Bacon is the answer to life, the universe, and everything!

A truer thing cannot be said!!  

Never had a calzone, but anything pizza like is fine by me!  If I ever travel to the US I will try all the pizza variations there are

I make my own cake these days, but mainly for the kids because they get crazy excited no matter whose birthday it is and are always up for some.

Bundaberg ginger beer

I'm a dog person, but I think I'd rather be a cat.......9 lives and all that

Also had lamb for dinner (roast with bone in ) but with about a liter of gravy thick enough to choke a horse

I bet the Easter Bunny has won every fight ever.........by at least 100 yards!!

Pizza is life!  Pizza with pineapple on it transcends life itself.

I've seen a 4m croc and heaps of smaller ones.  It is not normal for crocs to be found wandering the streets, though it has happened https://www.tropicnow.com.au/2017/january/1/croc-wanders-down-street-and-sunbakes-in-backyard.html  There's quite a few 5m crocs about, though I haven't seen those ones.  As you can imagine there are a great deal of stories about how big a certain croc was that was seen or otherwise bumped into.  Most of these stories must be seen for what they are.....expansions on the truth for the most part.  I know of three people who've seen evidence of the monster to rival Krys (the statue). 

I think another worthy expression would be tongue in cheek.

These movies make me think of 'Honey I shrunk the kids'

It would be cannibalism because you're still eating a member of your own species.

 

But the question isn't asking you to eat a cannibal it's asking if you would join in with the soon to be cannibals or choose to starve to death instead.

In this instance no!  
 

I have this irritating habit of getting lost on some tangential thought though, hence the slightly ‘off the mark’ first response.  However I do  think cannibal’s are misunderstood...... for starters the word ’cannibal’ has become a label totally loaded with negative connotations that we just throw around everywhere these days, like what does it even mean???  That a loving parent can’t feed their children a nutritious meal that also is of great cultural significance?  Who are we to judge them for indulging in a cultural practice, probably handed down to them from generation to generation??  I bet they think we’re a right bunch of gross weirdos for eating bacon or some form of leaf!!  Maybe this misunderstood cultural practice has inspired many common concepts that we all are familiar with, including that of putting ones foot in ones mouth, to live hand to mouth, biting your tongue, or chewing your ear off.

I think it important to keep your head in these matters, to not jump to a popular conclusion based on some label, and to not roast people for their cultural and other lifestyle choices.  On another note, if a cannibal identifies as a vegan, who are we to deny him/her/other that right.

By killing and eating a cannibal, is it cannibalism or self-defense and survival? (Based on the premise that cannibalism is a lifestyle choice much like veganism).

Pineapple because it goes on pizza

Not far from where we live there is a statue of the largest crocodile ever killed (8.5 m long) back in the days when hunting crocs was still a thing (back in the 50's or 60's I think).  This statue is a representation of how big the croc was based on the dimensions taken at the time.  Croc numbers diminished quite a bit over the years they were hunted, however now since crocs have been protected for many years their numbers are increasing, and so are their sizes.  I've heard reports from quite a few sober people about evidence of one (or more) crocodiles in our region that are approaching the 10 m size.  Certainly there are many that exceed the length of the average fishing boat (about 5 m).  I look forward to seeing some evidence of it in the future (hopefully a photo from a safe distance).

@Smith you're shorter than I imagined you!  Or are you the one in the veil??

1min 48secs without deep breathing or lying down.  I might have made it a bit longer if I wasn't consuming O2 by listening to music and consciously engaging in a variety of other cerebral functions.

My wedding ring dropped into Moreton Bay while I was out sailing one day.  I no longer wear any jewelry.

Feed it to the kids

Water out of the tap, coffee and regular tea.

Icy cold water is nice but a waste of time IMO, the body has to heat it up and it just slows down time to maximum hydration because you don’t drink as fast.

The amount of digging I’ve done in my backyard and elsewhere........ earth every time!!!

There is a somewhat philosophical point that has been made about this by someone very much smarter than I.  This may be conflating a few things, however without googling it, I recall it went something like this: that whether alien life exists/has existed is irrelevant due to the point that if life is in any way consistent across the universe, then it is very possible that they had, or will expire before becoming technologically advanced enough to be in a position to influence (via communication or other means) life on earth as we know it.  Also something to do with our population on earth (as a yardstick perhaps) statistically suggesting the potential longevity of human (and alien) existence or some such.  That is to say that if you pulled a little ball out of a jar containing an unknown quantity of balls in it, and it had the number 10 on it, you would not unreasonable think that there was perhaps a greater chance of there being maybe 15 balls in there rather than 15k balls.  We are all around the 108 billion mark.  How much longer do we need to become technologically advanced enough to explore the further reaches of the universe to find (or not) alien life?  And additionally to the insight provided by @Angevin, after reaching such a degree of technological advancement to reach planet earth, what possibly could be found in a rednecks rectum that would be of any consequence to them?

Probability clearly is not my strong point, so my money is on yes and none of the aforementioned ideas are my own, but they sound good!

Have no clue who New Era Enterprisers are, but I agree with those above who also think the questions were very poorly contrived.  A black and white response to any issue stifles debate and compromise, which are both critical components of a healthy democracy.  I consider myself right of centre, but certainly not far right.  Everyone needs to be unhappy for a government to justifiably claim to have done a good job

@themadstork I too am married, however my wife's birthday is irritatingly proximal to this over-commercialised, grotesquely profiteering, nonsensical excuse for a yet another day dedicated to demasculating a society ever more dependent on the strength of others to function.  And by desmasculating I mean eradicating entirely the cultural scurge born of the male homosapien who clearly has nothing of value to contribute to current topical issues (except taxes of course).

To be fair, I forgot and this is the rant in my head rather than the grovelling apology that came out

A belated happy and loving Valentine's day to any who care

How do you people function??  Coffee first but tea is an acceptable alternative and has it's place.
