c) ...get an infestation of flesh-eating bacteria. More cases than almost anywhere in the world. Scary thing is that it is as simple as getting strep bacteria in an open wound. Something special about the low humidity and altitude.

If that's all a little advanced for you, we offer stuff for beginners too. You might wish to start with a standard desert mix of rattlesnakes, tarantulas, scorpions, giant centipedes and black widows.

What does your state have to offer?


Well, In my region of Wyoming...

Antelope
Sagebrush
More Antelope
Mormons - lots cos we're close to the Utah border
Freezing cold in wintertime
Population around 500000 in the whole state
Takes hours to travel to anywhere decent to go shopping
Yellowstone 200 miles North of here
Lots of fossils including areas where you can dig to find your own
Yet more Antelope
Oh and the first JC Penney store opened in my town

So, anyone fancy moving here? :p

Not sure if its happening elsewhere, but Dollar General stores are sprouting up like mushrooms. Emtpy lot today, Dollar General tomorrow and if it's not Dollar General its a Subway.

Funny you should say that, the very last load one of my trucks took before I sold up was to take all the shopfittings for Subway from the UK to a new store opening up in Berlin Germany, right next to checkpoint Charlie, and I mean right next to it. Prime tourist real estate in Berlin.
So its not just the US

Not to mention the hidden cameras in the ladies room of his club charges or allegations in the 80's.

And let's not forget 'The Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 yr old (his cousin)
