Hummus is SO cheap and easy to make. I'm amazed at hummus prices in stores when I can whip up 10 times as much, and fresher, for the same price.

/Garbanzos are really cheap, tahini goes a long way, and I roast garlic with red peppers in olive oil for the flavor.
//Squueze a lemon with more olive oil into the food processor with sea salt and pepper and... goodness.

I put a dollop of yogurt in too. Creamy, garlicky goodness.

And you can control how much arm you put in it.

Don't they have lock-out tag-out procedures just to prevent this kind of thing?

Over in 3, 4 and 5.

You, sir, win two internets.

Memo to self: Don't do the hokey-pokey around industrial food processing equipment.

/You put your left arm in... ah, crap.

Good thing he didn't go in groin first 'cuz if he was uncircumcised the whole plant would have to be re Koshered.

If you want a double dose of irony, chickpea has a better protein profile than starving human.

A true Christmas miracle! Rejoicing as proof has been delivered!!

Obviously, you remember those OSHA videos from when you joined the company.

Like the one about forklift safety. (new window)

So, if you grind up a person's arm into the hummus, does it become trayf?

"Auger" sounds a-lot worse than "grinder" for some reason...

CSB,

Way back when, I used to work at the local Regional Grocery Store with highschool buddies; one of which worked in the meat dept. He had this great idea one day and called me over to help out. He was cleaning out the meat grinder of all the gristle and tendons that get caught in the auger when he decided that he wanted to freak out our 3rd key manager. So he pulled his arm back through his sleeve and I helped jam this stuff back into his sleeve and he positioned himself over the grinder to hide this mess. I called the 3rd key over saying we needed her help, but not making it so urgent sounding to arrouse a panic.

I get her into the Meat Dept work area where my friend had his back to us. I tell her, "I don't know what's wrong; he wouldn't let me get close." She yells over to him, "You OK?" He says grunting, "Yeah .... I .... just .... about .... got this" while making tugging motions between each word then finally 'breaking free' when he "got this". It was an amazing sight; he whips around and where his arm should have been was this tangled, gruesome mess of ground beef and tendons with little bits falling off and being flung around the room. No screeming, no indication of pain at all.

She damn near passed out. Then she damn near kicked our asses.

bought 2 different flavors of hummus months ago, the wife says she likes that crap.

been sitting in the fridge ever since, untouched. and she has the bells to tell me i'm wasteful. i should have killed that passive-aggressive coont years ago, i woulda been out by now.

Bookmarked for when the police come a-knockin'. We can all say we were there at the beginning and that we saw your steady slide into madness played out on the Internets.

I thought of this place that also had a grinder:

So, eat it. It's food.

clancifer: That's how I want to go.

Yup, or getting caught in the gears of a combine or having your nuts bit off by a Laplander.

Waiting for 'Fargo' reference.

/will then leave satisfied

Did you hear about the butcher who backed into the meat grinder?

He got a little behind in his work.

/I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

Grind up everybody
Everybody grind up
Grind up up up Guppies!
Auger Auger get in the Auger
Grind up Bubble Guppies!

Others call it the mangler

If he backed into a glass grinder he would have made a spectacle of himself.

I don't even care about the article, this thread has been worth it.

Apparently no one knows how to apply a tourniquet

/ I call it a kaiser blade

Came for the Sling Blade references, leaving happy.

TyrantII: Apparently no one knows how to apply a tourniquet

FTFA: ...they are still investigating, 'as we would any unattended death.'

Apparently he was alone when it happened and also was unable to find and apply a tourniquet with one hand while rapidly losing blood from where his other hand used to be. What a wuss.

Seriously though, a grinder/auger type machine would not provide a very clean cut. He would have been bleeding out way faster than if he was using a chopper/slicer. Considering his first instinct was probably to pull his arm out of the machine there probably would not be enough time to get a tourniquet on.
