| Hershel Shimonicher Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Title: Hunger Strike BBQ Comment: So the thing to do now, is in [a] few days, when the terrorists are good and hungry, get as close to the prisons as possible and cook hotdogs and steaks over charcoal. Let the smells waft into their cells and drive them crazy. My kinda guy. |

| #36 Rolling a cart with fresh Krispy Kreme pastries up and down the cell blocks. Those poor bastages would go nuts. |

| #35 Rendezvous barbecue sauce--from the Memphis BBQ establishment of the same name--on chicken and beef If you have eaten Charlie Vergo's barbecue, you have had a taste of the hereafter. It was the first sampling of truly fine barbecue I ever had and serves as a gold standard by which to measure all others. My own dry rub pork ribs get rave reviews and are modeled closely upon Vergo's recipe and preparation methods. |

| #34 Rendezvous barbecue sauce--from the Memphis BBQ establishment of the same name--on chicken and beef. Slow cooking over hickory charcoal. Dutch apple pie. Cinnamon donuts. Ummm. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.... This South Beach Diet does strange things to my head. |

| #33 They TOLD you it was salmon! |

| #32 Imagine Soylent Green made from salmon instead of people; that's what it was like. |

| #31 Back when they served that crud to us "fresh", that's what many of us assumed it was. Try and console yourself with the fact that at least they served you the first prize entry. |

| #30 I doubt it, TGA. As I recall, even a healthy dose of Loco Weed before dinner couldn't make that stuff appetizing. |

| #29 Dave, maybe Ms Hightree (see the Pravda post) ate too much of it, 36 years later... |

| #27 LET THEM Best snarky comment of the day, TGA! |

| #26 Zenster, the only reply to that meeting would be: LET THEM |

| #25 Expect a UNSC meeting about this tomorrow But of course, TGA. They'll bat the idea around for hours over a 12 course haute cuisine dinner, and then agree upon a resolution that condemns the Israelis for cruel and inhuman punishment without making even a single passing reference to terrorism. Any questions? I hate to think what it would be like after 36 years in my refrigerator. Think of it more as a science fair project. |

| #24 "Hmmmm Dave, if you only saved some of that "meat" we could put it to good use now." That was back in 1968, TGA. It was pretty rank back then when it was [allegedly] fresh, I hate to think what it would be like after 36 years in my refrigerator. |

| #22 The strike is being organised by the three main Palestinian factions - Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah. Memo to hunger strikers: When people who normally encourage murderers to kill themselves along with their victims are organizing your hunger strike, you may want to reconsider what sort of final outcome is intended for you. One of the most well-known participants is Marwan Barghouti, who is currently serving five consecutive life sentences for murder. As well as outdoor grills and the baking of extra bread and cakes in prison kitchens, the Israeli authorities have banned all family visits and restricted sales of sweets and cigarettes to prisoners. EMPHASIS ADDED Ahhh, the smell of baking bread has to be one of the most irresistable aromas there is. Those diabolically clever Israelis! |

| #21 Hmmmm Dave, if you only saved some of that "meat" we could put it to good use now. Expiry date? What expiry date? |

| #20 "Mystery Meat?" From your description, Dave, it sounds as though you're talking about sending Michael Moore to these prisons.... which might not be an entirely bad idea, now that I consider it. |

| #19 TGA, this Mystery Meat sure had a difference: it was utterly bland (probably a consequence of which parts of the salmon it was made from), a faintly orangish gray in color, and it jiggled. And it had... things in it. It was truly revolting. Regarding Economy Class, I remember the airline food they used to serve many years ago (1967 or thereabouts), when ticket prices here in the USA were still regulated and the airlines didn't have to cut corners because of cutthroat price competition. Back then, the food was excellent. I don't fly anymore. I drive. My last vacation trip was 9,100 miles, and I loved every minute of it. |

| #18 Heh, "Mystery Meat", that stuff found its way into economy class. "Chicken or beef Sir?" "What's the difference?" |
| Posted by: True German Ally 2004-08-16 4:21:57 PM |
| #17 Perfect time to buy a bunch of those Ron Popiel Rotisseries. Put them just outside the cells, put on the lamb then "set it and forget it." |

| #16 Good points both, TGA. Definitely want to blast the jihadis with the Aroma-tron when the pangs are at their worst. Then feed the little darlings the crap they fed us in the college cafeteria: Salmon Loaf, a.k.a. "Mystery Meat." |

| #15 Btw, it's a good thing to start the BBQ now, because the first days of a hunger strike are the hardest. |
| Posted by: True German Ally 2004-08-16 3:59:59 PM |
| #14 Fully agree with the BBQ but only if the inmates DON'T get to eat from it. |
| Posted by: True German Ally 2004-08-16 3:57:16 PM |
| #13 ""Those who die emaciated shall be burried with the pigs." " Actually, this should be fed to the pigs. Imagine, Islamo's being reprocessed into Pig Turds. |

