Jiminy Cricket!

My Alma Mater has now made the big time by joining in on that time-honored tradition: Cricket Spitting Contests. The rules are simple: Competitors stand in a red circle, place thawed crickets inside their mouths and, within 20 seconds, spit them as far as possible without stepping outside the circle. The official Guinness world record is 30 feet, 1.2 inches.
