Ericka1012 | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 01:52 pm     Marcy has quit eating since the were all put on PB&J...he is only taking vitamins and over sugared coffee with cream...When do you all think his body will say enough is enough...He just mentioned that he wants a hospital visit... |
Jan | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 01:56 pm     well those miners lasted 3 days with pretty well nothing so I guess he can last 7 days. In fact, I think you can medically last 10 days without food ( and that would be no nutrition but water..he is getting vitamins and sugar)..he is good for the duration of the show I bet. I once went on that lemon cleansing diet ...no solid food for 10 days. Only lemonade with mollases..some recipe like that..and I had no problem at all. |
Lyn | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:00 pm     Someone is just looking for attention (surprise) and will take it any way he can. I really wish the hgs would just ignore Marcellas when he acts up like this |
Battlestar | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:02 pm     As long as he's drinking liquids he is in no medical danger. But maybe cause P&J is the food they are suppose to eat this week---wouldn't it be nice if BB3 would give him a penalty nomination But it sure won't help him any for the HOH competition, if he stays in the house |
Crossfire | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:05 pm     You can be sure that the moment Marc pulled this, ASP got on the horn to a doctor to find out what they would be dealing with, and are probably at this moment rolling around on the floor in the studio laughing at him. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:06 pm     The more he does things like this the less the jury will like him. |
Twiggyish | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:10 pm     Lyn, I think you're right. If anything, it further gives them justification to evict. They'll figure out he needs medical attention. I wonder what a mental health professional would say about this behavior? |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:12 pm     He is now putting Gerry down again. |
What555456 | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:57 pm     Now, with Marcellus deciding not to eat until there is decent food, if the others decide the same thing, could we be possibly watching the beginning of the end of this season of BB. Kind of a Donner Party end as they each look over the others wondering what would be better -- PB&J for another day, or.... roasted Amy. |
Maris | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:58 pm     I agree, medical intervention now. Tell Marcellas he needs i.v. feeding, take him out in a straightjacket. |
Ericka1012 | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 02:59 pm     What555456 LOL...your so right...at least we'd have some entertainment... |
Meggieprice | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:03 pm     Seems like, after his pride causes him not to veto himself, he is giving Jason a perfect tie breaker reason "I am very concerned about your health and this will ensure that you get medical care". BTW I am joking mostly and this is not what I want to happen as I want things mixin' up and Marc to stay and keep things not so predictable... |
Costacat | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:35 pm     There's actually already a big old long thread on this: Marcellus Is On A Hunger Strike? Maybe the mods can close this thread out? |
Rissa | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:37 pm     I had to answer this once for a science class. Turns out you can last a fairly long time without food (esp. since he is getting vitamins) but not long at all without water (matter of days). I was surprised actually at how long it is... roundabout a month!!! So all Marc is doing is making himself miserable and giving us a good laugh at his expense. I think this is just his way of imploding about being on the block again, would be willing to bet that if he hadn't have been nominated, he would be scarffing down the PB&J without complaint. |
Wiseolowl | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:40 pm     He'll be just fine. It's a ploy , it's being done to give him TV exposure - just let him do his thing and ignore him. He doesn't even deserve time on this board - let's not do him the favour of giving him a CNN moment. |
Trulyscrumtious | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:45 pm     Excuse my ignorance, but what the frick is a 'Donner Party'?  |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:48 pm     Truly - the Donner Party was a group of pioneers in the late 1800's who left Springfield, Illinois to head to California. Most of them wound up stranded through a vicious winter in the high Sierra Madres (I think that was the range) and resorted to eating the corpses of their deceased fellow pioneers in order to survive. The ones who did survive wound up being shunned for the rest of the lives when people found out what had happened. |
Wadsters | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:49 pm     Donner...party of one...your table is ready... |
Kapow | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:51 pm     Trulyscrumptious.....with a name like yours, you better WATCH OUT!!! LOL |
Twnkltz425 | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:52 pm     Crisis over...Marci is going to eat a "scoop of peanut butter"...but which kind Creamy or Chunky...and it's chunky |
Letmeinthere | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:53 pm     Bobby Sands, an Irish prisoner, lasted 65 days on a hunger strike. I'm sure Marc will last till the next food competition. LOL. Don't know if the rest of the HG's will though - figuring they have to deal with his drama of having to eat PB&J. |
Rissa | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:54 pm     LOL Truly. The Donner party was 80 some odd people who were heading from Illinois to California in the 1800's. THey got stuck in the mountians in winter and long story short a small group of them decide to finish the trip and the rest stayed behind and some were canibalized to feed the others. Ahh yup, just looked it up.. says 47 out of the original 87 survived including 7 who made it to California. |
Willsfan | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:54 pm     Donner Party = Freezing weather, a blocked mountain pass, no way out. They ate the dead. They tried not to eat their relatives. True Story. |
Kapow | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 03:58 pm     I know this is off topic, but.... There is a good book out there about the voyage, called Snow Mountain Passage. It neither sensationalizes nor villifies the cannabalism. An interesting read if you are into historical fiction. |
Trulyscrumtious | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 04:04 pm     Thanks for the info guys. Being Canadian, all I know of American History I've learnt from movies. If there ain't a movie made about it, I'm clueless, lol. Kapow... ...LOL! |
