For our well-heeled and adventurous readers, there's an
eBay auction going on that you might be interested in. For the first time in it's 102-year history, the Explorer's Club is making tickets to its famous dinner available to the public:
The Explorers Club Annual Dinner—the oldest, continuously-held fundraising dinner in New York City—will begin with a cocktail hour featuring exotic hors d'oeuvres such as honey-glazed scorpions, elk stroganoff, tempura tarantula and other unusual foods.
I know from experience that tempura anything is quite good, so I wouldn't worry about the tarantula. What I would worry about, though, is that you're actually being served the exotic foods on the menu. If you'll recall 1990's
The Freshman, starring a fresh-faced Matthew Broderick and a less-than-fresh Marlon Brando, you know what I mean. Broderick had to get a Komodo Dragon to an Explorer's-like dinner but, in the end, they were served chicken or some shit. Don't let that happen to you, loyal readers. You need to be right there watching when your scorpion gets glazed. Hot.

which one did?
the littlest. my mom found her in the backyard with a roach hanging from her lip.
hehehe. that is funny and foul. i bet your mom wasn't fazed though, after so many years of watching you put bugs and sticks in your mouth just cause you dropped a bit of ketchup on them. i ate a cicada once, but thats different, there was lots of peer pressure involved. and i was allowed to rip off its wings and legs first.
i drank a firefly once. i would like to say there was peer pressure, but it may have been my idea.
