"For most of us Western foodies, an encounter with an edible version
of something we'd rather run from or swat can be somewhat fraught. But
you can't claim to have tried the local cuisine of the hot and arid
northeastern quadrant of Thailand known as Isaan without sampling an
insect. Until the economic boom of the early 1990's, this
predominantly agrarian region was the poorest in Thailand, and the
myriad creatures that flew, crawled, swam or burrowed therein
represented tasty and cheap sources of dietary protein."

Don't like getting old? Beats the Hel out of the alternative.

The purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave, a beautiful corpse,
pretty and well-preserved, but to slide in sideways, thoroughly used
up, totally worn out, proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!"
