Just kind of an eerie thing to read. The list of what the executed prisoners in Texas requested for their last meal: [http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm](http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm) I’d like to have lobster, baked potato, asparagus with hollandaise, iced tea with lemon (apparently they don’t allow alcohol or tobacco). Unfortunately that may not be doable, since I hear they sometime require the meal to be cooked by the prison cafeteria. When they killed McVeigh he could orver anything under $20 from a local restaurant (He had two pints of mint chocolate chip). So what would _you_ have for your last meal? ---

Foot long cheese & chili dog with raw onions and sweet pepper relish washed down with a vanilla milk shake. No question! ---

I can’t imagine wanting to eat anything under those circumstances. ---

A big plate of Cincinnati 3-way chili with breadsticks and to drink a big cup of lemonade mixed exactly half with tropical punch kool aid. That meal right there is yummy to the second power. ---

Scary but true: when I heard about Mcveigh being executed, my first thought was “Wasn’t that supposed to be tomorrow?” My second thought was “Ooh, chocolate mint!” I can’t see being on death row, but If I had to choose a last meal, it would probably be something insanely unhealthy - I thinka tub of Ice cream is the right idea. ---

Deep dish mushroom & sausage pizza, a rare steak, grilled corn on the cob with butter and salt and a chocolate malt. ---

Well, I would be in the mood for something breakfasty. Like Sasquatch Steak grilled over Moon rocks, with Moa eggs to the side. Or maybe fried American Passenger Pigeon…don’t worry, I’ll wait while y’all find em and fix em… 😉 ---

Along Anthracite’s line: I would want a hard boiled dodo egg, breast of bald eagle over a bed of wild rice, some panda steaks, a koala burger, and a human liver with a side of fava beans. Oh, and a nice chanti.
