Potty humor …
No, I probably shouldn’t.
Then again, maybe I should.
Dare I wallow in witticisms about … the loo?
Oh, darling, you know I do!
I promise, this might even be good for you.
(You know I care, and so I dare.)
But, don’t worry—this snippet of silliness isn’t off-color.
It is, in fact, rainbow colored.
So, yes, I’ll go THERE. To the Squatty Potty.
Do you dare?

Especially if they’re attending the University of Connecticut, where one innovative purple food truck is serving up everything from Asian tacos to …
crickets!

The aptly named “Food for Thought” truck is serving “organic, GMO free, and earth-friendly” roasted crickets as a topping for their popular Asian Tacos—or for an adventurous few, as a crunchy snack. After a week of offering free samples to anyone willing to try them, UConn’s Dining Services reports that they’re selling two to three containers of the crispy critters a day.
The crickets are sourced from Next Millennium Farms, who strive to lead a new “protein revolution” and “raise” an estimated 30 million crickets at any given time. Now that’s a lot of chirping!
