*kidnaps you and takes you to his basement
- ties you up on the bondage bed
- slowly pierces your left eye with a sharp pencil
- sodomizes you daily with for a week with increasingly large and sharp objects and records all of the screaming
- leaves you to starve to death after that while playing your screaming and pleading for mercy back to you on a loop*

Last time I bested someone's torture tactics. Problem is a mod actually locked the thread due to the extreme visualization of my post. ;) It involves cutting off eyelids and positioning one's head toward the sun and lots and lots of spiders and ants.

Yeah I got lazy and just wanted to get the post done quickly.
Start a torture thread in spamland and we can out torture each other there. I bet lots of people would love to get involved in that thread. Sick bastards.

I watched The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad. So I didn't remember which show it came from.
Though I thought you were right when you said Family Guy at first.

Although I can get a laugh or two from American Dad and get the obscure political jokes, I just don't really enjoy it. It's like they are trying too hard or something.
And as for he quote I only remembered because I remember Smithers saying "Done and done" after Burns said that.
(Is it, really? :D)
I think it is a fairly safe conclusion to reach when you head up the directories and find out that the chap that runs it likes to sleep in one of his many straitjackets.
It seems rather boring and stale like a saltine.I love saltines.
Especially the 12-grain or whole-wheat ones.

Top Ten Good Things About Peace
10. You don't have to worry about being shot by the police on your way to work.
That depends. There have been parts of America where that wasn't true a mere ten or fifteen years ago. The city of Worcester, in MA, for example, had to institute a citizens review board, after a couple of police officers beat a kid (school age) to death, when he resisted being robbed.
9. You don't have to worry about a plane flying into your office while you're at work.
A number of deaths in New York a couple years ago might disagree.
8. You don't have to worry that some dictator might decide that the demographic you belong to is not fit to breath the same air as the rest of humanity.
Not if you live in Africa.
7. You don't have to worry about stepping on a land mine while hiking through the woods.
Unless you live in the middle-east, parts of Russia or Europe, or Yugoslavia, none of which have been sufficiently de-landmined.
6. You don't have to worry about your house being expropriated as part of the war effort.
No, now it can be taken for a new Wal-Mart instead.
5. You don't have to worry about your ass being expropriated as part of the war effort.
Unless you live in, say, Israel, where military service is mandatory.
4. You don't have to worry about the side effects of chemicals that are being used to defoliate the trees in your country.
Sure you do. It's just corporations that are dumping them, not armies.
3. You don't have to worry about opening your mail and inhaling some deadly disease.
Supposedly you do, but I can't prove that one.
2. You don't have to worry that some insane Texan who thinks he's on a mission from God is going to reach for a shiny red button.
You undoubtedly have already formulated an opinion regarding this one, so I will decline to comment, but I suspect we would agree.
1. You don't have to worry about opening your front door and seeing this... :mp5:
No, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and NSA, all use the M4.
Don't worry be happy.

On-topic, anyway, if we all got along, we would all die from boredom. Mankind cannot go forward without senselessly killing itself in teh process, breeding like flies, and then killing itself off again.

Is the city of Worcester in the U.S.? When was the last time the U.S. was at peace with itself or anyone else for that matter?
9. You don't have to worry about a plane flying into your office while you're at work.
A number of deaths in New York a couple years ago might disagree.
So flying planes into the WTTowers and the Pentagon was not an act of war? You know what war is right? The opposite of peace.
8. You don't have to worry that some dictator might decide that the demographic you belong to is not fit to breath the same air as the rest of humanity.
Not if you live in Africa.
Or Europe, or the Americas.
7. You don't have to worry about stepping on a land mine while hiking through the woods.
Unless you live in the middle-east, parts of Russia or Europe, or Yugoslavia, none of which have been sufficiently de-landmined.
Or Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, etc...
6. You don't have to worry about your house being expropriated as part of the war effort.
No, now it can be taken for a new Wal-Mart instead.
Economic Warfare... but I don't think you want to get me started on that.
5. You don't have to worry about your ass being expropriated as part of the war effort.
Unless you live in, say, Israel, where military service is mandatory.
Isn't Isreal at war? Again the opposite of peace.
4. You don't have to worry about the side effects of chemicals that are being used to defoliate the trees in your country.
Sure you do. It's just corporations that are dumping them, not armies.
Plenty of armies are dumping defoliants. ie. PLAN COLOMBIA (the U.S. solution to U.S. drug addiction.)
3. You don't have to worry about opening your mail and inhaling some deadly disease.
Supposedly you do, but I can't prove that one.
Again, read the title: Top Ten Good Things About Peace
2. You don't have to worry that some insane Texan who thinks he's on a mission from God is going to reach for a shiny red button.
You undoubtedly have already formulated an opinion regarding this one, so I will decline to comment, but I suspect we would agree.
Finally, I think you're beginning to get it.
1. You don't have to worry about opening your front door and seeing this... :mp5:
No, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and NSA, all use the M4.
And all this time I thought they were Uzis.
Don't worry be happy.
The last line is entirely sarcastic by the way.
From a selfish point of view, it reduces the chances of me dying, which I like.
The chances of you dying are 100%. It's how you live that's the issue.
On-topic, anyway, if we all got along, we would all die from boredom. Mankind cannot go forward without senselessly killing itself in teh process, breeding like flies, and then killing itself off again.
Where are you located right now? I take the location listed next to your post is a description of your state of mind more than a physical reality but, if you are not currently in a war zone, go to one. There are several around the world to choose from and I would hate for you to die from boredom. ;)

OMFG How did I miss this one? I never heard that. Bush actually said he's been to war? Where is the so called liberal media on this one? Why aren't vets outraged at this?
