Cannibalism: Yea or Nay?

“Didn't that L.L.Bean parody have a portable nuclear power plant for your campsite... ?

Now DAT's a weighty item!

Gotta be!”

“It's the heavy water that'll get ya everytime.”

“<GROAN>”

“Is that a regular crematorium, or a special one made just for backpacking?”

“Does it cook and dehydrate at the same time? Maybe you could do that part at home and then just re-hydrate them on the trail.”

“Pro -- All the nutrients the human body needs.

Con -- Once opened, the food source becomes less than ultralight by losing its self-transporting ability.”

“Well, and it becomes rather scarce when people start to notice that your hiking partners fail to return...”

“Hike with the homeless. No one misses em.”

“Oh yeah! And you look like such a charitable, generous person!”

“Yeah! And suddenly, everyone likes you and you're getting FAT on the trail...


MMMMMMmeat.”

“I've always said that backpackers are like "The High-end Homeless"...


Here... have another squirt of margarine!”

“Good points Fade and Skully. Thanks also for helping me fight thread deterioration.”

“Thread deterioration?

This place is like a hungry sewing machine, as far as that goes.”

“chips76,
"It's a free country, but all your posts here at this site are a bunch of cannibalistic nonsense that only you appear to agree with. Why not post your comments on a more cannibal-minded board?

Nobody likes you and your mama is ugly."
Artex”

“How do you come up with these things?”

“Geez, Violin, nasty stuff. I'm with Stump, where do you find this at?”

“Yikes!”

“I think he mis-interpreted, "eat a woman and pound your yam."”

“My question is, why is an erection driving in the first place?”

“LMAO, and LMAO!!!”

“Too funny!!”

“Wow! Some people consider that a malady?!? I know some guys who would probably kill to HAVE that condition. ;)”

“"Projecting" are we?”

“Reminds me of an old joke.

A guy with a priapism goes to see a urologist. It turns out the urologist is a woman. He's a little embarrassed, but he explains his problem to the doctor, and lets her examine him. She says it's a very interesting case, and she needs to get her partner to take a look at is as well. So she goes and gets her partner, and the poor guy is subjected to more embarrassment as they both examine thoroughly. Finally, the guy gets fed up with it and says, "Doc! What can you give me for this?"

The two doctors confer for a minute, then come back to him and say, "$10,000 now, and half the practice next year."”

“"Priapism" is the medical term for an erection that won't go away.

BTW, this is an old Buddy Hackett joke. Yes, the guy who played the mechanic in all the "Herbie and the Love Bug" movies.”

“haha stump...you see right through me...hehe”

“Imagine my surpise in seeing this threat revived. I've since disavowed by cannibalistic ways. Now I only eat beef and dog meat.”

“(CBS/AP) A German computer expert - charged with killing, dismembering and eating the flesh of an Internet acquaintance - made a detailed confession at the opening of his murder trial - but said he was only doing what the victim wanted.

Armin Meiwes, 42, who lived in an ancient former manor house in Rotenburg, gave chilling testimony Wednesday about how his fantasy of finding someone to become "a part of me" turned real. Rotenburg is a central German town about 20 miles southeast of Kassel.

Meiwes - a poised, slender man wearing a dark suit and tie - described matter-of-factly how Bernd Juergen Brandes, 43, traveled from Berlin to visit him in March 2001 in reply to an Internet advertisement seeking a young man for "slaughter and consumption."

Meiwes said his fantasies began as a child, when he felt lonely and imagined killing and eating a "younger brother." He said he got more than 400 responses to his Internet solicitation from people who wanted to join him in acting out the fantasy.

Meiwes told the state court that he and his victim chatted for several weeks on the Internet. When they met, he said, Brandes undressed.

"Now you can see my body. I hope you'll find me tasty," Meiwes quoted his visitor as saying. Brandes later said he wanted to be stabbed to death after drinking a bottle of cold medicine to lose consciousness, Meiwes testified.

Meiwes said he stabbed his victim the next morning, believing he was already dead, and recorded his act on a videotape that is being used as evidence.

