Good god; you guys should take his Yankee ass and boil it in the Tower
dungeon. When I saw over there I actually took a tour of the London Dungeon,
whatwith all of the reenactments of boilings, draw-and-quarterings,
stretchings, etc etc. It''ll plant all kinds of ideas in your head depending
on how many enemies you have in this world <g>.
Anyway, things aren't all that much better over here with all the
closings of independent video outlets and the effective banning of "Lolita"
and "Last Temptation of Christ" through sudden mysterious fire code-violations
and "Hollywood distribution fears", etc.. There's a lot of scared and small-
minded folk in this world.
But I'm serious-you guys oughta just fry that so-called American
assmunch. You have my permission.
