Live crickets dont taste so bad (ie.. Thing we do for our Children)

Recommended Posts

So yesterday I get to spend a Beautiful day at an Amusement park with my daughter and a friend of hers. Perfect weather, Low crowd, Lines are not too bad.. It was a good day. Six Flags was doing their annual "Fright Fest" for Halloween where they have Halloween themed characters and shows around the park all day. Freddy, Jason, Leatherface and the sort wandering around the park all day and the shows were not horrible (for the most part) until we stumble across THIS One.

The Wheel of Fright. It is a Game Show and top prize?? A 2008 Season Pass. Soon as my daughter hears that.. She and her friend make sure that "I" get selected for this Game. Having no idea what I am getting into, I play along. They pick 4 people from the audience and bring them onstage. I should have been clued in after I was selected and as they take me around to bring me on stage, there is a team of paralegals and a stack of waivers that make the DZ waiver look small that they rush me through signing.

Once on stage they let us know that of the 4, only two will get to play for a "Chance to win a Season Pass". What we will have to do is have a DANCE OFF. Now I have been afflicted since birth with a horrible condition known as "Whiteboyitis" which basically translates to complete and total lack of rhythm and the total inability to dance. So we have to dance the "thriller dance" and the crowd will pick the two winners. At this point I struggling through what is left of my brain cells from the 80`s trying to figure out what the hell the Thriller dance is (The 80`s were not very kind to my brain cells, Several years are completely missing, others are only partially there). My Daughter and her friend(s) (Magically, since I am trapped on stage, My daughter and her friend have recruited several other teenage boys to their Cheering squad. (I mentally make note of which ones to Kneecap once I am finally done with this stage thing. I can be a little over protective sometimes>:(). My daughter and her friends manage to communicate to me how to "Thriller" dance from the audiance. Cue the Music and I bust my Move. My growing Cheering section springs to life and I advance to the finals. (Sadly enough, YES. It is on video. My daughter and I are currently in negotiations on what it will cost me to have it destroyed)

Down to me and one other guy for the "Chance" to win a Season Pass. They bring out this wheel. With sections marked cockroaches, wax worms, crickets, nightcrawlers, Rocky Mountain oysters and Habenero peppers!. Then they bring out all of the above.. Wait a minute here. Those look pretty dang real. No they ARE Real.

Basically it is spin the wheel, whatever it lands on, you eats a Full Shot Glass of. At this point, I am considering backing down. No way in hell I am eating Live Cockroach or any of that other nasty crap.

Then I look down and see my daughter cheering away in the front row, I cant let her down. Spin the wheel and see what I get. [:/]

Live Crickets. Could have been worse. The other guy gets Wax Worms (Basically look like maggots to me). So now all I have to do eat about 10 Live crickets without hurling. I eat the crickets, the other guy eats the worms.

Now we each get a prize. We get to pick from three Envelopes. In one there is a 2008 season pass another has "front of line" pass for the rest of the day and the Third is a Plastic Finger puppet.

He draws first and what does he get?? The finger Puppet. He ate a shot glass of Tiny white worms and gets a 2 cent finger puppet. Suddenly I think this may have all been for nothing. I draw and what do I get?? Yea, Dads a hero, I got the season pass for my daughter and spent the rest of the day trying to pick cricket legs out of my teeth.

They don’t taste too bad except for the legs are just too crunchy and tend to get stuck in your throat.;):)

Knowing J...he can be had...with enough razz from the Farmers, he will eventually break down and show the vid.

So...all you Farmers, notify everyone...J-razz is ON until he shows it.

:)


J...I gotta hand it to you. Live crickets? Ewwwww!
I don't even watch those reality shows where they make you eat crazy shit...I dry heave every time I see it.[barf]

My reality and yours are quite different.

...OK... Who's a GA local who knows J well enough to know his daughter? Time to bypass the middleman and go straight to the source >:(.



:D:D:D
Maybe you missed the part about, "I mentally make note of which ones to Kneecap once I am finally done with this stage thing. I can be a little over protective sometimes"

We've met the daughter but nobody knows her. We think she is adopted. She's much too beautiful to be blood-related to J. BTW, J is serious about the kneecap statement and my previous sentence may just put me on "the list".
:D:D[:/]

One thing we do know about her is that she is, or was, a competition drag racer.

WOW. My dad never would've made it through the waivers but it would've meant the world to me if he had done something like that. You are the MAN! Granted, you also desperately need to floss and brush your teeth a few hundred times, but that's true love right there. :)

I so have the best CB now . . .

Just before a Jello Pass - Do you know what's been IN that mouth of his?

:o:D:D:D:D:D:D

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
