With Halloween right around the corner, alot of people who throw parties for the occasion are looking for games and other activities to make their parties more fun. Well if you're having trouble finding any really good games or activities for your party guests, you could always do what Six Flags has recently done...hold a "Madagascar hissing Cockroach Eating Contest"! The good people at Six Flags in Gurnee Iliinois are doing just that this Halloween by holding a contest where people who devour one of these nasty little things (pictured) gains unlimited line jumping privledges for the entire day at their theme park! Of course Six Flags had to offer some really juicy prize to get any rational human being to down one of these things, but the question is it really worth it?

In my estimation...no. Sure most Six Flags parks rock but not enough for me to down a hissing cockroach. An earthworm?? Maybe...a cricket...possibly...but not a hissing cockroach. Or any cockroach for that matter. But would such a contest make for a great Halloween game? After all, Halloween is the time when we're supposed to get nasty, gruesome, and creepy in an attempt to scare other people. What's more scary than letting your neighbors know that you're holding a Madagascar hissing cockroach eating contest? And what's more scarier to your neighbors than knowing that someone living next door to them actually has Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches?

Or maybe your friends will be so freaked out by the idea that it'll be all the scares they need for Halloween. Then again, while most people wouldn't eat one of these things...they'd sure be willing to crowd around to see who would. Plus think of the other benefits that this would give you. Once people in your hood find out that you're holding a Halloween party where people are eating Madagascar Cockroaches, not only will it draw more people to your party, but even the average guy just out for a Halloween night drive will probably stop by your party. Hell, maybe even an actor or two in you live in L.A.

Then there are the cool points you'll score with your friends, and lastly the neverending bragging rights. Every time someone comes up with a cool story or tries to steal away the spotlight during a conversation about how *totally sick* their party was, simply announce that you held a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach eating contest at your party and you'll quickly and easily crush that persons spotlight in no time at all. I mean let's face it, that's one party story that simply cannot be topped. So this Halloween, when you're pulling your hair out about how to make your Halloween Party unique and different, and how to make it stand out amongst everyone elses, remember...you've got a little friend on your side called the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach...he can make your party the sickest fiesta in history...in more ways than one.
