How much can you be bought for?

cozumel · Apr 13, 2008, 07:59 PM

So, I was just watching one of those Japanese game shows and got thinking that maybe a poll would be fun.

mos2k · Apr 13, 2008, 08:09 PM

maybe a dozen billion dollars would be just fine.. LOL

cozumel · Apr 13, 2008, 08:14 PM

My mimumum price would be 12.5k but 250k would be nice too!!

GeneralClaymore · Apr 13, 2008, 08:17 PM

None of those options is enough. It gonna have to be 1 mil atleast before I try something like that.

**kris23** · Apr 13, 2008, 08:27 PM

ill eat them cockroaches if you gave me high power computer parts!

they dont taste that bad....

Just Learnin' · Apr 13, 2008, 08:28 PM

Man, $500.00, that's a new kit of DDR3! Mmmm PROTEIN.

**kris23** · Apr 13, 2008, 08:30 PM

lol ill do it for a set of DDR3 no prob!

[hobo]eclipse · Apr 13, 2008, 08:36 PM

is someone put $500 and 30 cockroaches in front of me i would have to be weary, but if i saw $2500 setting there next to 30 cockroaches i'd prolly ask for ketchup and a chaser, anything higher would be no question!

**kris23** · Apr 13, 2008, 08:43 PM

man if i got 250,000....

ill do it, that would be enough to pay for my college straight out!

and then maybe the first down payment on a house and a new car?

duuude ill eat 30 cockroaches for that! hey gimmie 60

just as long as these werent harvested from public restrooms or nuclear power plants....

i think my health is worth more than 250,000

Judas · Apr 13, 2008, 08:46 PM

given any dollar value about 500.. i would.. but of course i'd push for more....

wiggly roaches is nothing..... some of it can be considered a delecacy

**kris23** · Apr 13, 2008, 08:49 PM

lol cozumel, can you put a choice up there "any of the above?"

cozumel · Apr 13, 2008, 08:51 PM

[hobo]eclipse man, no alcohol, ketchup or any other condiments are allowed.

kris23 - good on ya. You'd be prepared to do 60!!! I reckon they should run a college grant system where they offer this type of system for ordinary folks like you and me.

Meanwhile Judas would eat them instead of caviar and champagne. (Maybe a Canadian thing lol j/k)

Sadly, DH doesn't allow for editing of polls. The management [at DH] should eat a plate of roaches for their lack of foresight I think.

cozumel · Apr 13, 2008, 08:59 PM

Do Mice eat cockroaches?

**Mousey** · Apr 13, 2008, 09:02 PM

Who voted $500, cheap foo'z xD

mos2k · Apr 13, 2008, 09:03 PM

sorry duplicate post

mos2k · Apr 13, 2008, 09:04 PM

no, they're herbivores..

[hobo]eclipse · Apr 13, 2008, 09:20 PM

cmon folks gotta have water atleast!

Son_of_Thunder · Apr 13, 2008, 09:27 PM

I put 12.5, but really, I'd probably do it for 2.5.

500 is one paycheck from my old job, I know how fast that amount disappears on bills and rent. Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to have the aftertaste out of my mouth before the money runs dry.

Zelig · Apr 13, 2008, 09:33 PM

I'd do it for $500, if I could be reasonably sure I wasn't going to pick up any odd diseases.

IEMC · Apr 13, 2008, 11:00 PM

2500, but 1000 is probably fine with me.

Doesn't seem that bad.

oh polls can be edited, but only by a select few

"Any of the above" option added

personally, I wouldn't do it, but then I'm a very fussy eater

Markius · Apr 14, 2008, 03:19 AM

Madagascan hissing roaches?

GutterPunk · Apr 14, 2008, 07:29 PM

i couldn't do it... disgusting.

Vikingod · Apr 14, 2008, 08:07 PM

I'd do it for $12.5k, but I wouldn't like it.

For $50k, I'd do it dressed in a clown suit.

That's what I put too, just in case I had to go to the emergency room for a stomach pump - I'd want 10k left over to last until after the taste left my mouth as well - very practical.

Indeed, they are supposed to be a delicacy - and if someone else can eat them, I can too!

Markius · Apr 15, 2008, 03:35 AM

again what kind of roaches? and can we cook them?
