Twenty-five minutes to go
Sorry to say, but I am a pretty morbid guy. Christy and I had an interesting conversation the other day, wherein I asked her what she would want her last meal to be if she was going to be executed. It should be noted, I asked her this same question a few weeks before, and completely forgot about it.
Her answer is that she would want her mom to make her Thanksgiving Dinner, with turkey and stuffing and all that stuff. She loves her Thanksgiving meal, probably because she was born the day after Thanksgiving. I think this is a pretty good request, especially when you take into account that Mary Kay is a chef of some reknown. I personally wouldn't because I don't want my mom to have to cook me my last meal before I get strung up.
When I thought about it for awhile, I said I would want my last meal to be something like two triple cheeseburgers from Wendy's, because when are you ever going to get a chance to eat two triple cheeseburgers without fear of the consequences. Now, I'm not saying that would be my last meal, because I think I'd ask for something else. But what I was trying to say was, if I'm getting a last meal, you bet your bottom dollar I am filling ever last inch of my tummy.
Somebody else had my idea, at least. I direct you to the Wikipedia entry on last meals. According to that article - and you know Wikipedia is never wrong - a fellow named Morris O'Dell Mason had four Big Macs, two large orders of fries, two hot fudge sundaes, a hot apple pie and two large Cokes.
Shit, man. I think that would be anybody's last meal, even if they weren't being executed!
Additionally, here's a blog that chronicles last meal requests. Check out this description of a convicted murderer's last meal!

It's just my favorite meal becuase I love the food! My mom makes a killer turkey. Her dinner rolls, made from scratch (nothng beats watching her wrestle with the yeast)... all the stuffing... not stove top from MKM's kitchen. The sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes, and green beans... we typically have 10-12 different foods for dinner at that meal. And ALL of it satisfies! I can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner! But McDonald's for my last dinner? No, I don't think so.
