Hungry in the Hamptons: Digging for grubs among the elite


the hamptonsAnthony, AKA the Hungry Barbarian, has come up with a wager. He must survive outside for a week on nothing but what he can catch and kill - fish, crab, squirrel, earthworms - or snag from nearby farms (presumably without the farmer's knowledge). He will have water, matches, a tent, a hose and a fishing pole. If he can do it, he'll win the money from the betting pool his friends have started.

The big gimmick is this: these survivalist shenanigans will go down not in some remote national park, but in the Hamptons, the Long Island bastion of NYC elites. His neighbors will be sipping champagne on the lawn as the Hungry Barbarian forages for edible berries in their well-landscaped bushes.

Seven days without food is easily survivable (so long as one has water), but the idea of eating earthworms and skinning squirrels is pretty funny. I'm sure hijinks will ensue.

Tip of the Day

Even though the crust of your pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving turned out flaky and buttery, consider everyone "pie"-ed out. Try these non-pie ways to use up leftover disk of dough.