| #12 They want these asshats to eat... why? BH and 2%, both of you may be unclear on the concept here. People merely want the Palestinian prisoners to suffer a bit more acutely from their self-induced hunger pangs. If these murderous thugs are going to pretend at having such high and mighty principles, then by all means hold them to it on the most grueling of terms. It's not as if they've ever shown any mercy to their victims. And, yes David D., most definitely roast some whole spitted lambs, preferrably using a seasalt, cracked pepper, zatar and rosemary dry rub with a lemon juice, red wine, garlic and herb basting sauce. Use fans to waft the aroma of roasting meat directly into the prison yard and make sure these self-righteous b@stards get a good whiff of it around the clock. Here's an excerpt to keep things in perspective: The prisoners, who are expected to start the protest by August 18 at Nafha prison, are demanding public telephones in their cell blocks, the removal of glass separating them from visiting relatives, and an end to what they call "intrusive" body searches. "I reject outright all the terrorists' requests," Hanegbi said Friday, claiming that the strike was being organized by Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. He was speaking during a press conference at the Public Security Ministry in Jerusalem after a meeting with national police chief Moshe Karadi and Prisons Service director Ya'akov Ganot to discuss possible scenarios ahead of the hunger strike, which is set to take place in 20 prisons across Israel. Security sources and the Prisons Service intelligence service say the real motivation for the strike has nothing to do with the prisoners' demands. They argue that the prisoners are losing ground in the public consciousness of Palestinians, which is also manifested by significantly lower stipends being given to their families. What is certain is that the prisoners are threatening to extend their hunger strike in a dramatic fashion, some even hinting that they would be willing to in fact die of hunger, imitating inmates in Turkey and Northern Ireland. It is still unclear whether the hunger strike will include female security prisoners, and it is certain that none of the teenage prisoners will be allowed to participate. In talks between prisoner representatives and prison officials, the Prisons Service's inclination has been to meet some of the prisoners' demands, such as limiting the number of prisoners who are not allowed to receive visitors. However, these do not include the main demands of the prisoners, which have been rejected due to security considerations. The Prisons Service says that there is a great deal of coordination among the prisoners in the various prisons, including the preparation of terrorist attacks. "We have often found [during body searches] maps of the prisons or routes of buses carrying prisoners to court. The aim is clear: carry out a terrorist attack," officers at Shikma prison say. Officers also reject the prisoners' demand for telephones. They do not want the telephones to say hello to their families. "They intend to give orders for terrorist attacks," says the superintendent of the Shikma prison, Yosef Mikdash. EMPHASIS ADDED My oh my, donor fatigue seems to be setting in on all fronts and nobody gives a royal sh!t, not even their own families. Poor little turds picked the wrong time to get any sympathy. Prolonged malnutrition can have serious health consequences too. Depressed immune function, bone loss and impaired musclular reaction times all result from reduced nutrient uptake. I hope each and every one of these maggots shortens their respective lifespan by doing this. The sooner they |

| #11 Or have it known that whatever money is saved by not feeding the prisoners will be forwarded to the Israeli Military. |

| #10 Lets have them put some swine into adjacent cells and post a sign for all the prisoners to see. "Those who die emaciated shall be burried with the pigs." See how long this hunger strike continues. |

| #9 I think I'm missing a fundamental part of this. They want these asshats to eat... why? |

| #8 The hunger strike was praised by Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, who has for months cast himself as a virtual prisoner of Israel, confined to his West Bank compound. "The president ... hailed our heroes in Israeli jails for being steadfast," said a Palestinian government statement Chairman Arafat was in a dinner meeting with his cabinet and unavailable for further comment |

| #7 Mrs. Davis, you're almost as wicked as your husband :-) BBQ, beer, and babes playing volleyball: the prisoners will think they're already in Paradise. An AMERICAN Paradise! |

| #6 Go all the way, have the Pizza for the IDF guys open up a Kababs for the Prisoners site and then invite the top four teams in the Women's Volleyball playoffs to come back for a rematch outside the fences. It could be televised on Al-Jizz and probably make more than Athens. |

| #5 They're actually gonna do it! Pass the popcorn. "Among the various methods we plan to employ is holding barbecues outside the walls of the affected prisons," a Prisons Service spokesman said, without giving a timetable. reuters article |

| #4 "To bad their won't be any pork ribs." Yeah, but you can bet there'll be plenty of BBQ'd lamb. Devilishly tasty (at least in my opinion), and it stinks to high heaven. It'll drive the Paleos stark, raving bugshit. |

| #3 They should at least crack a couple of beers to disgust these freaks in their moment of piety. |

| #2 "As far as I'm concerned they can strike for a day, a month, until death. We will ward off this strike and it will be as if it never happened," Security Minister Tzahi Hanegbi said. My kind of guy. To bad their won't be any pork ribs. |
