Hi all!

Today's guest questioner is my mom!... Vicky P. 

Please head over to her page when you are done with your answer...she would love more connections and is very active on gather!

 

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

 

What would you do for $10,000?

$100,000?

Or are you priceless? ;-)

Would you eat a live grub? A cooked grub? for 10 grand?

How about a tarantula? for 10 grand?

For $100,000 would you eat a cereal bowl full of live worms and cockroaches?

Or name something you would do for what ever amount of money you choose!

Go wild!

*mandi says: I would eat the cooked grub for 10 grand.

Thanks baby, For a million I would eat just about anything, except cockroaches, I can't stand them, ok maybe if they were covered in chocolate. For 10 grand I would definitely eat a live grub(and from what I've seen on tv, no they don't taste like chicken.
~*Jackie Ferrari*~ Jul 1, 2008, 4:04pm EDT
Yes to the COOKED grub but NO to the cockroaches or tarantula.


*hi mom*
Ginny H. Jul 1, 2008, 4:06pm EDT
I would pull a Miley Cyrus for $100,000. I'm a prude =P.
thanks all!!

There is no way I could eat the roaches...my skin is crawling right now and there are none in sight! (thank god!)
Ginny?? you mean the photos?
Lynn R. Jul 1, 2008, 4:09pm EDT
For $10,000 I'd probably eat anything cooked. Maybe not the cockroaches. UGH!!

For $100,000 I think I'd probably have to down the roaches and everything else. Altho' I'd probably gag. I agree with Vicki and Ann, I think they'd have to be coated with something.

Nothing raw or rotted, ever. Yuck, I'm almost gagging as we speak. lol
kelldogg ! Jul 1, 2008, 4:10pm EDT
uh . . . yeah i would!!! i've eaten gross things for much less! worms and grubs are nothing!
kelldogg ! Jul 1, 2008, 4:11pm EDT
however . . . i'd be less likely to yak afterwards if they are cooked!
kelldog..I do NOT want to know! LOL!

Lynn...no rotten...ewww!
Cheryl W. Jul 1, 2008, 4:11pm EDT
I would eat none of that gross stuff for any amount of money...lol. My family thinks I'm crazy but its true.
there you go kelldog! LOL~!
Quinn (aka Entwife) Blackburn Jul 1, 2008, 4:12pm EDT
I could probably do the cooked grub. Don't think I could make myself do the rest unless I was starving.

..
U wishing you laughter
Cheryl, thats 1 point for the priceless team! LOL!
Quinn, I think if I was starving it would be worse...you know how you feel ill when you don;t eat? the thought of nasties would make me spew for sure!
Anne W. Jul 1, 2008, 4:13pm EDT
I will not eat gross things for money. But I will do embarassing things for free...
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:14pm EDT
I went to breakfast with my husband yesterday, and on the breakfast menu was brains with scrambled eggs, yum. Can you tell we live in redneck country.
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:15pm EDT
Hey Anne, like your thinking.
Carol P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:15pm EDT
I love Anne's answer. :)
Susan K. Jul 1, 2008, 4:15pm EDT
I would not eat anything for any amount of money!!!
Thankfully, I am happy with our current grocery budget ... (;

Just for the record, I would not go on a roller coaster for any amount of $$$, either!
Just so you know!!!
(lol)
JoAnne D. Jul 1, 2008, 4:19pm EDT
I think I will pass also, can't get it past my eye sight.
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:23pm EDT
Susan, I'd do the roller coaster, if I could take a Valuim before going on it.
Vic Needs Coffee Jul 1, 2008, 4:25pm EDT
I don't think I'd eat any of it.
B F. Jul 1, 2008, 4:41pm EDT
I would do just about anything as long as I didn't have to pay taxes on the money... LOL
Douglas Eden Jul 1, 2008, 4:41pm EDT
I tend to think that I'd do almost anything for enough cash but eating things is my limit. ( maybe cooked and diguised and as long as puking doesnt disqualify me. )
BUT I would eat spinach or salad for 10k

Maybe even live veggietarian for a week for 10k


Posing for lude pics is a easy one. SURE thing.

