Quote(The) man, was "the life of the party," stuffing handfuls of insects into his mouth with about 30 other contestants vying for the grand prize of a python at the Ben Siegel Reptile Store, Broward Sheriff's investigators said.Shortly after the contest was over, Archbold wasn't feeling well and began to regurgitate. He collapsed outside the store and later died at a hospital, investigators said.
Mmmm, roach regurgitation from a dying man. Sounds like the start of a new contest ...
I am shocked that a roach-eating contest ended poorly.

They ate roaches to get a lousy snake?
Wait, Colorado roaches or bugs?
Did he win?

Yup.
It sure would suck to die after eating roaches in a roach-eating contest - and come in
second. :(
Hopefully they clean him out good enough so roaches don't boil out of him during the funeral from the eggs hatching and heating their way through his corpse.

Presumably, it will form part of the dead guy's estate.
Meaning, the lawyers will get it. ;)

Hey, don't be down on the guy; stupid people have to find ways to die too.

Must've been the dinner course.
Is there a right way for such contest to go?

It was a good movie.
I don't know what it was but I was traumatized early on by a movie that involves someone in bed and hordes of roaches rush in.

I didn't understand it.
What's so hard to understand about someone in the future with a shaky camera arm sending images back via tachyons to sleeping scientists about them opening a cannister of sinister fluid that is the son of the anti-god as a prelude to the end of the world?
Exactly. :)
