Slaughter? nay young one, we do not slaughter, killing for the sake of killing is evil, we sacrifice for greater good.

We sacrifice whom the blood good as anointed, of course.

All I have to say is there was no such thing as global warming while we were sacrificing virgins to the Sun god.

That's why I'm gonna invent a drunken hat. Offers hard hat protection, and has a small canister of fire extinguisher on it.

When someone's getting a little too drunk, make them wear that, and see them try to balance that heavy hat on their head.

It's entertaining, and you can make sure that they will be fine when they fell into a fire.

SI may be superior in every way for most purposes, but I maintain that Farenheit is the superior temperature scale for daily use.

And I will not be hearing anything to the contrary!

I would guess it is due to the fact throwing bullets would not do much, shooting them from a gun however...

PSA: don't try and shoot the president, from personal experience I can tell you it will not go well.

Yeah but in my defense it was just a prank. I did not realize Jackson was that crazy.

A symbolic gesture like literally chucking loaded jackets at the walking toupee would have really been the least I'd have expected well before now just on account of raw cynicism, had I really and truly comprehended just how much of an idiot he is at first.