I'd lie to congress for 10k and even do jail time for a RESPECTABLE president for 100k ( tax free of course )

when it comes to physical pain I am pretty tough, would let my body be pierced for 10K.

wouldnt cop to a homosexual relationship for less than half million.


might let pepsi or some company tatoo their logo on my back for 10k ? ? Maybe 25k ?
Rob Appell Jul 1, 2008, 4:47pm EDT
I'd do the cooked grub for $10,000, but I'm not putting any live bugs in my mouth to eat for any amount. (There's other things I'd do for more than 10 grand besides eat a cooked bug, too!)
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:48pm EDT
Wow, Douglas your kind of easy.
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:49pm EDT
Rob, f you just swallow them it isn't as bad as trying to chew them.
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 4:50pm EDT
That should be "if" up there.
suey v. Jul 1, 2008, 4:50pm EDT
Are we playing fear factor?
April M. Jul 1, 2008, 4:52pm EDT
I'm not sure about tarantulas.. unless it was cooked ;D but I WOULD eat a live bowl of grubs and shit for a 100 grand!! dayumm who wouldn't?? ;D
Sassy Cat Jul 1, 2008, 4:55pm EDT
Me not eat grubs or anything like that. i gag on a bit of eggshell
Teresa W. Jul 1, 2008, 4:58pm EDT
Oh gross, that just makes me want to barf thinking about eating a bug of any sort! Euwww, I want to say that there is no amount of money that could get me to eat bugs, especially live ones but that's a lot of money so I would try very hard to make myself eat whatever bug they paraded in front of me as long as they had my pile of cash sitting right next to me in plain sight!
Sharon P. Jul 1, 2008, 5:10pm EDT
Why not, a good part of the world do. They are good protein.
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 5:12pm EDT
Your right Sharon.
CyberGwen ! Jul 1, 2008, 5:24pm EDT
Iam not so good with eating gross stuff. I might try for 100,000, but I am not about to humiliate myself by throwing up for a penny less!
April wins...she would eat grubs AND shit! ewwww!!LOL!
damn skippy Gwen!
Martha R. Jul 1, 2008, 5:44pm EDT
don't think id do anything like that it would have to be alot more money than that to eat grubs. yuck!
thanks martha!
Ron B. Jul 1, 2008, 5:47pm EDT
Money is important to me, like everyone else. However, it isn't much of a motivator. If it could buy happiness, we could all drive to Memphis to sit and laugh with Elvis on the front porch. Except he's in the back yard.
Felix R. Jul 1, 2008, 5:48pm EDT
I won't do anything I wouldn't normally do for money...like work. I'm like a big teenager I won't do anything I don't feel like doing. Certainly not for money. I am not motivated by money.

I wouldn't eat anything disgusting or unpalatable for any amount of money.
thanks guys!

Ron, I would rather sit with Elvis in the media room in the basement...ever been down there?? very cool!
Heidianna "Coriander" T. Jul 1, 2008, 5:54pm EDT
If I could cook em up myself and add any sauce or spices, I'd eat worms and grubs. Not sure on the tarantula.
thanks Cori!
samantha b. Jul 1, 2008, 6:04pm EDT
What would you do for $10,000? hmm...not sure
$100,000?hmm...still not sure

Or are you priceless? ;-) maybe

Would you eat a live grub? A cooked grub? for 10 grand?NO, NOT AT ALL EVER

How about a tarantula? for 10 grand? NO, NOT AT ALL EVER

For $100,000 would you eat a cereal bowl full of live worms and cockroaches? NO NOT AT ALL EVER

Or name something you would do for what ever amount of money you choose! I WOULD GET ARCHIE TO THE BOWL OF LIVE WORMS AND COCKROACES
Samantha LOLOLO!! thats thinking!
vivian G. Jul 1, 2008, 7:02pm EDT
Not any of the above.
Bill's Spirit Jul 1, 2008, 7:06pm EDT
Mmmm... Grubs... sauteed in a little EVO over a medium-high heat...

... add a dash of cayenne and you've got Hobo oysters.

... tastes like chicken, feels like jello.


