Joshi Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Just wandering about those cute, lovable, funny fruit mask wearing cannibles on Monkey Island. Now let me get this perfectly straight. Monkey island is almost unihabited apart from these guys, the ghost pirates and Herman Toothrot (and the monkeys). Now the Ghost pirates can't be eaten for obvious reasons, for completely unobvious reasons, they didn't eat Herman and the monkeys, well, lets just say there are places where even cannibles draw the line. So what exactly were these people living on? Each other (hence why there are so many huts in a village of only 3 people) or are they slowly dying off (hence the same effect). Discuss.
Reaper Girl Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 They're vegatarians, i think. They only have people over for special occasions. Maybe everyone else in the village is invisable, or are all in thier basements...
Ernil Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Remember? They're not eating red meat. Think of the calories! Is something that the cannibal in front remarks when the second cannibal says he wants to eat guybrush. And they said that LeChuck being on the island has screwed up all of the tourism...perhaps they ate tourists.
zesja Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 What about the Tofu? Whist they are waiting for a tasty human to come along they can replace their hunger with Tofu
Joshi Posted November 4, 2003 Author Posted November 4, 2003 Well, they only became vegetarian after leaving the island and going to blood where the volcano was lactose intolerant. (thus where they got the tofu from and why). I guess it may have been tourists, but then everyone said that people couldn't find monkey island without that recipe thing, so where would the tourists have come from in the first place?
Ray Jones Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 tourists have the ability to pop up everywhere where you least expect them. we have many tourists.. here errrmm.. in .. this city..
Alia Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Maybe they were undead tourists from LeChuck's crew and the cannibals were eating their zombie corpses! They certainly did eat people. I mean, I weren't there skulls and bones all over the place in SoMI? Oh, I forget. LeChuck and his crew were all ghosts. Nothing substantial there. So...people like HT who got there by accident? Maybe there are other, secret, unknown ways to get there.
thejane Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Maybe they're cannibals in a more philosophical sense. You know, like "animals are people too." Do you think people taste more like pork or beef? Or maybe Chicken? I mean, everything tastes like chicken, so maybe people do as well. Although they do say that we share many characteristics with pigs, so pork would seem to be the logical comparison. Doctors do sometimes use pig organs in transplants.....
Joshi Posted November 4, 2003 Author Posted November 4, 2003 Human Flesh? It basically tastes like a cross between a manitee (you know, sea cow), a bengal tiger and a unicorn. Not that Id know of course, having never tasted human flesh (phew, got outta that one) And andy... maybe there are other secret unknown ways to monkey island, but then wouldn't they be the same as the other way to monkey island, you know, secret and unknown? Thus still stopping tourists popping up? And yes, they do pop up everywhere, but for the purpose of this conversation, they don't.
Alia Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Well, true, but screw the tourists. They are always getting into everything. They - uhh - stumble unwittingly onto Monkey Island. Wait! Wait! Here's another idea! What if the three cannibals we met ate all the other ones? That way, there could have been a lot of cannibals, and nobody else coming into the island. That's it! *waits for someone to come and point out all the flaws in the last paragraph*
Udvarnoky Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I'd say tourists. They said that it was a long time ago, anyway, and it's probably easier to find Monkey Island when you're not looking for it.
Ernil Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I'm surprised the Cannibles didn't get into the body of the captain of Hermans ship. The one that hung himself setting up a swing. Seeing that dead guy there for them would be like us seeing a piece of chocolate swinging on a rope in the jungle. I wonder why they never had a go.
Reaper Girl Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Maybe he'd be more like aged meat, human jerky...yumm.... He's probably spoiled, anyway... And considering the item/problem sloving, they are too stupid/incapacitated to get him down.
Lefty9fingers Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Human flesh would taste like the dark meat portions of chicken (the thighs and legs). Relatively speaking we have very little meat other than the muscular parts of the body, the thighs, buttox and breast muscles. This being said people probably wouldn't like the taste of people because there are a lot of people who become physically ill from the taste of dark chicken meat. That is why McNuggets and chicken stripps etc. are always billed as "all white breast meat".
Alia Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Actually McDonald's didn't start doing that until pretty recently....I wonder...
Lefty9fingers Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Actually actually McDonalds originally had only all white breast meat in their McNuggets, but then to save money they started mixing. Recently they switched back to all white breast meat to save their asses from bankruptcy.
Ernil Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Don't be so closed minded guys. Human's not so bad. 'Specially baby.

Lefty9fingers Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Would baby meat be all tender and juicy like veal?
Glottis512 Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Probably. Actually, human flesh tastes very sweet, like chicken dunked in sugar. (Don't write in) To explain the cannibals, think of this. A village, too many huts for the 3 people to live in. Explanation: The cannibals ate each other until there were only 3 left. Then these tree became vegetarian, which explains how they survived. Unless, they ate monkey.
Shivermetimbers Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Dark meat in chickens and other poultry is better for you.
Alia Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Eating each other? I thought I said something like that before.
Lefty9fingers Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 the only reason dark meat in chicken is better is because it is lower in free-radical content. Free radicals are unstable reactive molecules known to cause cancer in humans. Anti-oxidants, the good stuff in red wine, are what fight free radicals. That is why drinking a glass of red wine each day is good for you. However, chicken is usually prepared grilled or fried, which actually introduces more free-radicals into the chicken. So even IF dark meat is better for you, cooking it makes it no better or worse. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Joshi Posted November 12, 2003 Author Posted November 12, 2003 Hey, here's a new thought, what if all the cannibles ate each other? No one came up with that idea yet. Oh on, wait, yes they did. Who was it I wonder? perhaps it was the guy who frickin started this frickin thread! Oh, and yes, it may taste like chicken, but then again, maybe not, remember, chicken is poultry, i.e. bird, a completely different class of animal, if anything, human flesh would taste like pig or, well, monkey (them being out closest relatives, apart from my uncle flow). But of course, not many have tasted monkey (kinda stringy) so our best bet is to compare human flesh to something like pork or lamb. I wonder if Ron and Tim had predicted that thirteen years after the release of The Secret of Monkey Island, there would be an internet forum talking about what Human Flesh tastes like because of the involvement of cannibles on Monkey Island?
