There was also the woman who died from water intoxication in the Hold Your Wee For A Wii contest.

But the fifth post wins the thread. :slight_smile:

I hope the roaches didn’t shit in his mouth. That would be gross.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I live in Boca Raton and work in Pompano. I likely drive by that place all the time. Where are you located?

LOL

I’m going to bookmark this and go back to it whenever I need a laugh. Nice!

  1. If you swallow a roach without chewing, will it crawl around in your stomach before it dies? That would be gross.

  2. Did the second place finisher get the python? Or does it go to the winner’s heirs?

That’s what happened, he was eating so fast in an attempt to win that he wasn’t chewing properly and many of the roaches were left alive!! The roaches trying to chew their way out is what killed him! :eek:

Never happen. Big Roacha will bury that article and kill anyone involved. I’ve heard about the shady shit they pull all over the internet.

As for the guy doing the roach puking I am sure there was some random dog nearby that cleaned it up post haste. And then that dog puked it up and yet another dog came to the rescue.

An Urban Legend in the making. :slight_smile:

Plus, the guy had just won a contest the day before, the “Eat the Most Nuclear Waste” contest. The roaches were eating and GROWING! It was like a scene from Alien, I tells ya’.

Remember the Montana man who was struck and killed while dressed up like Bigfoot? Consider the possibility of an afterlife where these folks meet and discuss their final earthly adventures. :smiley:

I tend to think of the family members who have to plan a funeral for these fools. I imagine other mourners offering their condolences, and think I’d have a hard time keeping a straight face.

Not to mention if there’s a wake & someone sees a roach on the table of food.:eek:

I heard the python was awarded to the estate of the “winner”.

Aren’t there, like, 50,000 pythons roaming free in Florida?

A net, a small child and an overnight trip and voila! Free snake, without doing anything disgusting.

Cool. :cool:

I know many persons who consider “meat” to refer only to the flesh of mammals and perhaps birds. Considering invertebrate animals not to be meat is not a new thing.

I’m betting that most of his digestive system just got up and left.

Oh my God. Full video here. The contest starts at around 2:18: - YouTube]

In Florida, roaches eat you!

They weren’t palmetto bugs, were they? Those things are downright aggressive.
