Seems pretty obvious the guide did it, why bring “South Sea Island Cannibals” into it, geesh! I don’t even think there are any cannibals of the south seas. The cannibals were in New Guinea, not Nuku Hiva. Next thing they’re going to be saying Hawaiians live in grass shacks and eat people too. Maybe way back when somewhere in the “South Seas” but not now. Sounds like a bad Bob Hope and Bing Crosby movie.

Long pig roast!

A second-rate sailor, but a first-rate second course.

"Next thing they’re going to be saying Hawaiians live in grass shacks and eat people too"

Yeah, Hawaiian locals are much more sophisticated. They don't eat the haoles they find on hikes, they just kill them. And no shacks.. just bumper stickers with sacred writings such as "Die Developers, Die!"

Well, that’s new.

Particularly nice weather we’ve been having in Northern Michigan, lately.
Seriously, I don’t understand people who think cruising off the coast of Somalia, or Borneo, is going to be some romantic holiday, full of carefree, no-risk, get-away from the real world.
Unfortunately for them, this is the real world.

Well that's a headline you don't see everyday.

Well, we do have bumper stickers and tee shirts that say "Haole, the other White Meat", showing some haole suspeded from a pole over the fire. I gather it gives some tourists pause.......I have to laugh........

Oh, but "cannibal" is such a horrid, politically-incorrect, pejorative word. /s

How about "homophagist"?

That's it. Please do not judge those who practice "homophagia".

“How about “homophagist”?”

I’ve heard the term “anthropophagi” used, but never in polite society.

All cultures are equal including cannibalism.

We should immediately allow many of these cannibals to immigrate to the U.S. to improve our diversity.

Thoughtless Christians imposed their values on such societies and as a result cannibalistic cultures are now endangered.

It’s a hunger orientation and they were born that way.

The other other white meat?

I always find German food to be a bit heavy.
