three celebrities…you are the last survivor…and in order to continue on, you have to resort to cannibalism…Ponder this: 1. What three celebraties would you choose? 2. Who would you eat first, second, and last. ---

'nilla is sharp 🙂 So basically 'nilla, you rather die than switch to “the way of the meat?” ---

No, I’d rather not die, but who would _want_ to eat a human being? Yuck. Which parts are the “good” parts? I’d much rather eat a pig if given the choice. ---

There is no choice. If you do not get the protein (and 8 essential vitamins and minerals) from the human meat, you will die. So…given this scenario, who would it be? and in what order? As far as the parts that are most nutritious…I believe I saw Dr. Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter’s new cookbook out on [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com)…“Serving Humans” ---

If I understand the OP, you’re really asking two questions: –What three celebrities would provide the most nutrition for the longest time? –What three celebrities have the unloveliest souls, such that few would care if they were eaten? Okay, I’ve got it: 1. Anna Nicole Smith 2. OJ Simpson 3. Steven Seagal Notes: Smith is a satisfying answer to both questions. Simpson is an athlete, so would probably provide lots of high-energy, lean meat. Seagal edged out Pauly Shore, mainly because Seagal’s also an athlete, and is physically larger. Sorry, Weasel. ---

Five, I believe the fattier the meat, the better to survive on. So, forget Calista. 3 repulsive fat famous people. Can’t think of any…😉 1.Louie Anderson 2.Ted Nugent (to do the shooting and skinning of Louie.) 3. Ralph Nader (after my large meal of Louie, I could thene at Ralph, but oooohh, you mean eat “that way” hee hee. ---

Vanilla…while very strategic, these celebs are DEAD…and you are alone to chow down on the feast of flesh…I wouldn’t discount Calista completely…she would make an excellent after-dinner tooth pick…And I wouldnt go for the fatties here either…Five was going down the right path – both celebs that you hate, but would make a swell stew…Anna Nicole Smith i would save for last – for reasons Im not going into in this forum LOL ---

First: Kate Hudson. She’s not a BIG meal but she just looks so damned sweet. Second: William Shatner. I like ham. And last: Dick Clark. Might be tough and stringy, but he keeps _amazingly_ well. Very few deserted islands have fridges. Hannibal Tip #34: Anna Nicole Smith? No opportunity for headcheese. It’s pure vacuum there between the ears.
