In An Earlier Post The Word Savage Was Questioned, Anyone Disagree That This Cannibal Is Also One?

I thought that we had heard the last of cannibals, when the old Tarzan films went out of date?

Hi Alba

Back in my student days we got invited to a party organised by Uni medical students, who'd purloined the arm of a woman (which had been severed in an accident, and couldn't be reattached) and cooked it. The meat was greyish in colour, lacking in much taste and a bit stringy.

When I mentioned this tale to a group of medical student I was drinking with outside a bar in Cambridge, just a couple of year's ago, the grinned and looked at each other, with one of them commenting 'Nothing ever changes, does it?"

;-)

A bit stringy, Chris? Maybe they'd left the watch strap on

[albaqwerty]

you know there are times when you wish you hadn't asked a question as you were dreading the answer?
Well, that's one of those times....

I was hoping it would have been more gentle,
'When I was a child, I used to eat the skin from the side of my thumb nails'

:-))

Sorry if I confused - Anne referred to '4th post'

A savage ?? Most definitely !

[Cloverjo]

That's what I was hoping for too, alba. Something like that or "I ate a flap of my own flesh after a vegetable chopping accident."
Ooh dear. I feel a bit ill now, and I've got to go and cook soon.

Regarding the OP, a few cannibals do still crop up from time to time.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that TTT might've been trolling you, using the word savage.

I don't know whether you've clocked, but TTT uses that word all over the place, and I think he might be taking the mickey out of your use of it, because you use it exclusively for one demographic.

TTT - I might be wrong, but I will leave you to confirm/refute.

Is there some kind of private joke going on here that I'm not getting?
Buenchico either has a sick, disgusting sense of humour or should be locked up.

Oh my aching sides. Another disgusting comment.

[Mamyalynne]

Not much Buenchico posts surprises us.

>>> Buenchico either has a sick, disgusting sense of humour or should be locked up

Not so much a sense of humour as just a sense of practicality. If there's free meat on offer, why not eat it?

[Mamyalynne]

There's no law against it in UK either - the student who purloined your dinner may have been guilty of theft I suppose though.

[Buenchico]

I doubt that it was legally 'theft', Mamya, although I have to admit that I've not studied the law on nicking limbs where the former owner is still alive.

However I do remember that some Sheffield Uni students stole a body from the morgue there and they could only be charged with stealing the shroud which covered it (because, in English law, nobody can own a dead body). Actually I'm surprised that even that charge could be laid (and I don't know if they were ever convicted of it) because it's only 'theft' if you intend to permanently deprive the owner of something (and they left the body, presumably together with the shroud, where it could easily be found).
