OH! I mistook the point of this thread...sorry. |
| Danielle Posts: 4294/6737 |
What did I just say? Make a thread in Officer's Club, don't post offtopic in this thread, your friend's mom has nothing to do with inventions. |
| Billiards Koopa Posts: 113/174 |
Life isn't getting me down, I'm just worried about my friend's mom...and my friend. My friend's dad's a jackass. |
| Danielle Posts: 4293/6737 |
...I can surely tell you that it doesn't belong in this thread.  |
| Skreename Posts: 1010/1427 |
Actually, I think that would fit in Officer's Club. Under the whole "Life getting you down?" description that may or may not have been attached to it some time in the past. |

There it is. I wanted to make a thread about how my best friend's mom might have lung cancer and I'm scared for her, but bitching is removed from the forum and I wasn't sure if it went under General Chat. |

Well there is a bit in the constitution about "cruel and unusual punishment". And I get the feeling that tar and feathering is exactly what the guy who came up with that phrase had in mind. The tar is cruel, the feathers are unusual. Stupid constitution. Oh well, I guess its vigilante justice then. Now I just have to find a tar wholesaler that doesn't ask alot of questions.
I have another non-threadworthy thought: Has anyone else seen that commercial for the Red Cross where the make the barber cut that guy's neck? If so, isn't it the most horrifying commercial you've ever seen? Also, where's my penny? |

Well, do it to child rapists, kiddy porno makers, etc... That would teach them a lesson!  |

Pouring burning hot tar on someone probably falls under assault. I agree that it should be legalized though. |
| Sukasa Posts: 869/2068 |
I think it's outlawed by a blanket statement, something against capital punishment, or else something along those lines.
Or, maybe it IS allowed. Who knows? (not me.  ) |
| Sabishii Posts: 26/60 |
A plausible idea, but is tarring and feathering still legal? I've never heard of any laws against it  |

Track them down? They're on TV, how hard could it be to find them? I'd start by going to the address they say to mail the checks to. |
| Skreename Posts: 820/1427 |
Well... We'd have to be able to track those people down. Otherwise, it's hard to manage to actually, you know, punish them. |
| emcee Posts: 432/867 |
Well we still need to bring it back. Back in the 1800's people used to go town to town selling bottles of useless "medicine" that could cure anything from arthritis to TB, but then they had to get out of town before people caught on and had them tar and feathered. We don't do that anymore, so now people can sell the same stuff on TV. |
| Sukasa Posts: 859/2068 |
Ouch. That would hurt. And yes, the feathers were just for embarassing the poor sucker who got tarred. |
| emcee Posts: 431/867 |
I was watching an infomercial a while back, and it occurred to me that we oughta bring back tar and feathering.
That also made think about tar and feathering, I was wondering what the feathers are for. But then I figured it was probably just to add insult to injury. Not only are your pores clogged and you're covered with burns, but you also look like a duck. Yeah, that wasn't thread-worthy. |

I wanted to make a ROM hack of Earthbound a while back with a more SF feel to it. I think this summer I'm going to actually do it. |

All the time. I discuss them with friends, though... |

I find mildly amusing how the last reply list for the Help/Suggestions forum looks, at least for the first 8 topics (counting sticky). (random user), Danielle, (random user), Danielle, etc.
I'm easily amused. |
