Anyone remember Soylent Green?:eek:
Would your post be in response to this column?
Cannabalism is perfectly acceptable.
Why don’t cannibals eat clowns?
I think this belongs in Cafe Society.
Anyone remember the Donner Party?
I do, especially whenever I stop off at a donner kebab place for lunch or dinner…
Yeah, I was on a mailing list some years back that had a lot of Brits on it. They were unfamiliar with the story and thought “Donner Party” was a typo. That was kind of ironic.
Not mentioned is indirect eating of the corpus delicti. You could feed the body to animals and eat the animals. Pigs are obvious. But they have used animal protein in herbivore feed. This lead, of course, to the some mad cow outbreaks.
But the modest amount of usable feed in person, the effort required to “solemnly” extract it, the 10-1 typical ratio of protein in to protein out makes this impractical outside of an industrial scale. Bring in the scoops!
Googling shows that about 18k cows are slaughtered each day in the US. Almost 3 times that number of pigs. But only about 6.5k people. Pounds of meat-wise, that’s not going to change much.
Wow. Nobody named Donner could can ever open a restaurant in the US. Never thought about that before.
There are still people around who were on the rugby (or whatever sport it was) team that crashed in the Andes. They’re probably the most famous living cannibals.
I have often wondered what would happen if I go to a busy sit-down restaurant with a wait for a table and gave them “Donner” when they asked for my name.
“Donner party of 8, your table is ready.”
Bonus points if the restaurant in question is a big red-meat kind of place, like a steakhouse.
“Donner? Party of 8.”
“Donner? Party of 7.”
“Donner? Party of…”
Robin Williams beat you to it:
Let’s eat, Granny.
Let’s eat Granny.
Punctuation saves lives.
I don’t know…
Could it be because they taste “funny”?
No, the greasepaint just tastes nasty.
Patrick Breen and family from the Donner Party set up a bed and breakfast near Monterey afterward … “a little paprika with your stew, sir?”
From Cheers:
If the Brady Bunch crashed in the Andes who would they eat first?
The maid. Because she ain’t kin.
If vegetarians eat only vegetables, then what do humanitarians eat?
Eating is cruelty and represents the inequality between first world and third world countries.
