Ramblings of an old Doc

 

Saw this (take a look at the 8 slides in the show)…as well as a notice about a 50 mile wide swarm of grasshoppers over Texas…and figured this might be the right time to say, “It’s been great! Fanx for the fish!”, if these events are a portent of something awful to come…

Left something to be desired, syddie.

well... I'm sure it's all in the preparation.... I've had chocolate coated bees and fried grasshoppers... they were nice... and witchetty grub soup....yummy... almondy tasting... when our overpopulating reaches a point where we've eaten the planet out of stocks of food.... I'm sure they'll be coming up with acceptable recipes involving insects to make them tasty...

   the wichetty grub is very large compared to our grubs. Probably take more of ours to make a soup, but then they are very hard to find! Here is the odd question on this Monday. Are the insects humanely killed first, then eaten... or like lobsters, just thrown alive in boiling water ?

I think they are humanely gassed while watching huge projection screen footage of endless acres of wheat and rye crops... 

It's pretty quick... they don't have time to complain of the film quality being a little... grainy...
