Eating parts of oneself, I think is it for me.

I have no probs with organ meat, but I won't eat brain, tongue or balls either. Tried 'em, don't like 'em.

I wouldn't eat an animal placenta, either, so eating human placenta is out. It doesn't look like it would taste good, aside from the ZOMG IT OOZED OUT OF MY VAG squick.

Sure, meat from a dead human.

You make that distinction. I don't think all humans do. Not Jesse, for sure. And not me. If I cut your leg off and don't kill you, is it seriously less nasty than taking it off your dead body?

And why wouldn't eating yourself be cannibalism? You're redefining the word. Eating yourself is merely self-cannibalism, a refinement.

Even with the AC blasting, housecleaning is HOT HOT GROSS today.

How about moist meat? I bet placentas are really moist.

Oooooh, you're mean.

I really don't want to have to explain to my co-workers why I'm laughing so hard. Quick, someone give me a double-rainbow video to blame this on.

To totally change the topic: has anyone else been watching "Huge"? I'm finding I like it a lot more than I expected to.

In college, all we had to do to get a friend to literally RUN from the room was whisper "MMMMmoist panties." She hated both words, so the two together made her gag like a rabbit.

SO HOW ABOUT THOSE METS, HUH?

Tom, help me out here, dude.

What with feeding and diapering and juggling helpful (or "helpful") relatives, who wants to bother tracking down a shovel and a sapling?

I think that's why SIL froze hers, to save it until she was feeling up to planting it.

OK, now earwormed with "The Teddy Bear's Picnic". I blame you lot.

Society already has relative skeeves set up for pieces of meat, and human meat? REALLY high on the skeeve meter, if you've noticed.

Oh, but long pig is soooo tasty.

Ahem, reputedly.

Is eating placenta that different from eating your appendix when it gets taken out?

I guess appendices tend to be gross and infected if they're removed though...
