Hoping to find out more details, I ran a Google search on **Sitiawan penis** (Sitiawan is the city in Malaysia where the OP-linked event occurred). The first Google result had obviously changed since the Googlebot archived it (no “penis”), so I went to the cached version.

It’s a “Men Seeking Women in Malaysia” personal ad page. Halfway down the page, the ad placed by one guy in Kuala Lumpur is titled:

> [@](#):
>
> **I have a hot and ready to serve penis**

So, it’s obviously a local culinary delicacy. 😃

(One of my favorite local restaurants is Malaysian / Singaporean / Indonesian. I’m going to be reading the menu _very_ carefully in the future, I can tell you.)

I’m more week_end_-hearted, myself.

As for the story at hand… well, yuck.

I’m with **Miller**. I can believe that someone would cut off his penis and eat it as the result of some kind of sexual fetish, like in the thread **Fisher Queen** linked to. But after having seen so many of these anti-drug cautionary tales debunked (tripping girl thought she was an orange and tried to peel herself, etc.) I have a hard time believing this story as presented.

I read somewhere that woman in Malaysia will cut off their cheatin’ husbands’ penii and send them off tied to helium balloons. At least that’s what the people on Fark say.

A good policy. I will adopt it myself.

Actually, I think it would be auto-bobbitism.

So what’d he do with his nuts? Gotta have nuts with your fried penis.

Oh this is so stupid! Back in the day, I did my share-and-then-some of hallucinogens and nobody _ever_…

**OH MY FRICKIN’ GOD!! WHERE ARE MY TITS??**

What a coincidence. After searching for ‘penis cut off’ on google, I found an article about Lorena Bobbit.

I read that she was killed in a car accident.

Some dick cut her off.

[Not exactly what I described](http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/orange.htm), but as Snopes shows, the story has been through so many permutations there really is no “authoritative version” of this particular Urban Legend.

I was ever so glad to see the [acid=window](http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/linklttr.htm) one debunked. When I was a kid and a teenagers ('70s and '80s), that was the drug propaganda equivalent of “Don’t run with a stick; you’ll put out your eye.” “Don’t drop acid; you’ll jump out a window.” No maybe, no variables, just, if you drop acid, you’ll immediately go to the window. :wally, indeed.

But, is penis white meat, dark meat, or red meat? This is what I need to know.

Did somebody say [cliched drug-horror propaganda?](http://216.232.71.251/~larry/miscpics/bushdog.jpg)

A certain person who is at this very moment sitting in the very same chair that I am took “heroic doses” of LSD every three days for almost a decade.

This person’s anecdotal evidence suggests that even mundane food preparation tasks were avoided under while the influence. Making a rue as a basis for a cream sauce, for example, while easy enough to undertake without batting an eye in the cold light of day, takes on a distinctly oogy quality when everything’s all wiggly. Sauteeing your own genitals? That’s a lot to ask. Even if you’d scheduled the menu a week in advance, once you’ve got a headful of hallucinogens you’re gonna dig around in the fridge for something ready-to-eat that has the least alarming appearance and texture possible. Never mind your friend’s offer of home-made burritos. “Are you mad?! I can’t handle _bean paste_ right now… please, get it away from my face!”
