My object oh sublime,
I will achieve in time.
To make the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime.
And make each prisoner pent, unwillingly represent,
A source of innocent merriment, of innocent merriment.

Spambot in the wire! Hit the claymores!
“Matthew Eric Smith, 32, was found dead”
His family was crushed to hear of his death.
Smith exhaustéd his last chance.
His final words were a bit muffled.
Ran outta gas when his plans backfired.
Gotta jack all the puns before Jeff cranks out any.
“Kahihikolo on Kamakaeha Ave. in Kona”
Try to say that three times fast…
Not even. And I was stationed there.
At least he wasn’t in a stolen Kia armed with a K-bar and a Kimber.
I gaze upon the pic of Mz Redhead, and hear the song, “Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress”.
I just wish it was higher resolution, for purely academic reasons
Testify, Tox! Ms Ginger has curves in places where some don’t even have places. And as a nod to -Dog, I freely admit that I purchased certain periodicals, not for the articles, but for the artwork.
Y’all may recall that I made mention of more upcoming FGS that had a “Darwin Rule” aspect. And here we are.
One place that I do agree with the Religion of Pieces is their swift and sure, fitting, punishment.

This does not compute. “Smith, 32, was found dead on Tuesday at approximately 9:15 a.m., after a catalytic converter fell and crushed him”
That is one hell of a big catalytic converter there sparky.
They neglected to mention the “entire rest of the car” part of that convertor
The excerpt was poorly written, and I’m not masochistic enough to read the whole article. I counted three times some form of the word “share” (an odd choice) in the excerpt, and the rest was unclear language. I can’t tell if English is not the writer’s first language, he or she was a terrible student in English class, or the article was written by AI. (Open to the possibility of some weird combination of all three.)
I read the articles so you don’t have to. Welcome to my every day.
Not many places to hide in on the Big Island but if you are gonna try, its the best one to try it on. Spent a few weeks there years ago. Very undeveloped unlike Oahu.
Nice! Swedish K is good, too.
SF and the CIA had quite a few of them in Viet Nam. My operations officer brought one with him when he came from CCN in Da Nang.
