Eeuwe! Do the ants add protein do you think? They are kinda peppery flavored although you'd think they'd wiggle.

Could you live in BI by foraging Guavas and begging for surplus fruits while sleeping at the beach in a tent and then carry a laptop to use the Internet at free Internet spots such as Starbucks and public library?

Theoretically, but that's not much of a life or a diet. Where would you recharge your laptop? Get fresh water? Go to the bathroom? We don't want your wastes on our beaches.

You could beg for fish heads at the docks, but you have cats as competition and I dare say, they look cuter than you do.

As for diet, I believe in fruitarian diet. I suppose I could recharge my laptop in Starbucks or library. For #2 when I am too far away from a building that has one, I suppose I could do it in a tent in a plastic bag and then put it in the beach water? or in the forest? (keeping the plastic bag)

Oh gee, thanks we'd love to find that next time we're swimming or hiking.

Your best bet to live here is have a job.

I like that. I been telling people to wait until the scales are falling off, but your way is better. When good and ripe is sweet and like banana-pineapple-strawberry flavor and no sharp crystals.

My recipe for how to tell if papaya is really soft and juicy and ready to eat... wait until it gets a bit rotten on the outside, like something your mother would throw away.

How long would it take to get a janitor job while surviving on free fruits?
