If you were on death row and all your appeals ran out and your final meal rolled around, what would you eat? [Here](http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm) are the last meals of everyone who has been executed in Texas since 1982 if you’re looking for some good ideas. I think I’d eat a Philly Cheese Steak, some barbecue ribs, and Cajun rice dressing. ---

neutron, cool link. Some of these guys are not very creative . . . I mean whats with the three or so who had the **exact** same thing ? Weird. I suppose this is not that original but : prime rib, medium, served with a side of au jus, au grautin potatos, green beans, cheese cake with strawberry topping and a pepsi (unless I can get that with a bottle of Cuervo - which I doubt.) Still, interesting stuff, I wonder how “Gods mercy” tasted ? * * * “Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell . . .” _Pearl Jam_ ---

Thanks neutron. Uh… I just finished reading through a few of the offender information pages–sobering indeed. I recommend that any person who is fence sitting or is in the anti-DP camp take some time to read through the suffering and carnage caused by these individuals. * * * – **Kalél** [TheHungerSite.com](http://www.thehungersite.com) _“If our lives are indeed the sum-total of the choices we’ve made, then we cannot change who we are; but with every new choice we’re given, we can change who we’re going to be.”_ ---

**EnigmaOne** > [@](#): > > I recommend that any person who is fence sitting or is in the anti-DP camp take some time to read through the suffering and carnage caused by these individuals. I’m not sure where I stand myself on this issue, but I think you are missing the point. It is not about whether or not these people have done dreadful things - it’s the question of what happens next. Any decision based on a feeling of outrage is going to be an emotional decision - if it was my family who had been killed / mutilated / raped, I would be first in line to absolutely destroy the perpetrators. But that’s me, it’s not society and it might seem extreme to an outside observer. If I was the outside observer, I would probably consider it extreme. If people are sitting on the fence, the decision to choose a side should (I think) be based on something more than - “die, nasty man” Russell ---

Wow, pretty up to date site! The last person killed was only a little more than two weeks ago! 3/15/00. The guy who ordered this must’ve thought he wasn’t going to eat for a looooong time 😉 : > [@](#): > > Twenty-four soft shell tacos, six enchiladas, six tostadoes, two whole onions, five jalapenos, two cheeseburgers, one chocolate shake, one quart of milk and one package of marboro cigarettes.

I’d start out with red beans and rice along with some corn. Main course would be ginger fried beef and a porterhouse cooked medium, with a baked potato on the side. I doubt that beer is allwed, but if it were I’d take a six pack of Big Rock traditional ale. How much of a mess does a last meal make when the muscles relax? * * * Gee, I don’t think any of us expected him to say that. ---

I think I’m with Moosiegirl on this one…No appetite… And as for making a mess, I believe (could be wrong) that they put diapers on them prior to execution. I have no problem with the DP. Those who do such things are beyond the pale, and are deserving of no more mercy than they showed their victims. * * * VB Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel.