"I kissed him once more, prayed and pleaded for forgiveness," Meiwes told the court.

He said he froze some of the dismembered body parts, eating the flesh over the following months, and buried others in the garden. Police who searched Meiwes' home found human flesh and bones.

Court-appointed psychiatrists found Meiwes fit to stand trial. Prosecutors say the killing was sexually motivated and filed murder charges, despite concluding that the killing had the victim's consent.

Meiwes' attorney argued against murder charges, saying the slaying was a form of mercy killing. Meiwes faces life in prison if convicted of murder.

"My friend enjoyed the dying, his death," Meiwes was quoted recently by a local newspaper.

Seeking to bolster his claim that he acted according to the wishes of others, Meiwes testified that he had at least five other respondents to his Internet ads at his home but let them go - including a teacher who offered himself as a "devoted pig for slaughter."

Another man wanted to act out his fantasy of slaughtering co-workers. When Meiwes suspended him from a pulley-and-rope device set up in his home as part of the role playing, the man got sick and left after being freed, Meiwes said.

A man who said he wanted to be beheaded also showed up, but Meiwes said he sent him away because he was too fat and not talkative enough.

Police tracked down and arrested Meiwes last December after a student in Austria alerted them to an advertisement Meiwes placed on the Internet seeking a man willing to be killed and eaten.”

“Let them eat humans!



..or somthing like that...”

“Thanks to you, Politenessman, all of these people died in an atmosphere of good breeding.”

“wonder if certain love making activities would be considered cannibalism?”

“if your female...lets find out? If your not...I'm gonna kick your @ss. hahaha”

“The reply was "Bite Me"”

“WICHITA, Kansas (AP) -- Young lovers can sometimes lose their heads, but a young man in Wichita lost part of his tongue, police said.

Police were called to a loud fight about 9 p.m. Monday, at a home on the east side of the state's largest city.

Officers gave this report: After the argument, the boyfriend tried to give the girlfriend a makeup kiss. Instead, she bit off a large part of his tongue. Police recovered the piece, and it was re-attached at a Wichita hospital.

The young woman faces charges of aggravated battery. Police said the boyfriend faces simple battery charges.”

“RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin sparked uproar yesterday by saying Africans had a history of CANNIBALISM.

He lashed out at the continent’s past after being challenged about his human rights’ record.

In an astonishing outburst, Mr Putin said: “We all know that African countries used to have a tradition of eating their own adversaries.

“We don’t have such a tradition or process or culture and I believe the comparison between Africa and Russia is not quite just.”

Tony Blair, who had just finished talks with Mr Putin, was left squirming with embarrassment as the former KGB boss let rip.

continued...”

“I think we should DEMAND an apology!!!
CANNIBALs are people too!
LOL”

“Yeah. Cannibals eat people too.”

“If you get the water for your coffee at the sink next door to my office chances are you are a canible :) It's where the surgery stuff is washed....scary...but some people DO get thier coffee water there....

.....


i'm glad I have my own coffee pot...”

“Spirit are you saying they reroute the water that was used to wash surgical equipment in that sink back into the water supply which comes back out in that one particular sink??”

“Remind me not to have surgery done at the hospital SC works at.”

“All of us are products of cannibalism somewhere down the line. Mr. Putin, meet the kettle... you're both black.”

“I like mine with fava beans and a nice chianti!”

“Putin doesn't pull his punches, that's for sure.”

“The Scotts had some notorious cannibals. I used to have some pals in southern Georgia whose ancestors were really mean highwaymen from the MacGregor clan and who routinely killed and ate the people they robbed. My pals, also MacGregors, thought that this was just too, too cool!”

“its not rerouted...but you know...splashing water and all...some could end up on the faucet...and back into your water pot LOL”

“bob...what a coincidence..i have roots in that clan too :)”

“MacGregor and McGregor. One of the biggest clans.

For myself, we were in the Smith clan. Scottish, yes.”

“I think I could go at least a week without food, before I see my fellow Trail Talkers as table fare.”
