Last meal-DENIED!!

Me and Tuckerfan were debating lsat meals for inmates on death row. most of them (which we found about about here. ) had fast food and what not. Almost none had really grand meals.

I wanted get lobster, with a nice Filet Minon and 2 appitizers Fried Calimari, Crab cakes and Cocktail shirmp, and something else fish related. Also I’d have 2nd course maybe some snaper with a nice cream sauce and asparigus. And a bottle of a nice white wine. (What goes well with that? )

Anyway Tucker was cool with that, untill I said I wanted sea Bass and not snaper.

he goes on and on about how its endagnered and the environmentalists this, and nature that I just wanted to shank him for my damn sea bass!

He feels that I should be made to suffer, even in my last meal.

Now I ask you, if A man is going to be killed in the morning, is a bit of sea bass ALL THAT MUCH TO ASK FOR?

What say ye Dopers? and don’t forget I’m the Evil overlord with style

I doubt he’d get the sea bass… he lost his rights and such.

But I’m gonna DIE people, just A LITTLE sea bass? Not even a large filet, its the 2nd course after all.

Remember folks, it’s bad enough that we’re making the sea bass endangered because of over fishing to meet the demands of upscale diners, but MM, wants to allow condemned criminals the right to eat them as well. Considering that MM would have had to do something particularly heinous to be put on death row, why should the poor sea bass be killed just so that MM can have something interesting in his gullet, in case his body decides to puke it all up at the moment of death?

I don’t think that it’d be considered cruel and unusual punishment to deny you the sea bass by anyone’s definition, other than your own. (Of course, you could probably delay your execution a couple of hours by taking the matter to the courts, but I’m sure you’d lose in the end.)

Well looking at past precident, I’d be the FIRST person to order something that exotic. It’d only be one small fillet of sea bass. C’mon where is your Christian love. :smiley:

For my last meal, I want roasted spotted owl with a nice snail darter stuffing. I don’t think MonkeyMule is being unreasonable.

:wink:

Kind of hard for me to have it when I’m not one.

I have since found out that sea bass are **not ** endangered.

ok fine that is a pro resturaunt industry site, but it seems vaild enough

***Don’t forget the bog turtle soup appetizer… ***

Since you’re going swanky, might I suggest Chilean see bass?

More information can be found at Final meal requests

A goverment site. Texas, of course.

Inexpensive fellow, isn’t he?

Was he having a conjugal visit?

That much caffeine will kill you (sorry)

That’s one morbid site. There’s some pretty moving requests:

Danny Harris (who was eighteen when he committed his crime) requested “God’s saving grace, love, truth, peace and freedom”

Carlos Santana (convicted of killing a security guard during a robbery) requested “Justice, Temperance, with Mercy”.

I hope they both got their last wish.

I can’t help but feel that some of the moving requests were not said in all seriousness.

Poor guy, didn’t get the shrimp he wanted.

You wouldn’t get that grand meal anyway. A last meal has, in many cases, a monetary limit. I think I once heard $20. And it’s usually limited to what the prison has on hand, although someone could volunteer to fetch in some special ingredient I suppose, the system being willing. That’s why that guy got a burger instead of shrimp.

I wonder if that one request, for the Eucharist, was granted. Prisons can be strange about wine being brought in, I’ve heard of it being barred, from a cousin who worked for a period as a guard in a maximum security unit in Texas.

Baker I think that’s correct. Typically, you get to choose your last meal out of whatever the prison typically has on the menu.

I’m sure there are exceptions, like fast food or whatnot, and bear in mind I remembering from some documentary type show.

There was an article in the local paper a few days ago about last meals for condemned prisoners. In Georgia the rule is that the food and/or ingredients must be available in the prison or surrounding town. There is no monetary limit.

Give MM catfish and call it sea bass. It’s not like he’ll complain long.

MM: Hey, this isn’t sea bass!
Guard: Yes, it is.
MM: No, it isn’t!
Guard: You’ve got 30 minutes left. You gonna complain or you gonna eat?

I dunno, Doc, that’s just plain evil! :slight_smile:

I’d like a glass of water and the Electric Eel please. If you’re short on that then how about the Puffer?
