Was he sodomized in a crossfire? :unsure:

Non-standard ammunition in one of the RPGs I guess.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't think that there was a Chrysler product involved at all.

The Institution sucks.
And Victor Matus has no idea how to write concise and persuasive arguments.

You're one of the old fucks who doesn't know Hoover is an anglicism for Vacuum Cleaner. You also didn't read the article, it doesn't argue for anything, it summarizes what regular practice for dealing with dead dictators is.

The article needs an update for the new contemporary method: "sodomized on a cell phone camera and then shot in the head."
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

:huh:  You are one of the ignorant fucks who doesn't know that "to hoover" has meant "to vacuum" for many years in the US.  My grandmother used that phrase almost exclusively.  The Hoover corporation is, in fact, an American company.  One of its first slogans was "A Hoovered home is as clean as it looks."  I'd suggest that you get off your high fucking horse and not try to tell Americans what their slang is.

QuoteYou also didn't read the article, it doesn't argue for anything, it summarizes what regular practice for dealing with dead dictators is.
I sure didn't read the entire thing, because it was long-winded and got off its point almost immediately.  He is arguing that he can answer the question he asks: "But which methods [of dealing with an ex-dictator's body] have successfully closed dark chapters in history and which ones have led to public embarrassment or worse?"  Didn't you read your own fucking boring article?

My point stands:  the guy cannot write concisely or stick to his point.

Joe Chrysler practically invented the genre, though Gary Gygax got the credit.

Anglicism? WTF?

It's archaic American slang. If the Brits picked it up from us and still use it that's one thing, but don't act like Americans have never run into it.

Is that thing really not concise?  Serious question, that shit was way too long for me to read.

They make (or rather, made) crossfires.
