Lived in Korea for two years, and I saw people doing this all the time -- dipping those wriggling tentacles into spicy red paste and shoving them in their mouths. No, I did not partake.
I worked a temp job once with a nice young guy who'd guarded one of these places when he was in the Air Force (and it was an active site). He said the missiles at his place were covered in magic marker graffiti written by other military guards. Nearly all of it, he said, was anti-war poetry and drawings.
As someone who's been stung by a scorpion, "adorable" isn't the word I'd use. "Interesting" maybe. If you're wondering, a scorpion bite feels a lot like a wasp sting. Just wash the area with soap and water and you'll be fine. Unless you're allergic. In that case, get yourself to the emergency room pronto.
If it weren't for credit, how many people in America would be able to afford a house by buying outright in cash? Only the very wealthy -- or those who earn far more than they need to survive.
Those who are in lower-paying jobs (took the first offer that'd get them off unemployment, rather than stay on the government teat) end up with a ratio of income to bills that keeps them in survival mode. If an emergency comes up, credit is the only way to survive.
That said, using credit can be the best way to to -- but only for emergencies.
I can honestly say the scent of baked potatoes was in anyway thrilling to me. Nor have I ever sat at a bus stop and thought, "Man, I really could go for a baked potato right now."
Ad Backlash: people will begin associating baked potatoes with the scent of hobo pee.
LOL I just finished Morrowind (a Skyrim predecessor) and yeah, if they didn't use a console cheat they did a heck of a lot of questing to pile up that many empties!
