We just got back from seeing SoaP. I haven't laughed so hard in ages! A classic B flick with A+ acting...it doesn't get much better than that!

I still think it would be best at a drive-in, however.

Every time I see this thread, I think "Well, you know, what do you expect? It's an f'ing PLANE. You're lucky to get those peanuts."

The film's finally landing in the base theater here. I plan on seeing it. (That was actually pretty quick. It usually takes a lot longer for AAFES a lot longer.)

I have a feeling that expression is going to remain in American slang long after the movie has moved on to cult status. :wink:

Possibly I should clarify. Every time I see the thread title, I see it as "Snacks on a plane."

Surely I'm not the only one here who has ever eaten snake for a snack.

Surely you are. I have seen film footage of restaurants in China where you get to go in and choose your snake(s). They are then killed, butchered and cooked on the spot. Freshness is very important in Chinese cuisine.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

Nope, I have. Tastes like... well, cooked snake. :D

I had rattlesnake meat once. Breaded and fried. Tasted like chicken.
How do you prepare for the end of the world?

Believe it or not, I, too, once ate snake (and turtle).

Only if it's prepared unimaginatively. Needs a little BBQ sauce.

But I guess you gotta filter out the spambots.

The rattler I had at the Apache Rattlesnake Festival tasted like muddy catfish.

Alligator definitely tastes like chicken--plump and juicy white meat. Mmmmm!

The nicest thing about them here is that you know your meal used to be a nuisance, and now it's just yummy! It's not often that you get to eat the things that aggravate you.

I got alligator at Landry's once, and spent the whole meal trying to decide if that slightly non-chicken taste I was tasting was really there, or something I was deluding myself into sensing some slightly non-chicken taste because I knew the food wasn't chicken. And then I started wondering how I would tell if they had served me chicken instead.

So, I decided to quit eating alligator. It was way too much money to spend on angst ;)
