Lib Eats Scorpion, Gets Sick, Blames Indians
If you've ever seen those scorpions encased in candy that are often for sale in Southwestern tourist shops, you've probably wondered who on earth would be dumb enough to eat one. The answer: a moonbat.
BigCityLib was told by the guy behind the counter at a shop in Yuma that "candied scorpion" was considered a delicacy by local Cocopah Indians, a claim about as believable as mounted "jackalope" heads. But this tourist bit — literally.
Unsurprisingly, it made him sick. He blames the Cocopah Indians.
On a tip from vixt.

"I, BigCityLib, Will Now Eat A Bug
Because its been a childhood dream of mine, and the folks at Hotlix candy have designed an attractive line of insect toffees. My immediate inspiration is this guy, and I have chosen a scorpion because a) they are distantly related to lobsters and I'm hoping the taste will be similar and, b) an old white guy behind the counter of a junk jewellery story in Yuma, Ariz. once told me that "candied scorpion" was considered a delicacy by the local Cocopah Indians."
So this 44 year old moron eats a scorpion because eating bugs is a childhood dream? He should kept his goal easy and eat that white glue paste...

But the origonal hippies (native Americans) eat them, so it must be right!
Excuse me, I have to laugh for ten minutes.

Too bad the lib didn't die. One less idiot running around.
