Title: The More The Merrier.
Post by: Prof. Dinglebat. Phd. on 31 May 2014, 02:18:30 AM

Came across a pic whilst surfing the net that got me thinking. (Pic1) What's not to like about a plague of insects when it comes to pulp? So with a little digging I came up with the next thing I'm scoping on my 'To get list'. And the bonus is there's so many in a pack. (144).

Listed on Oz EBay as 144 pack FAKE COCKROACH Practical JOKE plastic prank Gag Comedy Insect Bug scare.

I'd put them all on a burst template with a hole in the center that can be placed over a mini.  Then aim all the nasties to the center!  That would look awesome!

I used to live in Hong Kong as a kid and we got lots of cockroaches there. My brothers and I would tape my Playmobil wheelchairs to them and have chariot races. Then the cat would eat them (the roaches, not the wheelchairs ... or my brothers).

Not a bad idea at all old chap. I may just do that as well as have some on bases aligned in a direction of chase. That way if a mini can't out run\climb them, then the burst template is placed as you brilliantly presented.  ;)

Splendid idea!! The base configurations as well!!

Tis well known there are NONE of these creatures in Charleston, South Carolina.

As befitting a "Higher Order of Chivalry", quite distinct from the rest of us, backwoods upstart rabble that we are,
no mere cockroach would even DARE cross a Charlestonian's threshold.

They do have an infestation of "palmetto bugs", a separate species unknown elsewhere.
Such a shame the servants seem powerless to contain their outbreaks.
