When we were kids, cousin Ben and I used to play roofball and dominoes. Now he eats scorpions.
We Nelson's don't just write the headlines. We make them, too.

My cousin Ben, who is my age, recently ate a scorpion and drank cobra's blood as part of a Marine jungle survival training session.

MAJOR BADASS POINTS.

He was also photographed, and is currently featured on CNN.com.

DOUBLE MAJOR BADASS POINTS

He's also serving his country by being a Marine.

BADASS POINTS OFF THE CHARTS!

I can't even begin to describe how proud of him I am. I'm honored to be part of this family. Those who know me know I feel very strongly about members of the armed forces. For crying out loud, is it so hard to shake a veteran's hand when you see them in uniform and thank them? They've made a huge sacrifice, and I think verbal thanks is the very least a person can do.

I HATE scorpions. HATE THEM. I would never post a picture of one on my blog unless a family member was eating it.

Way to go, Ben.
