Want $2K Quick?

Sometimes you just need a couple grand to put you over the top, and you might be willing to stretch what you'd do to get it. If that's you, Gheorghe: The Blog has a hot tip.

Don't mind a few insects creeping around?
Don't have a house worthy of remaining bug-free?
Don't you just miss this guy?


Apparently The Pest Informer, a Raleigh-based extermination information company, is willing to pay you $2,000 if you'll agree to let them "release ~100 American cockroaches into your home, and give [them] permission to film, and test out a specific cockroach treatment."

What could go wrong?

Here are the rules:
  • You must own the home or have written approval from the homeowner.
  • You must be 21 years or older to qualify.
  • You must be located in the Continental United States.
  • All tested cockroach treatments will be family- and pet-safe.
  • You must not try any additional cockroach treatments during the duration of the study.
  • At the end of the study, if the cockroach infestation hasn’t been eliminated, we will use traditional cockroach treatment options at no cost to you.
  • The duration of this study will be approximately 30 days.
Here's my question . . . if "traditional cockroach treatment options" actually work well, why would The Pest Informer need to be investing thousands of dollars into a study for new technological advances?

Oh, and here's a trailer for what the after-picture looks like. No big deal, apparently. Grab the $2K and run!

just wanted to pass on this nicks related comment zman left on sentence of dave, for the good of the cause . . .

"Nick and I used to belong to the same swim club, and one night when we were over-served his middle kid (who was about 11 at the time) came over with one of his friends who looked like Chunk from Goonies. I was telling Nick something like "when I played for the Nicks" and Chunk interrupted to opine "You never played for the Knicks!" and I replied "No, not the Knicks with a K, the Nicks, they're a basketball team named after Mr. Huth!" And Nick's kid turned to Chunk and said "See, I told you there was a basketball team named after my dad!" and Chunk scrunched up and said "This is all bullshit" and waddled off."

Andrew Wiggins dominating a Finals game is not something I had on my bingo card. Fucking impressive. Credit due to both him and the Warriors franchise.
