Yummy. :)

That's disgusting.

meh, I ate a live earthworm in biology to get out of an F once.

I don't think I ever ate insects, although I did used to try and pull the shells off snails to see if they became slugs.

I'd do it. Hell, I'd be willing to eat the roach just too know what eating a cockroach is like (and how many times are you going to find a roach that is guaranteed not to be covered in trash and pesticides?).

Ate an ordinary cockroach on a bet once as a little kid. They don't taste so good as I recall. I'll pass.

Did they? Or did they just squirm around for a while then die?

I don't actually recall. Perhaps a re-test is in order?

I'd eat it. Why not? When I was a teenager I used to eat bugs all the time.

They would die. All their organs are in the shell.

Could be worse. They could tell you that you have to blow the guys working the ticket booth.

Really? How do they manage to fit everything in when they curl up?

When you were a teen ager? Did you spend your teen years in some horrible African famine?

Even if the, "it's a cockroach" part didn't gross me out, I'm pretty sure the wriggling (since it's live) and the hissing (since it's a live hissing cockroach) would bother me.

And Smunk, how did eating a worm get you out of an F? LOL

Are they hiring for ticket booth guys?

No. It was the drugs...

The shell is part of their body. All they have to do is retract the head and the foot, since that's all that's out.

I think I could do it, if I could break it into bite sized chunks so I didnt have it hissing at me while I was biting it.

I'd do it. I have a bad habit of eating random things. I ate a crayon last month because I was bored and someone told me to. Me getting bored ends with me trying to eat things. Moths, butterflies, ants, worms...yeah.


never tried cockroach, but I wouldn't be against it.

My first question would be: "What do I get if I stick it in my pants?"

I'd probably eat it, but I'd be more likely to stick it in my pants. I'll stick almost anything in my pants. :)

So you are a bugger.:p

For some reason, I can actually imagine you doing that. :)

And you've mangaged to have kids. I'm impressed. :p

Me and some friends are already going next month...and no, I'm not the one that's eating the Cockroach. :)

Could be worse. They could tell you that you have to blow the guys working the ticket booth.

I'd actually rather do that than eat the bug... ;)

I would consider it, if I was going to Six Flags in Illinois and if Six Flags ever had anything I gave a damn to ride.

Why eat the roach myself when I can use my powers of persuasion to make someone else eat it for me? 2 to 3 inches of cockroach is a whole mouthful of disgusting crap, bleh.

All the people that have to wait in line for 2 hours for each ride would be pretty pissed when you cut in line, though.

And you've mangaged to have kids. I'm impressed. :p

Nobody was as surprised as I was. :)

That's...disgusting. :eek:

It wouldnt kill a person to eat it.Yoko Ono has been living off a dead beatle for decades.

But of course! We all know about clowns and pants....

Without hesitation! There's no danger, and it would be no crispier than the chicken wings I ate tonight!

You're lucky you survived. Cockraoches carry every imaginable disease there is. A couple of years ago in NZ, they had a celebrity survivor-type show. One of the challenges was to eat a live cockroach. Instead of giving them one that had been sterilised (like they do in Fear Factor), the tv crew just found some.
As a result one of the contestants, Lana Cocroft, almost died.

In Thailand, you can eat pretty anything you want. They have stalls selling deepfried insects:

And in NZ, there's the Wildfoods festival every year, where you can eat all sorts of crap, including shots of Bulls semen (think I'll pass that one up):
