SQinfoNUTS, He was the sergeant receiving and sorting incoming messages of the odd occurrences that might indicate the discovery of the giant ants. Pre-Gunsmoke James Arness and pre-Davy Crockett Fess Parker as well as the pre-Star Trek Nimoy.

Grillchees, no, but my goofy kids did. They liked the sour taste.

I was lucky enough to eat a fire ant from the Brazilian rainforest and it tasted like spicy herbaceous citrus. Definitely one of the weirdest things I’ve eaten. Have you eaten an ant?

SQinfoNUTS, I remember the weird noise the giant ants made, but nope, don't remember seeing Leonard Nikou in it. Can't wait to watch it again and look for him.
