I've not seen a Cockroach in several days. I sort of miss the little buggers. I learned yesterday that I'm not the only person in Texas with a perverse fondness for Cockroaches.There is a guy in Plano, Texas named Michael "Cockroach Dundee" Bohdan. He is a pest control specialist with a store called The Pest Shop.
In The Pest Shop Mr. Bohdan has opened the Cockroach Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame features dead Cockroaches dressed as celebrities and historical figures. There is David Letteroach, Liberoachi and something called the Combates Motel which is
somehow based on the Bates Motel in Psycho. The Combates Motel is a little roach-sized house with the Cockroach holding a little-bitty dagger.
The Liberoachi display is the most elaborate with the dead bug sitting at a little piano decorated with a little candelabra. Liberoachi is wearing a big white cape.
The bugs aren't all dead at the Cockroach Hall of Fame. There are live Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. They are about 4 inches long and an inch thick. If you pick one up it hisses at you.
There is a snack shop in the Cockroach Hall of Fame with only one item available, that being "Larvets Original Worm Snacks" in yummy BBQ, Cheddar Cheese and Taco flavors. Tasty.
The Cockroach Hall of Fame is open Monday through Friday from 12:15pm til 5pm. And on Saturday from 12pm til 3pm. The location is 2231-B West 15th Street in Plano, Texas.
