Party

[tinhuvielartanis]

We're watching a show on the Donner Party. Those people knew how to paaaahhhh-taaaay! I wouldn't mind having a great big Donner Party and inviting certain individuals.

Seriously....
The Donner Party is proof positive that humans aren't so far beyond our innate bestial nature. It wouldn't take very much or very long for all of us to supposedly revert and become the savages that dwell just underneath the skin, chomping at the bit to reveal themselves and take over our thin morals and civility. We've convinced ourselves that we'd never do something like what the Donner Party did. Au contraire! Our society needs to be knocked down a few notches or so. We need to be reduced to cannibalism and savagery in order to fully appreciate what it means to be human. We are all pretend humans with our anti-bacterial soaps, indoor plumbing, and microwave ovens.

So, I say bring it on! But I always say that don't I? Words cannot express how much I want to see our civilisation collapse, to see all these germ-free kids grubbing in the filth for a little shred of food, to see the 'highest class' person be stoned to death by the 'rabble' and devoured in a stone soup, to see logical individuals huddled around fires at night genuinely afraid of the dark. The Donner Party will seem wise then. They'll seem to be the most ingenious of survivors. People will follow in their footsteps. Yeah.

And that includes me, if I even survive, which I probably wouldn't 'cos I'm Queen Ninny. I've always said "god help whomever is with me, 'cos they're gonna end up being travelling partner tartar if we ever hit a snag where survival becomes an issue." Yeah, I know all about my inner savage. You'll be lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack if you're travelling with me.

Well, I'd taste bad 'cause I eat a lot of meat. (Yeah, bad me.) Anyway, we know all about the flesh of carnivores - none too tasty! That's why they ranch cattle and not coyotes.

Avoid me! I'll give you a bellyache! ;)

But I could help you hunt...

I'll bring some black pepper and an axe.

Try making reservations and giving the last name Donner. I crack up every time I hear the hostess call out, 'Donner, Party of Four.'

Maybe I just have a sick sense of humor... ;-)

Oh, that's priceless! I'd laugh a lung out if I ever heard that.

I would love to eat you. Oh, wait. That's not what you mean...

On a serious note, the wife of a longtime friend is notorious for being late. K, as I'll call her, is allegedly descended from people who are genetically incapable of being on time, which saved at least one branch of the family who was supposed to accompany the Donners...

Friday as I was leaving work, I freaked out one of my new officemates who wished me well in the snow this weekend. I said "If I run out of food, I have slow neighbors."

Mph. Note to self: Not everyone is either prepared for the Apocalypse or has my dark sense of humor.

Most people live in an antiseptic fantasy world. That's why they can't laugh. Me? I chuckled like an idiot!

As for eating, I'm the one who does the noshing. Remember it. :)

Having grown up in Houston, the first flake of snow I see sends me immediately into my apocolyptic blizzard preparations. First, always, is determining which people around me will be the first to become prey when the food runs out. Typically, the plan is to start with the skinniest person; need to get the meat while it's there and they won't last long in snow-trapped starvation.

People think I overreact.

I'm coming to stay with you.

[corwinok.livejournal.com]

WooHOO!

As always, you're candor is appreciated

Soooo, you're saying that you want to EAT your friends?

As I'm hypoglycemic, I'll be one of the first to croak...just make sure you start to chow down before adipocere sets in. ;D

"You'll be lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack if you're travelling with me."

Didn't I cover this? I don't need an apocalypse. The only thing keeping me from gnoshing on the abundant primate population is fear of organized retribution, as institutionalized by the legal system.

Heck, it's even illegal to cook long pork if you didn't kill it and bein' et was it's dying wish! That's just wrong.

I'm one to back a proposal on passing out licenses for 'tourist season'. 'Course, I'm also one to back proper training and arming of the tourists, so...

Chances are that I'd go into protein frenzy and either eat you or bring back a fresh kill a good bit before hunger pushed you to the point of thinking I'd make a decent meal. (I also have it on excellent authority that my blood is somehow toxic, so if it comes to that, make sure you prep me kosher, K?)

Given my partially Jewish upbringing, I have no choice but to prep you kosher, so no worries there.
