You Guys Remember "Alive"? or Could You Eat Human FLesh?

[Doc Tinker]

I watched a refresher episode of the story about a plane that crashed in the Andes Mts. The accident and it's susquent story was told in a book and movie called "Alive".



Many of you are too young to remember the news stories, when it happened, but the survivors of the crash ate some of their comrades who didn't survive, in order to stay alive for 70 days.



The question is: Could you eat your buddy if you were caught in a similar situation?

I don't know about my "buddy" but somebody else I could choke down, or one of the guys I did not like too much. Man what a morbid thing to do, but I would want to live... ...

 

[Power Wagon]

Doc, you have WAYYYYYYY too much time on your hands.

 

[Briar Hopper]

read the book, years ago

Didn't see the movie, though... geez, Doc, I hope you get a job or a lucrative hobby soon ! One of these days you're gonna have a bunch of TDR members looking for you at diesel rallies, and seeking monetary compensation for ruined keyboards that were upchucked on !

LOL DOC! If my buddy died and he was the last person to eat, consider him dinner. Im sure "he would take one for the team"

 

[swamp rat]

Not meaning to criticize, but Gee Doc you have coe up with some OFF THEE WALL stuff lately.



And to answer your question, Absolutely YES! Most folks would be surprised if not shocked and stunned to know what they can make themselves eat when the belly growls long enough.



The question you should have asked was cooked how? BBQ'ed, smoked, boiled, deep fried or fricaseed!. I hear diesel is good for fried chicken, at least thats what the sign on the side of a truckstop in Van Horn, TX at the intersection US Hwy 90 and I-20.



"Diesel Fried Chicken" is how it reads.

The automotove industry must be contaminating the ground water again. Doc- Lay off the whiskey for a week and for gods sake- drink bottled water!!



Oh and BTW- do we get our choice of condiments??

real fatty and taste like PIG... . called long pig



Your animal instints of SURVIAL kicks in and you do what ever it takes to stay alive. No something you want to think about after wards... like what wine goes best with ala long pig! Although cooking some SOB's sounds like a great Idea but being a picky eater if I overcooked em I'd have to through them out.

 

[EMDDIESEL]

If its life or death, sure, why not.

 

[Harley152]

I hear it tastes like chicken!!!

I saw some at the store today that I could have nibbled on! But seriously, If it came down to survival, I think I could. Then I'd deal with the nightmares. The only critter I couldn't force myself to eat is a palmetto bug. AKA cockroach.

Doc, if you haven't seen the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes", you should. Not only is it a good movie, it shows how to rid of the evidence and be hospitable to the neighboring sherrif at the same time.

 

[Doc Tinker]

Heck, I completely forgot about "Fried Green Tomatoes" I watched that one twice. Great movie



There's a couple of differences between that movie and "Alive". The sherrif didn't know what (or who) he was eating and it wasn't real (or was it - hehehe) LOL

I just remembered a good B Movie with Rory Calhoun. Ever seen Motel Hell? Rory plays an old farmer who makes and sells his own sausage which he grows in his backyard! I won't disclose the remainder of the storyline for those who haven't seen it yet.

You think Jeffry Domer is reading this?



Doc

 

[HEMI®Dart]

J. Domer got killed while in prison a few years ago, Doc.

 

[Doc Tinker]

That's what they've been telling us, Hemi, but I think he escaped and the government is covering it up. People still disappear don't they?



Doc

 

[HEMI®Dart]

I never thought of that. It's Possible.

Doc, Is this your way of inviting us all over for BBQ.
