Eating Flies to live.....

I would eat bugs or other things if I needed to for survival. I think it's curious though, that this guy was just lost for several days on a beach. I think there must be plant materials, berries, or some seafood that could be gotten before I resorted to flies. I've fasted in the past for 3 days, hardly a life and death situation. :playful:
 
"(Sittin' With) The Flies Off The Bay"
(apologies to Otis Redding)


Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when that black cloud comes
Watching the flies fly in
But they never fly away again, yeah

I'm sittin' with the flies off the bay
Eatin' the flies before they get away, ooh
I'm just sittin' with the flies off the bay
Munchin' flies

I left my swatter in Georgia
And the sticky-strips in Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like no flies gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit with flies off the bay
Watchin' them try to fly away, ooh
I'm sittin' with the flies off the bay
Munchin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
All these flies all taste the same
I can't do what nutritionists tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And these blue-bottles won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to eat flies in my home, now

I'm just gon' sit with the flies off the bay
Watchin' them try to get away, ooh
Sittin' with the flies off the bay
Munchin' time

Martin: Aren't you ashamed now? Aren't you? Spiders now, is it? Flies ain't good enough!
Renfield: Flies? Flies? Poor puny things! Who wants to eat flies?
Martin: You do, you loony!
Renfield: Not when I can get nice fat spiders!
Martin: All right, have it your own way.

Man survives on flies while lost several days in outback. Longreach, Australia made our local news about this man. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Ugh.....:playful:

Well, what about all those survival shows where they eat the most godawful things to survive.

Sometimes death might not be so bad..

I'm sorry - that just looks too much like the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez incident to get my taste buds going.

I half-expect to see penguins and seals walking around covered in the stuff. :playful:

I've tried eating it raw, right in the water - salty and slimy. If I wanted THAT kind of taste sensation I'd eat snails (or my ex's spaghetti!).

I love taking a nice bite of kelp while I'm waiting for a wave.
