yeech!! Dead moth carcasses. They must have tasted nice, if you kept eating them. Not that I'm volunteering to try <gag>
I'm told it was a one time event while my mother was busy talking on the phone, and the moth dust and crushed moth corpse in my hand got me busted. I do like shrimp, maybe they taste the same. I don't remember.  |

The good book is not exactly consistent. 'Emerson once said, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Or, in plainer english, even though it's probably safer not to, sometimes you just have to eat bugs. |

Definitely a cultural thing. I ate locusts, grilled, years ago, and they are one of the tastier food I've ever eaten: quite similar to shrimps or other crustaceans, minus the fishy part.
I can't force mystelf to try raw or living insects, though, or larvae; but I find disgusting and therefore impossible to eat also oysters, so it makes sense.

I find shellfish nasty, too.
Then again, I wouldn't eat moth carcasses these days, so who knows if my tastes will change one day? LOL

I'm not quite sure when this thread turned into talking about cooking bugs  ... but Anyway, not that anyone noticed but I was offline for 3 entire weeks, because the cable company is full of fucktards, and I missed all the judging 'til now. Too funny! And I'm super happy that a couple of my submissions were winners. I suppose it's statistical though, because I did submit a crapload of crappy stories. Now, where's the permanent crappy stories thread? I Suppose I'll go poke around.  |

Why? Why?

I need to find the person responsible for the term "woohoo" and kick them in the face.
Nevertheless, this is a brilliant thread.

I find it particularly disingenuous of Seabolt to attempt to claim that "Advertising is very organic to the 'Sims 3' experience." Apparently 'organic' is code for "We thought of some places we can stick it." Should they run out of ideas, I could gladly recommend some nice, organic place |

Why? Makes sense to me, they couldn't use the word sex without a mature rating being slapped on and it makes plenty of sense. "guess what hun? You get sex tonight!" "WOOHOO!" |

One day in college I was feeling very stupid. So I drove with Ben down to Maitland and toured EA Tiburon for an hour as an 'honorary intern'. I left feeling MUCH smarter. I recommend the experience to everyone. -this is a quote from an Ex-boyfriend of mine.. http://www.mediafire.com/?ng20de0zmly |

"I don't know about that,' said the poet. 'Scorpions sound unpoetic to me. Wild honey and locusts seem more appropriate, according to the standard poetic instructions, although I've never really developed the taste for insects.' 'I've always understood that the kind of locust people ate in wildernesses was the fruit of a kind of tree,' said Conina. 'Father always said it was quite tasty.' 'Not insects?' said Creosote. 'I don't think so.' The Seriph nodded at Rincewind. 'You might as well finish them up, then,' he said. 'Nasty crunchy things, I couldn't see the point.'"  |

Clearly, that post will live in infamy. LOL Actually, I think the locust confusion stems from the use of the word, in translations, in both "honey and" and "plague of." I doubt people would complain if they were suddenly surrounded by thousands of trees bearing tasty fruit. |

Is it just me or does that girls mom have wings?  It drives me nuts that these writers can't seem to figure out how to tell a story if it isn't entirely dialog. And thanks for getting us going again rosenshyne  |

I like how the ugh . . . fariy mom-thing freaks with the mear mention of a boy. Cuz you know, when I mention one of my guy friends my mom always tells me that she won't be raising any of my teen-babies. The emo girl was the icing on the cake, but then again, I would want to cut myself too if my mom did that to me. |
