Roach For The Sky

The following is a public service announcement from The Department of Weird Travel and Tourism…

Looking to extend your kids' education beyond being able to recite every item on a McDonald's menu? Wondering how to distract Grandma from spitting partially chewed food across the dinner table? Maybe your wife's having an affair with Frank the slaughterhouse patron, and you want to woo her back.

No-o-o-o-o-o-o problem.

You can achieve all this and more by visiting one of America's most stunning tourist attractions. That's right – friends will be envious, co-workers will refuse to speak to you out of jealousy, and members of the opposite sex will melt like a Milky Way in the Saudi sun when you tell them you've been to THE COCKROACH HALL OF FAME.

Conveniently located off I-75 in Plano, Texas, this cultural golden nugget offers some of the finest dead cockroaches dressed as celebrities you'll ever see. From the lavish, sequined, ivory-tinkling magic of Liberoachi, to the cool, studious, financial brain of presidential-no-hoper-turned-insect Ross Pe-roach (pictured right), The Cockroach Hall Of Fame takes care of all your insect impersonating needs.

And after an action-packed day of watching these perished performing pests, what better way to unwind than to indulge in some "Larvets Original Worm Snacks". These seasoned insect larva will make your taste buds crawl with delight, and your stomach buzz with pleasure.

So what are you waiting for? Head down to The Cockroach Hall of Fame, because as they say- "Everything's bug-ger in Texas".
