Okay….this is just plain gross. Grasshoppers???? It it was meant to be eaten, they would sell them at the grocery store. I have never seen grasshoppers in the food section.
When I was a little girl, my dad ordered Grasshopper Pie and convinced me that it was made of grasshoppers. Obviously, as an adult I now know that to be a flat out lie and that I missed out on an opportunity to try Creme de Menthe at a young age. However…you’re an adult…and you knew they were real…and you STILL chose to eat them! EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

hmmm… self-exam for tapeworm? i don’t think i wanna know.
if i was being coerced into eating bugs, i think i’d try to pop off the head and legs before crunching down… but regardless, alcohol might be a prerequisite.

You know, I bet there’s plenty of new foods in New Mexico for you to discover and for Natasha to eat. This trip just got a whole lot more exciting.

dave2: as a vegetarian, you probably only have 4% chance of getting a tapeworm. but i get to eat meat, so i guess we’re even.
kat: 50%?!?!? yow! fess up… was it handwashing or rats?
fiorello: cricket tacos just sort of find me. i swear, i don’t go looking for them!
delmer: you know, that’s actually a pretty good idea! someone needs to supply all the mexican restaurants in chicago – why not me?
finn: after being all badass and demanding that we order it, there was no way i could back down. it was a bit more than i had bargained for…
don: that is so awesome! i had always heard they had to starve the patient, and then hold food near his mouth so the worm would crawl up his throat. soooo nasty!
derfina: oops… sorry!
shari: does the tapeworm poop in your stomach, though? because if so, then forget about it.
brandon: look what you did there! you got all topical on my ass!
lizriz: LOL – not sure i’ll be ordering another one…
churlita: i can’t believe you let that guy get away – seems like a real keeper!
claire: yes, i could have a lot of fun with a “begin anyway” theme.

I’m not even going to look at the quiz.
In future when I’m choosing yearly themes, I will remember that they can be used against me. “Begin anyway” would surely translate to “eat up” in your eyes.

I used to date a guy who ate live grasshoppers. It was his favorite party trick…We lived in California where it was warm all the time.
Maybe I could get me some of that tape worm. I have a Winter pelt to get rid of.

This happens in Sri Lanka all the time. You order a grasshopper burrito, but when you look inside it’s really a pile of dead cricketers.

I’ve always thought tapeworm would really help with weight management, and advised several former personal training clients to see what they could do about getting one.
(I’m great at those meetings where we say stuff about how creative, outside-the-box, and inventive we problem-solving “can-do” employees are. I do have a B.S. degree afterall.)
