Brilliant, thanks!

I remember reading this as a short story not too long ago and this is a premise I'd like to see explored further, maybe as a prequel showing the excited alien researchers finding another sentient species and only slowly working out that it's a burger.

Of course, the thought occurs, were these aliens in any way like humans, they wouldn't expunge the records and walk away. They'd try to work out how to make the meat work for them to control their machines and do menial labor.

Let's meet the meat!

Initially I thought it was going to be a discussion on boobs, so naturally I am disappointed.

But the boobs, they're all made out of MEAT.

They're meat all the way through; We probed them.

I'd probe some meaty boobs.

Ok, cold shower...

Nicely done. Has that odd student film project feel to it.

This is good

They do have meat heads.

They talk by flapping their meat at each other.

This made me smile despite my aching meat.

Followed the credits to THIS. Click on Meat on the right for the short story version (though more a vignette in my view).

Thank you Jaegermeat

This thread makes me want to become vegan. Yet THE BBQ THREAD makes me want to become a straight up carnivore. I'm so conflicted.

Fear not: once I get the big smoker done, I'll also grill more veggies. (Ya know, since I'll have one grill for smoking, and the kettle grill for grilling.)

Come to think of it, here's one for the meat vs. veggie debate.
Did vegetables ever write symphonies, fly to the moon or discover black holes?
Hell no, meat did that!
So I'll stick with meat.

I can sing by squirting air through my meat.

Terry Bisson, circa 1990. Cool that someone made a video of his short story. I've been giggling over this since I was in high school!
