An easier and fun one might be a land-line phone call to my sister from Alaska to the midwest, circa the 90's. Normal: "Hey hows it going?" "Good, what's up with you?" From AK: "Hey how's it going?" 6 beats..... "Good what's up with you?"

Two cops, with revolvers, have killed or badly wounded 5 of the 7 thieves. That would take about 23 cops with 17-round magazines and about 200 rounds to accomplish these days.

The Wu Ming Foundation has you covered:book only avilable in Italian unfortunately posted:Clockwork Orange Duck. A kind of sequel to Rats and Blood, but you can also read this first. Due to the names "Carl Barks" and "Karl Marx" being almost identical, Duckburg's social system short-circuits. Donald Duck gets class conscious and aware of the exploitation he suffers at the hands of both Uncle Scrooge (within the boundaries of the cartoon) and the Disney corporate bosses. The only way to cope with the situation is by launching the armed struggle for the liberation of Duckburg and the whole cartoon world. A gruesome tale of revenge and ultraviolence.

tangy yet delightful posted:Death by orca would be loving rad though. You'd probably get posted in this thread. I once saw a documentary that showed an orca torturing ("playing with," the doco called it) a seal pup for over an hour before it eventually got bored and killed it. Didn't even eat it afterwards. "Rad" is really not the word I'd use.

Didn't even eat it afterwards. Given they don't have the sense of morality that we have, then "playing with" is fine. Why would they give a poo poo about their food anyway? Also that was an old BBC documentary, a David Attenborough one. They're pretty good at being impassionate about nature like that. Kid me did find the seal pup being batted back and forward by Orcas as it slowly disintegrated somewhat upsetting though, I'll give you that.

But I was inferring what would happen if a human were to be killed by an orca in the wild, so I think from a human perspective, "torture" is an appropriate term.

They're pretty nasty to the humans they get in captivity, so it's not hard to imagine what a wild orca could do to a person.
