Yeah I thought that. Just not worth it, in political terms. Like taking Thatcher out after she's left Downing Street. A) what does it achieve (if you expect it to get you something)? and B) who cares? They're yesterday's news, soon forgotten and most likely all you'll do is piss off the current holder of the office. Not only that, you may (if you fail to kill them) inadvertently give them free publicity they would never otherwise have had at that stage of their life. Let them fade into obscurity.

What if it's a lingering death though?

Trollheart 05-25-2022 08:54 PM

Who's gonna bother with that? Unless you're talking poison, and sit back in safety and watch from a distance, for a lingering death (I mean, I assume you mean like torture?) you'd have to secure them, keep them there, wait for the death to occur. So much hassle. If you're gonna do it, bullet in the head, knife across the throat Jesus I've become a violent little ****er haven't I? :yikes: I blame you guys.

Chain Margaret Thatcher to a radiator in a basement and send one finger, toe, ear, hand, foot, etc to the BBC until you run out of Marge. I thought that was obvious.

SGR 05-26-2022 09:38 AM

The problem with chaining people up in the basement, slowly dismembering them, and sending it in a parcel is that you eventually run out of other peoples' body parts - The Iron Snatch

Yeah I got that, but what has that to do with "based"? That still makes no sense. Based on what? Based at what?

Explaining to Trollheart what "based" means is my proudest moment on this forum.

Man I gotta watch that movie again. I think I was too young to appreciate what a brilliantly performative laugh that is.

SGR 05-26-2022 07:48 PM

One of my all time favorite movies. RIP Ray.

It wasn't just the laugh though, it was the context of the whole scene. Pesci was great in the movie.

God damn, yeah I think I would have been too young and dumb to pick up on all the bravado masking fragile egos that actually make them all look pathetic.

Queen Boo 05-28-2022 12:10 AM

Joe Pesci did Goodfellas and Home Alone in the same year, that's what you call range.

jwb 05-28-2022 12:48 PM

Joe pesci plays pretty much the same character in casino that he does in Goodfellas. Other than that what the **** else? My cousin Vinny?

The Batlord 05-28-2022 01:15 PM

He's the same character in Home Alone tbh.

jwb 05-28-2022 01:47 PM

Lol now that's just typecasting him based on his looks. Tommy from Goodfellas would've wacked that kid within the first 15 minutes of the movie.

The Batlord 05-28-2022 02:22 PM

In the context of a children's movie (duh) it's the same character.

jwb 05-28-2022 02:36 PM

I don't remember that movie that well since i saw it as a kid

What are the similarities other than it being Joe pesci playing a criminal? From what i remember the home alone guy wasn't even a mobster he was some bum type petty criminal with a gold tooth.

The Batlord 05-28-2022 02:40 PM

Bro you mad? It's Joe Pesci he does his thing.

Not really, like yeah they're both criminals, but in Home Alone he's a low level criminal who is so incompetent he barely poses a threat to anyone, he gets his ass handed to him by an 8 year old.

Meanwhile in Goodfellas he's a murderous psychopath who is scary effective at his job which is whacking people and only gets whacked himself because his hair-trigger temper got him into trouble.

Also one is a PG rated kids movie and the other is an R rated gangster movie so there's a bit of a difference in tone.

Norg 06-01-2022 09:12 PM

so if u hit it big in Cypto why cant u just cash out into USD ..?????


say u made 400K in cypto can u just cash out ..???? or does it not work that way

jwb 06-01-2022 11:26 PM

It doesn't work that way. The only way to cash out is in child porn.

Frownland 06-07-2022 06:27 PM

Overweight people lost 35 to 52 pounds on newly approved diabetes drug, study says

Weird way to spin a common side effect of shitting your brains out.

Trollheart 06-07-2022 06:57 PM

True. The French had a great way to lose extra pounds in the eighteenth century, and you didn't have to go on a diet at all!

The Batlord 06-07-2022 07:32 PM

Yeah there were a lot of famines in Revolutionary France.

Trollheart 06-07-2022 08:49 PM

No need to lose your head over it. Gill, a teen, was well known for that. Local blade, he was, very sharp. Required some Assembly.

jwb 06-07-2022 09:44 PM

booooooooo

Guy is a French name that actually rhymes with ghee.

Trollheart 06-08-2022 05:08 AM

Always have to go one better, don't you? :( Cutting me down, making me feel smaller, chopping and changing... what's t'reason, eh? It's not that you want the same robes Pierre wears is it? Oh, the terror!

The Batlord 06-08-2022 06:26 AM

Our political "left" and "right" come from which side of the French National Assembly a delegate sat at the beginning of the French Revolution.

jwb 06-08-2022 11:51 AM

Batlord coming in with popsicle stick fun facts he can try to disguise as him having read a history book.

The Batlord 06-08-2022 04:32 PM

Imagine if the assassin was successful and Biden got to name the guy that replaced him?

Trollheart 06-08-2022 09:01 PM

Imagine if Biden was behind the hit?
