Somebody should catch the guy and make his life even more pathetic.

I rarely entertain thoughts of revenge. It's enough for me to think about how
pathetic this guy's life is, going around breaking into people's houses and
stealing stuff.

Nowadays I think they just put the varmints into the big house. Big
White house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, that is.

wouldn't it take more rope to draw and quarter? that's where you attach
each limb to a horse and pull the hapless victim apart, correct? did the
english pull out the intestines before or after drawing and quartering?
endless possibilities here.


"Drawing" _is_ removal of the viscera.

I don't think they particularly cared if they got the right guy
either, as long as there was an example to keep the peons in line.


And that changed when?

"Hang 'em High" was good, but the "The Ox-Bow Incident" had me wringing out my handkerchief.
But it was made a generation earlier.

After 21 years of living in the same Takoma Park
bungalow, I regret to report that I have experienced
my first burglary -- a burglary that targeted just
one item: the Panasonic Pro-Touring road bicycle that


was it locked? i know 10 people that had bikes stolen from gargages &
such for every one stolen in use (typ bike rack).
from an old gardening magazine to secure power tools: embed a length
of chain in a bucket of concrete. i figure the ubiquitous five gallon
bucket (19-l) w/ concrete will weight about 100-lbs (45-kgm).

Sort of like Guantanamo Bay under
the Talibush, I would imagine ...


Heh, heh, heh. :^)
