Man dies after winning live roach-eating contest in Florida

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. -- Authorities say the winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms. The grand prize in Friday night's contest was a live python.

The Broward County sheriff's office says in a news release that it is waiting for an autopsy to give the official cause of death.

However, the news release Monday says 32-year-old Edward Archbold became ill soon after winning and collapsed in front of the Ben Siegel Reptile Store where the contest was held. The store is in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. Archbold was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say several contestants ate insects but no one else became ill.

Any insect eater will tell you not to eat roaches and worms at the same time. They hate each other !

You're supposed to smoke the roaches not eat them.

Fer da Dog-haus,

Puppy Wagon today in the Park.

Hey guys. Long time no see.

Aubie!

Sorry I missed your impromptu WU reunion on Sunday! Lately, I've been so busy with chores, appointments and sudden chauffering duties for my hubby and 91 yr old F-I-L that I haven't had the time to sit down or get online.

Nevertheless, don't give up on us remaining Wubers just yet, as time and circumstances are bound to open up and connect us together again sometime in the very near future .... hopefully, before and/or during Halloween! In the meantime, keep the reunion blogsite open, in the weeks ahead, for those current WU laggards like me!

Good evening!

I could have sworn I did post here. Guess I missed the send button!

I will stop in

see ya there...

You betcha sweetie, I will be dropping by, maybe play a few tunes for ya and rachetjaw with a few of ya old friends.....

I would love to come but I am attending another blog that weekend.....

Just a friendly bump to keep your party on people's minds.

Hey Aubie, I'm moving to north Georgia tomorrow. Just checking in...

Hi {{Aubie}}!!
Will be busy this weekend, but will try to stop by.

Hey, Aub. I'm in. :)

Hi Auburn and the gang,
Traveling this weekend so can't check in then. Hope all are well.

howdy howdy aub

Im ready

Ok when is the party...looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Quoting auburn:
The reunion blog is set for The weekend before Halloween(26-28th)so its still on if anyone wants to post.

Did my namesake put a damper on the party spirit?

Perhaps another weekend might be a better idea!

Hi :)

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Digging out from 7 inches of snow yesterday. My girls and I built an igloo and snowfort.

Hi there all you good looking folks. Waiting on all hell to break loose when Sandy pays a visit to NYC. We are in the Orange zone here so we will only see rain but those in the higher ranges will more than likely get some snow. Don't wish that on anyone this time, its too darn early...

How are ya doing Aubie? Hope all is going well for you and the family....whooooo hoooooo!!!

for SouthernLady...where ever she be at.....

Will drop by later to see if anyone is around.

Still no one Aubie? Well I am going to go and watch some TV before bedtime. You tried and thank you for offering to have this. I guess its just not a night for doing this type of get together. BIG HUGS

Hey Auburn & friends.

I think Sandy kinda stole the show this weekend.
I know I didn't remember until I noticed your blog pop up on the list.

Hope you are all doing well and stay safe.

Reschedule and do it again sometime.
It's a good idea!

Hello is there anyone in here? Am I too late?

Ok, I understand - I have a kid up at VT and she right ow s on a plane heading back from Mississippi to school for tomorrow.

The blogs are acting up a bit tonight anyway

Hey Aubie!!!

To be honest, I thought this blog was a throw back to the other one you did a long time ago!! You should have named it pre-Halloween party blog or something so people know its new.

Sandy isn't affecting us at all, of course, we're on the tail end of another heat wave. Hope to see some 70 degrees this week! Hope everyone is well.

WUnderground will always be home!!!

Of course as always happens to me, is that the time I get on, everyone else is signing off.....getting too late!!!

It's never too late! :)

Ahhhh Ylee, I head for bed at 9pm. If I were an east coaster, I'd be sawing zzzzzzs by now!

Hi aubie, and everyone.
Anyone dressing up for Halloween?

BF - I'm dressing up at work. It's the first time in quite some time that Halloween has fallen on a work day for me. We have a Halloween parade first thing in the morning and the kids have to change after, but the teachers get to stay dressed all day. I'm off at 11:30 and plan to go swimming after, so I'm going to have to wash my make up off. I'm going as a witch, but I put green makeup on my face, and for some reason, the green make up really fools the kids, and scares the young ones!

Hi Aubie!

Guess I'm late for the festivities again. Unfortunately, parts of Hurricane Sandy got in the way, but thankfully we made out A-Okay with only a 9 hr power outage, plenty of emergency supplies and outside temps warm enough to keep the interior of home a pleasant 70F without a generator. Wish these back to back pre-Halloween catastrophies (2 yrs in a row) would subside around here, so we could go back to enjoying some of our old fashioned traditions, but the times and climate are a-changin'. Nevertheless, hope you and yours have enjoyed a safe and pleasant Halloween evening at your home! Let's hope the coming months and holidays will be better and more hopeful!

Thought I'd bring back the Halloween Doghouse of yesteryear. ENJOY!
