Nothing reminds me more of my German ex-girlfriend than stories of men who have their genitalia severed and cooked, he said, nervously glancing downwards before referring to an old, explanatory post.
Yep, Armin Meiwes, the Kannibalen von Rotenburg is back in court, appealing his sentence of 8 1/2 years for manslaughter after he killed, cooked and ate some guy he’d met on the internet through the popular “slaughter and eat me” singles site. Apparently he wants the sentence reduced to 5 years (I don’t know why, maybe he got indigestion or something), the prosecution on the other hand, wants the sentence extended up to 15 years for “real” murder -they’re tough. Look, don’t ask me how the German legal system works, okay?
I tell you, it really pisses me off. 9 long years I went out with that woman. Every Christmas or Easter I had to sit next to a particular “friend of the family” at a meal and listen to him endlessly talk about his law practice and the latest case of newspaper theft in Braach or whatever petty boring crime was doing the rounds in Rotenburg. And not because everyone knew the English guy was too polite to complain, oh no. Then what happens a month after we split up? He’s the defence attorney for Germany’s most notorious let’s-cut-off-your-penis, grill it, eat it together, then I’ll slaughter you in my bath, chop you up into fair-sized chunks and keep ‘em in the freezer so I can barbecue you all summer long criminal type (and there’s more of them about than you’d think, according to Bild).
Maybe I should attempt a reconcilliation with the German ex and then next Christmas I’ll get to hear all the meaty, juicy details?

Oh Jeez! I initially wrote Armin Grewes, Cannibal. Oh, and it’ll have gone out in the feed to him as well…. Agggh. Sorry.

karma: It’s a very long story…..
Hahaha. I am always up for more posts about the wiener butcher of Rotenburg. I wish you could grill the lawyer just one more time to get the juicy details.
Hey, thanks for the visit and for giving me the url of your new blog!!
I’m gonna add the new link right now
Eeeew!
I imagine that they will reduce this guy’s sentence. This is Germany after all…forgiving, benevolent, and morally superior Germany. Your “friend of the family” is a tool of that good German morality. And let’s not forget that Armin didn’t force this guy to become his next meal. There was a mutual understanding.
As for the reconciliation thing…well, first of all, better hope your ex doesn’t read your blog, and own a set of razor-sharp butcher knifes. But… hey…go for it. You can get the inside scoop. This might be your chance to become the British version of Matt Drudge.
I dont know if this is relevent or not but try this, look in the yellow pages for,

hahaha!
shame about him taking on an interesting (disgusting) case after 9 years. i’m all for you getting back together with the ex, to get more details, although this year, you would probably have to fight for that seat next to him. or actually, dont do it - imagine how you’d feel if he goes on about his other boring cases instead of this one! aaargh!
