Eat A Roach, Get In Free?

Okay, just a quickie for ya. I'm updating the New York Tails 'Calendar of Events' and one of the items I was sent was from a famous oddity museum here in Times Square which says, on Halloween Day, if you each a roach you'll get in free.

Yes, a live roach.

Eww.

Okay, I admit -- I whack and spray and stomp roaches in my kitchen and anywhere else the little buggers scurry out of in my house (thankfully this doesn't happen too often.) But intrigued, I wrote the sender and asked if these were just good ol' New York roaches they rustled up or otherwise. I was told they were bred by a bug breeder specially for an occasion such as this. Eh, I don't know. For some reason this doesn't sit right with me, and I'm no vegetarian. Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, there was no roach gobbling at the Halloween contests I was judging last weekend and this past weekend -- what a blast! I put some pictures up on my Facebook -- enjoy.
