptist from now on.

    On Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, he did a Halloween special and served gross stuff at his party. One of the things was dried tarantulas, which everybody tasted like crab, only light and crispy. “Crab popcorn” is how one lady described it. Then I died from awfulness.

    Bah, I think I could eat those little crickets. Lets see you eat one of the giant mutant hump-back crickets that invade our basement each year.

    Hah! Are we starting all the comments today with something-a-something? Camelback crickets creep me out. I’d have trouble being in the same room with one, much less eating one.

      Nah, it’s just worked out that way so far.

        Hat. It took me a long time to get this.

    Are you training for Survivor?

    Are you sure these weren’t just a bag of deceased dancing insects from backstage at one of the Disney shows? I mean, it did say “Crick-ettes” (as in “Rockettes”) on the box, right?

    …and I’m pretty sure the ladies were in Disney WORLD, or they took one heck of a commute across the country to see everything else, too…which I wouldn’t put past our Peggy, now that I think of it…

    Braaaad! Those were for Max! (The chocolate was yours)

    (Carol-I didn’t go to DisneyWorld or Disneyland…it was Universal, St. Augustine, & Clearwater)
