Do you think roaches are gross?

(No, that's not my hand... just a random pic I got off Google.)

Nah they taste pretty good.

I'd prefer not having to touch them. Except Madagascar hissing cockroaches. I hear they make decent pets.

I wouldn't mind them unless they're one of these bigger roaches. If it's your average one by size, no.

I've only seen like one roach, ever.
And that was in Estonia

I think they're gross, but I wouldn't like freak out when I saw it unless it was like in my food or something. (which apparently happens to little kids eating school-lunches sometimes... lol) I'd probably just trap it and kill it outside, because I don't want the blood and fat from the roach to get everywhere (btw, the white stuff from them is, disgustingly enough, fat - the blood is clear).

Ew. Typing that sentence made me wince.

Agree right there.

Despite their size, they never fail to petrify me. In other words, I hate them for a lot of reasons, but one in particular: they can't fly properly, and that usually ends in catastrophe.

Although I'd recommend you to tape them when they're mating. It's the funniest thing you'll ever see in your life.

Someone looks bored.... Fallout 3 is a good cure for that... and yes, it has giant mutant roaches in it.

Thanks baumaxx.

But... you didn't answer the question!

baumaxx1 · Post by **baumaxx1** » 15 Jan 2009, 08:47

I don't scream and run away from them... but they're not nice to find in your house... especially a kitchen. Not that I do at home of course, but if you did. Bleh!

I found one giant roach in the kitchen last year......... in the utensils cabinet! Absolutely grossed out and traumatising. I starved myself for 6 hours and skipped lunch time for dinner, until I found someone to exterminate it for me.

Not really, but they freak me out sometimes. It's not that they're gross, they're actually wonderful, but somehow scary.

FrankieGthang · Post by **FrankieGthang** » 15 Jan 2009, 16:50

totally don't like them.

It's their feelers.

Hate 'em... Back when i was a kid, we used to grab the biggest ones and perform insane experiments on them.. no joke...

Ugh... one thing about summer in the south: EVERYTHING tries to get indoors. We normally find 3-4 during the summer, and another 5-6 once it starts getting cold. As long as everything's clean you'll normally find them before they cause problems.

It does suck if you ever find one in your room. One was on my ceiling once, over the lamp on my nightstand... I had to sleep on the couch that night.

No, they can be cute.

Oh yeah, throw a collar on one and they make great pets.

Did you just come out from the mental hospital?? Roaches as pets??????

Evil Kid Weaselmush · Post by **Evil Kid Weaselmush** » 17 Jan 2009, 08:03

Well, my local pet store has big roaches for sale as pets. And I'm dead serious about that.

Completely ignoring the pictures above, what's a roach? Seriously, I've never seen one in my life...
