THE FIRST READER'S LAST MEALS OF THE FALL....

Dinner is served.

Barbara B. of parts unknown...
No way could I even think of eating for weeks before my execution. Forget it, it's not going to do anything anyway.

Vanessa of parts unknown....who is surprised and dismayed at all the Dominoes Pizza.

That is NO last meal. mine would be a gallon of tequila followed by MY homemade lasagne (because there is none better, ANYWHERE). then 2 steamed artichokes with hollandaise and a large piece of strawberry cheesecake. don't wanna be too full when i die! (oh, no alcohol??????????? make that 4 artichokes)

Ben M. of parts unknown (parts unknown must be a very crowded place)...

3 chopped bar-b-que sandwiches with pickles and extra sauce, 1 gallon cole slaw, 1 gallon Bushes baked beans, 1 large chicken fried steak with white gravy, English peas, mashed potatoes. 1 loaf garlic French bread, 1 large pepperoni thin crust dominoes pizza, 1 gallon of marinara sauce with a dozen cheese bread sticks. 1 keg of Ice House and a bottle of Tarantula Tequila, and a carton of Camel Lights...

Joe D. of the Columbus, Ohio area...

16 oz prime rib with horseradish from a local steak house in Columbus, Ohio, followed by two or three dozen breaded shrimp. Wasabi-garlic mashed potatoes with butter, candied sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, and asparagus with lemon butter sauce. I’d need four diet Pepsi’s with lots of ice to wash that all down. In my second course I’d want a thick slice of meaty, deep-dish lasagna with garlic toast. The meal would be capped off with the apple bread pudding from Gordon Biersh, another diet Pepsi, and a cup of the darkest, richest espresso anyone can find. It’s sort of sad that such a perfect meal will probably just come right back up at zero hour, but c’est la vie.

Yes indeed, Joe, yes indeed...
