Really.
Scorpions.
Not scorpion-shaped biscuits...
Not scorpion-like meat products...
Scorpions.
There's no doubt that when we ordered these, the guys back in the kitchen got a laugh.
"Those dumb American tourists! They want to eat the scorpions again.
Tell Lee Sun to go move the boxes in the shed and find some arachnids."
Jeebus.
The first person to get a mouthful of chitin was Anne, one of the IBC crew...
Mmmm. That's good bug.
Mitch also imbibed...
Yum-O!
Not to be outdone, Yours Truly also enjoyed the treat. Twice.
I know what you're going to ask...
1. Crunchy, without much taste.
2. The stingers are still sharp. Don't eat that part.
Ben (Help Desk escapee and IBC Staffer) also was shamed into enjoying a bug...
(Alas, no picture though... :( )
Speaking of bugs...
We got a huge charge (heh) out of Ty electrocuting himself with a electronic bug zapper...No photos, but the visual will stay with me for a good long time...
Ty and Mark went to the Lotus shopping for a fan and some other goodies. One thing Ty picked up, along with the Corn Juice, was a paddle-shaped bug zapper.
We had enjoyed several adult beverages and had commenced monkeying about with the bug zapper and Ty had convinced himself that the device was either too technologically advanced for him in his current (heh) state, or the device was defective.
Right about that time, he shorted the two metal mesh surfaces against his hand. There was a pop and a blue spark and Ty almost vaulted over the railing of the balcony.
He got a nasty little charge that caused his arm to go numb for several minutes...
I laughed so hard I think I peed a little bit, and Mark was having trouble catching his breath.
Ten minutes after The Incident his arm was still tingling...
Good times, good times...
TBG- Bug Cruncher...
