Tiny mandarins / Imagine being an unwitting cannibal... / KFC Old-Fashioned Huckleberry Cake
I've been toying around with the idea of making my own brief round of New Year's calls, but I probably won't. I think I'm too darned tired to really be anything near coherent (why did I stay up for 21.5 hours again?!), which is why I'm sticking with online communication because then I can correct my typos and delete / rewrite stuff as necessary! :P Besides, it's a little late for a "Happy New Year!" call... meh, maybe later? Then again, I don't know how long "meeting the Hos" is gonna take... might as well do it now, haha. (the holiday season is finally over, heh!)
I'm still amazed by these TINY mandarin oranges that my mom got from somewhere for dinner yesterday. They rock, haha. When I saw these big oranges in the Kan kitchen, I was telling Holly that these looked like monsters compared to the tiny ones, haha.
Today's Sweet-Tasting Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
A court in the Russian internal republic of Bashkortostan has passed an 11-year sentence to a woman who killed her boyfriend with an axe and then cooked him in a variety of dishes which she fed to her guests at a New Year party.
The Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports that the incident took place in the small town of Sterlitamak. The 44-year old woman suspected her boyfriend, who was younger than her, of unfaithfulness. In a heated row, grabbed an axe and hacked him to death.
Then, the woman flayed and dismembered the body. She threw away the head and used the rest to cook a New Year dinner. She minced some meat and used in meatballs and dumplings and also made jellied meat with hands and feet — she later bartered that dish for liquor with neighbors.
When the guests arrived, the woman treated them to everything she cooked — meatballs, dumplings, soup, and liver sausage. The people did not know they were eating human flesh. Only one guest noticed that the meat was unusually sweet, but he was told that this was because it was very fresh.
When the party was coming to an end, one of the guests looked into the fridge and found a severed human hand there. He called the police, and the murderer confessed during the first questioning.

And on this festive note... a Mirthfully Morbid New Year, everyone!
In order to see out twenty-oh-sicks in fine style, I have finally completed my long awaited travelogue on The Garden Of Eden in Lucas, Kansas. It's a bit long-winded... well, it's very long-winded... I probably need to get myself an editor... but hopefully you'll find some enjoyable moments in it.

"My Brush With Morbidity" by John
"I was about 12 years old living in Hillside, IL across a park from a main expressway out of Chicago (the Eisenhower). It was about January or February and I was shoveling snow. From the expressway, I heard this long skid / horn / crash.
"I dropped my shovel, yelled at my mom to call the police (this was 37 years ago and there was no 911 at the time), and took off towards the expressway. The traffic had basically slowed to less than 10 mph as the crash had happened in the center lane.
"When I got up there, I saw a compact car (Toyota-ish or Ford Escort-ish size) with 2 guys inside both not moving at all. What had hit them was the tractor portion of a semi (no trailer). The bumper of the tractor was up against the passenger's shoulder basically squeezing him between it and the console. Both of their heads were against each other.
"I found out a couple of days later they both had died almost instantly when this occurred. What had happened is they had hit a patch of ice and slid in front of the tractor. There was no blood I could see that was visible, so I was really surprised that they had died.
"For some strange reason, I have NEVER forgotten the details to what had happened."
Ahhhh, there's no brush with morbidity like the first one...

Wretched Recommendations!
Nightmaresghost has a film recommendation:
"The Cube series is all very good. The first, in my opinion, was kind of slow. The second, Cube: Hypercube, was a slightly faster paced and more gory version of the first. I would say it is a far better made film, save that it has entirely too much CGI. Obviously, they played off of the cult success of the original. The lesser known third movie, though, is by far the best. Cube Zero is a fantastically gory film. In my opinion, any movie that starts with a man getting an acid wash and scratching his flesh off is a real winner. If you haven't seen any of these films, I would suggest watching them. They're all very wonderfully done, and mostly low budget. For being shot in a rather repetitive scenery, the whole series is wonderful."
