I’d have some Starburst. Because in a weird twist of fate, I’ll bet the Starbust had something to do with why I was on death row. After dinner I’d be silently lead into the Execution Chamber. I do not think I would say anything at all until the end. They would strap me down to the table and swab my arm. And then I would scream. ---

Fuck cholesterol, fuck lactose intolerance Last meal: Two or three pimiento cheese (has to be Kroger’s brand PC) and bacon sandwiches on toasted white bread and a two-liter of ice cold Dr. Pepper. Final words: nothing. All the things that come to mind would either a)sound cliche, or b)hurt someone else’s feelings, and charmic-ly (sp?) I don’t wanna go out like that. So, for the first time in my life, I’ll shut up. ---

I think I’d have as much Popeye’s chicken as I could possibly eat (I think I’m addicted). And I’d wash it down with Pepsi. That or Mr. Pibb. I guess I could probably get both though, huh. And last words? Why bother? Nothing you could say (unless you know who’s guilty and tell the witnesses) would do any good. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by gatopescado \* > \*\*Regarding the link to the Texas last meal requests: I have seen that site before, and let me tell ya, if you don’t believe in the death penalty, you might after looking at the offender data there. The dirt nap would be the only way to keep those critters from killing other people. \*\* I was thinking the same thing. I mean, I was feeling pretty bad reading the site. Looking at all the last meals, thinking about how they would be dead in a few minutes. Then I started to look at their info, some of them were only 19 or 20 when they did the crime and in their late 30’s when they were executed. I mean, what could be so bad that they couldn’t be forgiven after 15 or 20 years? _Then_ I started looking at what they did :eek:. I just can’t imagine what could provoke these people to act the way they did and I can’t fathom them ever being able to function as socially responsible people again. All in all, I still have very mixed feelings about the death penalty. ---

Nothing you could say (unless you know who’s guilty and tell the witnesses) would do any good. \*\* I might say something that would implicate another person. Same purpose as **clayton\_e** ’s statement: mess with other people, and no consequences. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-last-meal-final-words/149885.md?page=2)
