Because I shop at PetCo and have that stupid yellow card thing I have to carry around with me, I occasionally get coupons. The latest is a coupon for a free gift! I must choose from the following:
• LM Animal Farms Vita-Vittles Gold Small Animal Food, 2 lb. bag
• Kaytee Treat Stick for Birds
• Pet Gold Catnip, 1 oz.
• Tennis Ball
• Aquatic Gardens Deluxe Mini-Habitat (basically a little tank for a Beta fish…how it can be deluxe and mini at the same time is beyond me…)
• 25 Crickets, small or large
• Treats from Pet Bar, 1 lb.
I’m leaning towards either the tennis ball or the crickets. I don’t know what I’d do with 25 crickets…but I can be creative.

I shop at petco and I never get those coupons – much less, coupons for free stuff. I say go to the store and figure out which one is the most expensive and use the coupon to buy that item.
Or you could use it to buy a treat stick for birds and then buy a bird to eat the treat stick.
Or just eat the treat stick yourself, while standing in front of the bird cage, just to make them jealous. Pretty bird, indeed.
You know the cricket species has sunk to a new low when companies send out coupons in the mail to get 25 of them for free. In a parallel (Gary Larson-inspired) universe, a gigantic super-intelligent cricket just got a card in the mail that said, “Free! 25 humans, large or small.”
I don’t know if it matters but maybe the local pet shelter needs one of those things on the list. If your pets don’t need anything at least you could feel good about donating to a pet that does.
Don’t get the crickets and turn them loose around Henson or you’ll be pumping crickets out of his stomach…somehow, with butter on them.
Buttered crickets…now there’s another name for a band!
Ewwwww. Somehow I don’t think the Buttered Crickets band would make it too far. I have some ideas for their logo though…
Maybe we could extend your idea even further to Barfed Up Buttered Crickets. Then, when they got really popular, people would just shorten it to BUBC. Or something like that.
