So who would you kill if they stood between you and a good barbecue?

( it's almost like you guys haven't thought about what terminal means)

I don't think that terminal goal means that it's the highest priority here, just that there is no particular reason to achieve it other than the experience of attaining that goal. So eating barbecue isn't about nutrition or socializing, it's just about eating barbecue.
