Heart… oh sorry, red pill 🙂 I’ve never been a hunter so I just don’t think I could do it. And he’s so stinking cute! And left alone long enough he’d make for a fun friend maybe…. if we survive that is. Hmm…now I want to watch Castaway…
Good film isn’t it? I particularly hate / love the initial plan crash. It’s so real isn’t? You can just imagine it being like that what with the noises of the engine spinning out and all the other shenanigans. Scary! And Wilson…who couldn’t love Wilson? Lol.
I would most likely name Mr. Orangutan Wilson 🙂
Lol.
I actually have a friend who survived a plane crash in northern Canada in a bush plane… everyone on board survived actually…
Grooooogh! Not sure I would fly again after that.
She has actually gone on several mission trips since…she said it wasn’t going to keep her out of the air 🙂 I’m with you though… I already have troubles enjoying plane rides…haha
No brainer for me – red pill. Lots of thoughts on the subject, but I will say that if it is guaranteed that baby O is going to die anyway, I will kill and eat it. However, if there is a baby O., it sort of implies that there is some kind of food that Orangs (which means, me, too) can eat.
True…but maybe that’s why Baby O was abandoned, because of lack of food and getting caught up in turf fights between the various orang-y communities.
Red pill, with a caveat. Leave the baby orangutan. You’ll have enough issues caring for yourself. Natural selection will out for the infant unfortunately. Speaking of which, you’re in the same soup; outside in nature unprepared, untrained. Such selection could see your elimination as a way to continue the species. definitely red pill.
Ah poor Baby O! I hear you with the natural selection. I doubt that I could do it though.
Blue pill. I’ve got a lot more to lose tbh
Straight to the point! Although you never know! Baby O could grow up to become the next…er president of …er orangutans…or something.
Maybe baby was left behind because Mama realized there’s something wrong with him and he’s not a viable Orangutan. I’m going be the one who points out that there’s a third side to this coin (the edge) – leave the baby and continue alone. (Yeah, baby or not, those things are Strong, don’t fancy my chances of being able to dine on it.)
Oh nice, always like the sideways thinking!
I would take the red pill. I don’t think I could kill and eat him even if I was starving. Maybe he could help get us food and reach things I couldn’t. After all, he has better hunting skills and climbing skills than me.
I can see it now. You teaching him sign language and him showing you the best berries to pick. Awww. Lol. 🙂
Red pill of course! We’ll find some bananas or something I’m sure. 🙂
Ah, an optimist in our ranks! 🙂
My favorite question like this is between killing a human baby or an old person for food.
I’d save baby O. Dying of starvation doesn’t seem so bad.
Oh now that’s a good one! Might use it. Although I expect most people would say kill the old person…depending on how frail or useful they were, plus more meat. (I felt a bit of sick in my throat writing that).
I was surprised at how quickly family members came up with answers. It was 50/50. The foodies of the family went for the baby but the more pragmatic went for the old person. One human or monkey is only going to last a few days anyway. I say all starve together. Babies are cute but old people have better stories.
Please stop this. This is twice we are in agreement.
Keep the o. Keep you warm at night. Also he is not actually an orphan. Mama o shows you the food.
He’d be a great snuggler! 🙂
I couldn’t kill it, even to stay alive. I’d go on with it to find a way for us both to survive.
I am saluting your comment Ma’am.
red pill. I’ll just starve to death. Besides, why should I be afraid of being dead? And what makes my life more important than the baby O? Ok I know…liberal thoughts you might think…no I’m not a vegetarian or vegan or a member of PETA. But Baby O is just too cute to kill. 🙂
Liberal schmiberal. These are fine thoughts! 🙂
Red pill. I don’t like the look of Baby O, he might have got something horrid that I would catch if I ate him. I couldn’t kill him anyway with those huge eyes boring into me!
It’s the eyes!…Those eyes! Lol!
Red pill, you can find food in the jungle and the company from the baby O will help keep you sane. Besides how would you even be able to kill that baby? Would you be eating it raw? The thought horrifies me! I don’t eat baby animals and it would only give you a tiny bit of food!
Probably not even a sausage worth, poor little tyke! But I like the thinking re the sanity and company.
Is it organic;-)
And also is it possible to have salt in the equation?
That’s just wrong! Lol.
Yep, and I don’t even know if it’s tasty;-)
Serious now, I’d probably need to get to some insanity level hunger, to even consider eating that poor thing…
Amen to that. 🙂
Pikachu, I choose YOU!
Oh, sorry… wrong show, wrong context.
The red pill every time. I know it’s hypocritical when I have plenty of meat in my diet, but I just couldn’t kill and consume the little tyke. I couldn’t! (I will totally tie him up and fashion a muzzle for him to wear though. I don’t want him getting ideas and nibbling on me during the night…)
But he wouldn’t, he’d think you were his new mama!…Which means you might have to breast feed him! 😯
The rate I’m going, that may not be a problem! 😮
Blimey! 😯
Red Pill. There are seven billion and counting human beings on the planet. There are tragically few orang-utans left in the wild.
Good reasoning (to those of a certain disposition). Go to the top of the class Coggy!
My first degree was in zoology. I love human beings, but I do wish we’d stop breeding quite so enthusiastically.
Hmmm…Coggy, much like our animal friends nearer to home methinks there is similar reason why over breeding is encouraged regardless of all common sense.
Ah. Economics. It is a Dark Art.
There’s probably not that much meat on an abandoned baby orangutan, so perhaps using it as a litmus test for what parts of the jungle are safe to eat would be more productive.
As some old soldiers’ survival guide said: watch the monkeys. Whatever a monkey can eat, you can eat, and failing that, you can always eat the monkey. (OK, an orangutan isn’t a monkey, but hey, we’re all primates here, right?)
Oh now here’s the Bear Grylls answer – interesting! Interesting!
I’ll take the red pill. I have neither the heart nor the stomach to kill small adorable things. Also, I don’t eat lamb. Doesn’t taste very good to me.
Nice one 😉
I want both…. Else, I go with red
Wait, you want to kill the little fella and not kill the little fella?!
Yep…
Like it. 🙂
😉
the nanny state seems to imply the blue pill.
I think I get what you mean…
hard to be a revolutionary/non-conformist with ones hand out.
Lol NS…..I would hope I would pick red 😊
Lol! Hmmm! Not convinced…I see you there blushing! 😀
Oh Ms. Ed, you got me with the picture of the little guy! Can’t do it, I would have to take it with me and keep going. (When I get hungrier down the road I might change my mind…)
-ValS
ROFL! …A bit like a very cute takeaway then? loool!
Red pill. Even if it is a chimp, what if you’re a vegetarian? There are still other things to eat in the jungle and maybe you can find a banana for the little guy
I don’t want to show any bias *whisper* but I’m with you!
I hate lamb – guess I grab the baby o & keep moving forward
Yeeees! 😀
hmmm . . . so many questions . . .
how do we know it’s alone? Is it playing with a bottle of hot sauce?
hmmm . . . when would we ever get another chance to eat THAT?
hmmm . . . OK, reality check. When you’re starving, everything looks like a bearclaw. Screw it, I’m eating the little bleater.
Right?
😉
No! No! No! NS! Looool! You can always make me laugh even if it’s in horror! 😀
