TN HR · February 2005

This just in from CNN:

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (Reuters) -- A man convicted of killing his mother and three other people in a dispute over money was put to death by lethal injection Thursday in a Texas prison...................For his last meal, Bagwell requested a beefsteak with A1 sauce, six pieces of fried chicken, barbecued ribs, two hamburgers, a pound of fried bacon, a dozen scrambled eggs, french fries, onion rings, salad with ranch dressing, peach cobbler, ice tea, milk and coffee.

I don't know you guys' thoughts on this, but the Texas Department of Corrections had a sure bet on this one. Even if granted a stay, heck even clemency, with that diet he was sure to croak any day either way.

Have a great Friday!

Sounds like a helluva mess on the gurney!

I think they had him stand in a garbage bag, then duct taped it around his waist before laying him down.

LOL...is that what you supply at your hearty barbecues, instead of doggy bags?

Wow. This story brings the verb 'pig' to mind.

I can't remember the website, but there is one that lists the last meals of criminals. I remember one woman wanted a salad and a peach. I would have asked for a giant hot fudge sundae with extra hot fudge.

Remember the one about the elephant ear sandwich, where the prison officials could find the elephant ear, but not the BIG BUN??

Don D · February 2005

Elephants have big buns. Is that the point or just my twisted imagination at work again? Who could read your post and not have the same thought?

irenesmsaclaims · February 2005

It's just your twisted imagination at work again. Somehow I thought it would be clear that a big ear (elephant) would call for large bun, at least to regular people. And, yes, I'm sure that elephants have big buns.
