I found this on a survival site..stop laughing..if you're stranded somewhere you'd better hope someone like me is there. I can make fire without matches and find food. But, canned cheeseburgers was a new one on me. The first pic is what the manufacturer says it looks like. I had to go find someone who'd actually eaten this thing. The second picture is what it actually looks like. Surprisingly, not that bad. You throw the tin in hot water to heat it, then pop the top. It doesn't look any worse than McDonalds. But, still..ick.

the bun is included?! ew, that just sounds gross....
what did they say it tasted like?
Wow. It would have to be a long way from food and a long time since food for me to willingly eat that thing.
There are too many options in the survival food market that look way more appetizing. I don't like anything canned. Even beer I prefer from bottles; and I like (lager)beer; not lite beer.

Ahhh lager ale ! So refreshing !
Stella Artois , Heiniken , don't forget the Stout.
What about a pint o guinness ? Jarhead :)
Tall dark and rich with foam on top.
Amsterdam or Dublin you can't go wrong
in either city pub grub and fine libations
abound. Spring is just around the corner.Kiki :)
Gross? Yeah.
BUT - if I was a contestant on "Survivor", that would be my one special item from home!
It would go from being a disgusting food item to valuable merchandise for starving people - and I would use it against them!
OMG - obviously, I'm WAY too invested in this reality show....
I feel shame, now. :)
Hmmm. . . it doesn't look any worse than local fast food burgers that you get on a take-out basis. Once they're wrapped in foil/paper, they look like that, anyway. It would be interesting to try, and yes, I would. I've never seen it in a store, so I don't know where you get that sort-of thing.
LOL @ the survivor reference!
DH and I used to watch that without fail, but neither of us has followed this season, I'm not sure why. We would know all the characters, as I understand it. All our favorite villains and good-guys. Let me know who wins, if you don't mind. I would like to know.
I agree about the Survivor bit. I once chewed on chap stick for two days I was so hungry. I would chew it into a waxy shape and place it under my tongue for hours, then put it in my canteen for a couple more and repeat.
Agreed kiki, a pint of Guinness is always good. I tried Heineken dark and it was really good.
Jarhead
Can you tell I don't care about the Oscars?
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!
DD- I'm truly impressed that you can start a fire without any matches--what do you use?
Hope you are feeling stronger and well and that the neurologist reports are good news--so they can identify what's wrong. Sending you love. I thought the Oscars sucked--one of the worst shows ever.
Enrique
You sound like you've been through the
trenches ( no pun intended ) ( but the metephor
deems to suffice in your situation ) during
your tour of duty. Have you ever considered
to tell your stories. Write about your details
in the gulf. Perhaps you could find a ghost
writer to pen your memoirs ? Kiki :)
DD hope you are well. I'm sorry about the stress
that your mom has imposed upon u again.
Hug Niki close and don't look outside. Pets
are highly theraputic in difusing tension. I know
it must be difficult but try TRY to ignore her.
The more she knows it is bothering you she
will persist. I sense her spite all the way up
here in Canada. Remember your health comes
first please don't get involved in it with her. Kiki :)
the oscars were very dry and dull almost as
tasteless as day old dust ! Dissapointed by Martin &
baldwins hosting dynamic duo disaster :/ Kiki
kiki,
My experiences are no different from most guys that were ever in a combat zone.
A combat zone is days of boredom and routine with brief moments of panic, chaos and sensory overload. Soon boredom sets in and people start playing dangerous pranks on each other. Those are the stories that make for memories in an otherwise sad place.
Enrique
Kiki, New Belgium 1554 is my favorite! Dick's Danger on tap...yum! And, I like washing down a piece of dark chocolate with Rogue's Hazelnut Brown Nectar.....the aftertaste in your mouth is just to die for...
Jarhead...your name is Enrique AND you cook and like good beer! My, my, my!!! This southern lady is getting embarrassingly excited. You sound like the best of all worlds! The mystery that is Jarhead!!!
And they couldn't stop the war long enough for ya'll to get a snack? Those heathens!!!
Pat...get out your Burgess catalog and dream of your spring garden and how much fun you and Niki will have in it! Tell your mom to keep her fucking mess on her side! But I do hope you start feeling better!
Maybe when the weather is better and you can take Niki for a few good walks, you'll feel better---emotionally and physically.
OK Miss Tia...add FUCK THE MESS to the list!
I enjoyed Crabbie's "gang" last night more than the Oscars. I didn't watch the Oscars after they gave MY "Big Ass" award to Mono!!
Maybe next year I'll win. I did some intensive training last night. Ate the better part of a container of pralines and cream ice cream!!!
Mmmm! Guiness.
If there was nothing to eat and that was all there was..i would eat it. Feast or famine.
i am glad you are starting to feel better also Pat.
Has it gotten warmer? It was in the 60s today here in Northeast.
Meissa I know what you mean about the
combination of chocolate and alcohol !
Enrique
So no to the book deal then ? Kiki
And he's humble too! It just keeps getting better!
Jarhead...I hope you know i'm joking. I had one husband for 35 yrs. and that's all I want. But you do sound like a good catch!!
And it is storming again. I can't believe there is this much water in the world. At least in the summer your snow will be gone, but we will still have rain, rain and more rain!!! I'm starting to feel like the mushroom people. Has anyone ever seen that one? Japanese, about the time of Godzilla, etc.
And what about all these earthquakes? Can you have a earthquake if the ground is swollen with water? Can mush quake?
Bayou Jane-You crack me up and always make my day when you post!!
I have a gang?
Bayou Jane,
You sound like a lot of fun. I was going through desert training when I had to resort to the chap stick chewing. Food and sleep deprivation are standard practice to stress the students and force one to make decisions (escape and evade).
I loiter all throughout the southern coast of Louisiana.
Enrique
Chap Stick in the desert was still chewable and not just a splushy squisshy softy blechy hunk of melted vaseline?? I don't know what brand you had but mine ain't chewable, under any conditions. It's soft, so it wont rip your lips. Maybe Army issue chap stick was useless as a lip balm so you figured out an alternate use? Sounds like chewing wax lips or those wax pop bottles filled with colored water! Hey, at least you found something to do with yourself to keep hunger at bay. You're seem like a good guy & you do know what to say to women in a conversation, Bravo! But it does seem like everybody here is really having a good time jerking you off today. w/e...lonely housewives have at it. Have a party!

PS: That canned cheeseburger doesn't look inedible either. I would eat it. I think Spam looks way worse. The bun even looks soft & fresh. If you have to, you would. However, it's probably exploding with nitrates & preservatives. Not a good thing. But maybe they are preparing us for the apocalyse/revolution when we will need food that we have stored and cannot get out to search for any. Wonder what this thing costs? Is it a Dollar Menu item?
Hi Rox,
Break a piece off Chap Stik and put it between your lips and gum. It's flavored wax, and after the flavor wears out I would put it in my canteen and it would harden-up and be ready for some more chewing.
At the end of the 60 day course I got a hot dog, a Snickers bar and 2 beers. I bit and chewed on half the dog, sipped on the beer but could't finish it and gave away the Snickers bar I felt so sick. My stomach was so small and I lost a total of 16 pounds by the end of the course. My fingernails would leak pus and my feet were black. I had to soak my hands and feet in iodine for a week. Ahh the beauty in suffering.
Jarhead
Enrique yet you still don't want to write a book ?
Did u sign a confidentiality agreement ? Kiki :)
that meat looks absolutely disgusting.
