A morbid poll

In the 37 states and federal government that currently have death penalty statutes, five different methods of execution are prescribed: Lethal Injection, Electrocution, Lethal Gas, Firing Squad, and Hanging.

I've asked my friends about what method of execution they would choose...

And their last meal.

Here are five of my friends', and my own.

Mine: Firing Squad

  • Arroz con gandules (PR style rice w/ pigeon peas)
  • lasagna
  • garlic bread
  • a BBQ Double Cheeseburger from Five Guys with fried onions and mayo
  • Cuban style ham croquettes
  • Cucumbers with ranch dressing
  • Ice cold pink lemonade
  • banana milkshake

Franklin: Lethal Injection
  • Lasagna
  • Rice & beans
Jamie: Lethal Injection
  • Turkey Cheeseburger
Andres: Gas Chamber
  • Churrasco from Rancho Jubilee
  • White rice
  • Red beans
  • Tostones
  • Green salad
  • Avocado
  • Lemonade

Mario: Lethal Injection
  • Cheese soup

Joel: Firing Squad
  • Steak & Eggs platter from Presidente
Call me crazy, but now I'm pretty hungry.

All my buddies are law-abiding for the most part (well, they're not being charged with violent crimes, anyway) so this is more of a last meal post...but there's a funky black humor twist added.
