Eat me.

January 12th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 20 Comments

Please, I actually want you to. I’m quite serious. See?

And the much larger pig who sliced himself up before me — so you could eat him, of course — has provided me with a handy little platform for my own self-carving. (Thanks, Bob! R.I.P.!)

Funny, I thought I’d be dead by now too…but I feel great!

I also assumed I was more complex inside than simply a ready-to-go sausage. Organs, heart, blood? …Nope! Just delicious sausage. Fine by me, really…and easier for you!

So: please eat me! It’s what I live(d) for.

    This reminds me of the little twinge I feel inside whenever I see an advertising mascot for some food who is himself the stuff the food is made from. Sausage companies are particularly likely to use them, and the twinge is particularly bad when I know the animal was brutally treated in life (like 90% of food animals in this industrialized agribusiness age), but Mayor McCheese also causes the twinge.

    Reminds me of the song from Addams Family Values (shut up, don’t judge me) with Pugsly dressed like a turkey singing “Eat Me”.

    [internet jerk]That scenario is totally impossible! The pig’s top half would’ve surely fallen to the floor after he sliced himself open the first time, which would’ve made the following cuts hard with his stubby arms. He’s not even holding the knife! It’s just resting against one of his trotters! How can a pig saw through its own body without the leverage of opposable thumbs?!? This advert totally disgusts me in its utterly false portrayal of the butchering and preparing of meat and meat by-products![/internet jerk]

    Same for us Flippies of the Philippines. We’ve got a blood stew made from chicken blood. And the ever popular unhatched chicken fetus.

    Thanks for the link. Some very funny stuff there… and yes, much creepiness as well.

    Let’s see, Bill mentions Baconators during riffs, posts photos of Pork Faggots, and then this picture….is it save to assume the Corbett household does not observe the kosher diet?

    Speaking of pig meat…

    I’ve always been fascinated by bacon, for the mere fact that it is one of the rarest of meats (no pun intended) – the garnish meat. Not often are meats paired with other meats, with the exception of bacon. The bacon cheeseburger, bacon wrapped filet mignon, chicken sandwich with bacon, you get the idea. So what is it about bacon that lends it so readily to this kind of coupling? Is it just the friendliest of meats? Does it get lonely? Maybe that’s why this pig is so happily preparing himself to be eaten. Until now he has only known solitude and lonliness, but he knows his life as bacon will be filled with joyous togetherness with some ground beef patty or breast of chicken. Or perhaps, sadly, he will become some lonesome sausage, not fit to be one with the others.

    The sad agony of the swine…

    Don’t forget my favorite, bacon-wrapped scallops. A delicious heart-clogger if there ever was one.
