Texas Vacation: Day 10 – The Cockroach Hall of Fame
The Cockroach Hall of Fame isn’t much to look at it — just a little glass case crammed into a narrow Pest Control shop in a nondescript shopping center in Plano. The case contains dead roaches posed and dressed up in various configurations. There’s Liberochi, and Marilyn Monroach, and H Ross Peroach. Imelda Markoroach has little gold shoes on the ends of each of her narrow, chitinous legs. Elvis Proachley’s little white jacket is studded with shiny little rhinestones.
We’d been looking forward to this visit ever since we read about it in the Post a couple of weeks ago, so the experience was, almost inevitably, just a touch anticlimactic. Not sure what kind of climax I was looking for in a display of deceased roaches, but whatever I hoped for, it wasn’t quite there.
Still, I can now cross “See Dead Roaches in Funny Outfits” off of my 100 Things To Do Before I Die list. Next up: “Visit Richard Simmons Short Shorts Museum.”