Just hand me the check after you quit gagging. :-)
LOL Bill!
thanks all!
Jennine D. Jul 1, 2008, 7:27pm EDT
YUCKO!!! there are some things I would not do for any amount of money. Period so guess I am priceless. Sure I like money but withing reasonable terms and need not for insane things.
thanks Jen!
Karen W. Jul 1, 2008, 8:15pm EDT
EWWWWW this is too gross for me guys.
I am priceless !!!!! ~~

Sorry my kids even ask me these questions the answer is always NO~

Karen

ps you guys made me itchy.
Vicky P. Jul 1, 2008, 8:54pm EDT
Awe come on guys, it's all good clean eating, well except maybe for April. Quick some body get the anti itch medicine for Karen.
Sorry karen...what's that on your shoulder??? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

hi ma ;-)
Aunt Boni H. Jul 1, 2008, 9:21pm EDT
Hmmmm...........let me see the cash first.
Aunt Boni, the cash would be right there waiting for you..Bon Appetite!
Beth G. Jul 1, 2008, 9:59pm EDT
Im boring, Id work hard for it!
Kimber L. Jul 1, 2008, 10:17pm EDT
I would never do anything that I wouldn't do normally in my everyday life for money. Eating that stuff is DISGUSTING and I would rather not do it at all! The money wouldn't matter, it is not enough of a motivator for me. ON THE OTHER HAND if you told me my children would be safe from death and all physical and mental pain/damage and live long healthy happy lives well into their 90's I would do anything!!!
Rebecca [Future Teacher] Jul 1, 2008, 10:40pm EDT
I couldn't do it...not even for a million dollars.
Hmmm... I think I'd just keep my day job which falls in between the two :) I don't think I could eat anything strange.
Barbara B. Jul 1, 2008, 11:02pm EDT
Hey that would be having a grudge against my tummy!! No Way!!
thanks ladies!
waving "Hi Mom" to Mandi's Mom :)

I wouldn't eat that for any amount of money, maybe the cooked grubs, IF puking was allowed and I could season them and probably mash them up first.

And it would have to be in cash. I'll be darned if my rent will go up for eating cooked grubs!

Priceless? Me? Naw, there's lots I'd do for money, which is so very easy to say when one is broke - besides, people actually do live on the things, right? Right?

Pass the valium, please.
Jan S. Jul 2, 2008, 4:58am EDT
Is chocolate coating included? That would probably influence my decision.

Sherine W. Jul 2, 2008, 10:23am EDT
I would try to eat almost anything for a large sum of money...what's a few minutes of gagging for $100,000?
Tina Coruth Jul 2, 2008, 11:10am EDT
Sherine and I could have a contest to see who could do it because my answer is the same - for a large sum of money, I would try to eat almost anything. Times are tough, I would feel really guilty if I didn't try!
Lynn R. Jul 2, 2008, 11:59am EDT
You know I was thinking this over and if we could swallow them whole, with something close by to wash it down, I think I could make myself do it. But only for the bigger money. lol

We watch Survivor Man on Sat. That man is crazy and can eat almost anything. The entire show I'm gagging at the thought. Guess if you were hungry enough, you'd eat just about anything free of charge. ICK, Yuck!!
Sharon B. Jul 2, 2008, 12:35pm EDT
I don't think so for no amount of money.
Mary Ann S. Jul 2, 2008, 8:47pm EDT
I would have to be pretty desperate to eat those yucky things.
Can't I just smile and comment back to everyone?
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Jul 2, 2008, 10:45pm EDT
cockroaches and a lot of things I could nt do for all the money in the world I am allergic to them what would I do with money dead???
I ll eat rattle snake already did about 15 yrs ago
Connie C. Jul 3, 2008, 12:17am EDT
I dont think I would do any of those things for any amount of money
Dino C. Jul 3, 2008, 2:20pm EDT
eating stuff gross is just a limit thats hard to cross.

How about standing neck deep in cow manure or swimming thru a stagnant pond?

Maybe standing nude in pudding or jello ? ?



A freidn here asked how much it'd take to kill someone in another country like a terrorist, if you never get punished ? ?

He also wanted to say standing in a dept store window modeling only a condom or thong for an hour ? ?


DONT judge me by him , tho, hes a nutcase LOL
Dino C. Jul 3, 2008, 2:21pm EDT
dunno why my mind goes to nudeness so quickly
Patti M. Jul 6, 2008, 7:42am EDT
I'm with Susan, no gross stuff or roller coasters
