Cannibalism?

Well lets say your frodo and you and sam are crusin along to the cracks of doom and you dont know it but sam is starving to death and right before he dies he tells you to eat his body so the quest can be completed. do you do it?

No, but BeardofPants would. Actually, Sam wouldn't still be alive to starve to death if BeardofPants was Frodo.

No I doubt that I could eat Sam, but maybe Sam should have eaten Frodo and continued with the quest, since Frodo was weakening at a more rapid pace than his friend. Or they could have ganged up on Gollum together and eaten him, but then the Ring would never have been....*SPOILERED*

I think Menelvagor's cat ava with the winking eyes would eat Sam, given half a chance.....

I don't think that Gollum would provide very much meat.

In answer to the thread question: No. I don't think that I could bring myself to eat poor Samwise, no matter how hungry or desperate I am.

<cymbal crash>







Well seriously, I think I'd cross that bridge when I get there. It depends on how the Ring would "inspire"/corrupt me.

Hah! You think I'm that corrupted, I'd eat my favourite character? Hmpf. I think I shall have to eat YOU.

Oh, okay, you're right, I probably would. Mmmmm.... Sam flesh....

Okay, thank you. Any other cannibalism tips? Like, how do you make it as painful as possible? How do you play with them? And finally, but most importantly, what's the best way to cook 'em? I mean, you gotta bring out the moist succulent tenderness just right, or it'll get burnt to a cinder.

So that's why I had trouble deciding to eat them. You mean you have to cook 'em?

Or you could sit on them one by one and squash them into jelly.

No, I would never eat Sam.

BTW, if Tom were to eat any hobbit, human, elf, orc, it wouldn't be cannibalism, right? He's not eating any of his kind since he's one of a kind. Hmm...

What is it with you and my cat?!

I wouldn't eat Sam. Of course, if Sam really died, Frodo would probably just sit down and cry, then Blackheart would come along and it wouldn't matter anymore anyway.

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny? *ba dum chisssssh* Sorry. Bad joke, but I couldn't resist.

I would definitely eat Sam, but I would make him put hairnets on his feet first. And I wouldn't wait until he was dead. It loses all of the "gamey" flavor. And you need a blow torch if you want him cooked with him still alive. It's tricky, but it's fun. Plus he's tenderized by going up the mountain!

I couldn't eat Sam. Well, maybe I could, but I would have a hard time. Maybe.
