Dentists. I shoulda known...

[New Horizon]

"These are people who come from the middle reaches of society."

Sounds a litle more "on the fringe" to me.

[WL-law]

The story "leads us to the place where thinking ends" -- what an apt saying.

[SouthernFreebird]

....after answering an advert requesting "people for slaughter".

I just can't imagine reading that in the classified adds.

[hispanarepublicana]

We are talking about dentists, teachers, cooks, government officials and handymen,"

But notice he didn't say "clowns"--must be because they taste funny.

[woofie]

Them Germans sure do have a lot of culture

[Sarah]

Before the killing, he agreed to have his penis cut off — which both men tried to eat.

WHAT?

[Sender]

Just Damn alert!

[Salman]

He was merely guilty of "mercy killing" or "assisted suicide", he said, adding: "I accept this is taboo. But I can justify what I did to God and the world."

Well I suppose it's nice that he believes in God. < /sarcasm >

"These are people who come from the middle reaches of society."

These are the people the American press calls "centrists."

[job]

Makes you wonder if that just could not "stomach" it, or whether it was too chewey, or just didn't taste good.

Don't think I'll ever eat or look at a hot dog again.

Nope, no thank you.

[camas]

does this sound a little "queer" or what??

[Servant of the 9]

Certainly more reasonable than being a Vegan, and that is legal.

[WL-law]

Please expound?

[WL-law]

"Queer", yes. There are stories of uninfected gay men wanting/advertising to be given the AIDS virus. This just takes it another step further.

Quote

• It takes all sorts. But inviting someone to cut off my tackle as a prelude to killing and eating me and then sitting down to a last supper of my own testicles sautéed in butter is not my idea of a night out.

Even Chris Bryant’s e-mails don’t go that far. Not quite, anyway.

The German cannibal case doesn’t make comfortable breakfast-table reading.

But I can’t help wondering what they talked about over dinner.

“Ah, Armin, das is gut. I hope you are finding me tasty.” “Ja, danke, mein freund. I’m having a ball.”

Its an excellent short story by Stephen King regarding the boundary between our world and others. The name & story are similar to the line about the edge of thinking.

This is only my second post, but I've gotta tell you, you've got me laughing my head off!
