Haha, LOL, I totally get it, but can someone explain it to my friend? He doesn't get it.

The Donner party were a group on the Oregon trail that got stuck on a mountain pass in the winter and resorted to cannibalism to survive. The Dollup did a really good podcast episode about it.

Also the cafe in the University of Colorado UMC is named "The Alfred Packer Gill". Alfred Packer was a similar famed cannibal.

I don’t see what the big deal is. I always have people at that picnic ground to eat.

What's this about? Donner means thunder in German but I've also seen Brits use it for misspelling Döner (Kebab).

A group of american settlers got stuck there in winter and did some cannibalism to survive. I watched a YouTube "documentary" once.

Uh, yeah, that sounds like an amazing site for a picknick, why not ...
