Benedict Allen Missing

[Eichhörnchen]

He was last seen being dropped by helicopter into the jungle, in search of a "scary bunch" of headhunters who've never before had contact with the outside world...

[Aktungbby]

[Eichhörnchen]

What was he thinking?

[Catfish]

^ "I'll show them good taste." ?

[Jimbuna]

He must have been aware of the risks before he went there.

[Eichhörnchen]

Certainly food for thought :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

gutwrenching! :timeout: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/17/article-0-1C5EE14300000578-605_634x962.jpgmeets: :()1:Hey buddy! have I got a bone to pick with you!

[aanker]

Yep, Rockefeller years ago, some female who thought going solo down a river through headhunter country was a good idea a couple-three months ago, ....

'Sigh'

[Aktungbby]

Never mind New Guinea! one of my ATM techs is an immigrant Dyak from Indonesia....https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/COLLECTIE_TROPENMUSEUM_Portret_van_een_Dajak_krijg er_op_Borneo_met_twee_van_hoofddeksels_voorziene_s chedels_in_zijn_handen_en_een_kleed_over_zijn_scho uder_TMnr_60043379.jpg/220px-thumbnail.jpg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:COLLECTIE_TROPENMUSEUM_Portret_van_een_Dajak_ krijger_op_Borneo_met_twee_van_hoofddeksels_voorzi ene_schedels_in_zijn_handen_en_een_kleed_over_zijn _schouder_TMnr_60043379.jpg)While he is warm and cordial on the job, I can't quite 'wrap my head' around the cultural differences.... while I still have one! :timeout: :arrgh!:

You do not visit the locals who have a taste putting you on the menu.

Cannibal after first bite: "Tastes like chicken..."...

[AVGWarhawk]

And the head hunters want to keep from having contact with the outside world.

[Eichhörnchen]

He dodged the gravy after all:

[Jimbuna]

That's good to know but I doubt the experience will stop him returning again.

[Eichhörnchen]

These people who go out into the wilderness, get into trouble then have to be rescued... they should be severely dealt with for all the trouble, misery and inconvenience they cause.

It took me away from some other very important stuff when I had to put up this thread, to say nothing of all the heartache. I could really have done without it, Mr Allen.

Cannibal after first bite: "Tastes like chicken..."...






<O>

Long-pig is the correct term. ;)

[vienna]

I once asked one of my exs', over dinner and after she used the phrase "tastes like chicken", what would someone who had no knowledge of chicken say upon eating their first bite of chicken,; something like: "Hey, this 'chicken' thing tastes like red tree lizard."...

Explorer Benedict Allen has said he did not get lost or need rescuing from a jungle expedition in Papua New Guinea.
