Grasshoppers. I ate some when I was in Seattle a few years ago. They are the most popular snack food item for sale at Mariners baseball games. They were delicious, but I can't say I'd ever do this again. Very expensive, and you don't get much for your money (they cost 4 bucks and you only get a tiny cup of them). I am COMPLETELY happy with where I live. I love my home, and my city (Omaha, NE); I don't plan to move, ever again. House. No, in fact I've never had a pet of any kind. A bottle of Jack Daniels honey whiskey. Penguins The kind I DO own: Honda CR-V When I was a kid I used to climb the tree outside my grandparents' house. I was 5 or 6 years old at the time. Yep. I have a generator. Automatically kicks in if my power ever goes out. Runs off my house's natural gas supply. When I was in New York City a few months ago. Took New Jersey Transit from Newark airport into the city, and rode the NYC subway every day. No. Mariano Rivera. Not a full-blown cruise ship, no. But I'm very fond of river/harbor tours, I've taken some in New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto and Boston.
