Cannibalism - pro or anti?

[Rain Man]

I'm working late tonight, so I thought I'd reprise my only post that was ever banned back on the old KC Star BB. It was deleted before I could get a proper vote.


Here's the scenario: You're trapped in a wagon train/plane crash/Milwaukee apartment with no sources of food whatsoever. However, a few dead fellow pioneers/soccer players/bar patrons are lying about, with expiration dates that are still good.

Assume that you have a 33 percent chance of surviving until the St. Bernards arrive if you DON'T barbecue the ol' gang, and a 66 percent of surviving if you partake of Sapiens stew.

What's your choice?

Seven days, and they killed and ate somebody? I'd hate to be in front of them in a long line at Disneyland.

6: How we feeling, Captain?
C: Not too good. I...I feel so weak.
2: We can't hold out much longer.
C: Listen...chaps...there's still a chance. I'm...done for, I've...got a gammy leg and I'm going fast; I'll never get through. But...some of you might. So...you'd better eat me.
?: Eat you, sir?
C: Yes. Eat me.
?: Iiuuhh! With a gammy leg?
C: You didn't eat the leg, Thompson. There's still plenty of good meat. Look at that arm.
5: It's not just the leg, sir.
C: What do you mean?
5: Well, sir...it's just that -
C: Why don't you want to eat me?
5: I'd rather eat Johnson, sir!
?: So would I, sir.
C: I see.
?: Then that's decided...everyone's gonna eat me!
?: Uh, well.
5: What, sir?
?: Go ahead, please, but I won't -
?: Oh nonsense, sir, you're starving; tuck in!
1: No, no, it's not that.
?: What's the matter with Johnson, sir?
1: Well, he's not kosher.
5: That depends how we kill him, sir.
1: Yes, that's true. But to be perfectly frank I...I like my meat a little more lean. I'd rather eat Hodges.
?: Oh well, all right.
5: I still prefer Johnson.
C: I wish you'd all stop bickering and eat me.
1: Look. I tell you what. Those who want to can eat Johnson. And you, sir, can have my leg. And we make some stock from the Captain, and then we'll have Johnson cold for supper.

one observation...

for a group that professes to despise lawyers, "isn't it strange" (mocking a recent thread) that such a high percentage vote based on the "advice" of their lawyer?

Supposedly we taste “sweet” and our meat is stringy. Enough cayenne and no one will know the difference anyway.

Reminds me of that movie “Alive” where that dude is gnawing on fingers. Which could be served as appetizers, much like hot wings.

Just think about how much meat is on the human body. Quarter up a medium size person and you have enough grub for awhile.

I bet Emeril could do some crazy shit with some calf muscles and a few biceps.

I find it hilarious that the dining hall at the University of Colorado is named Alfred Packer Cafeteria.

Whoa. Blast from the past. It still makes me chuckle to think about the Star BB removing it.

The gang is debating the Brady Bunch stranded on a deserted island. Who would they eat first? Woody: "Alice, cause she ain't kin."
