Hmmm...I think I'll watch Lord of the Rings before facing the firing squad.

If he had been reciting the alphabet, would that have been reported?

[Richard J. Johnson]

Not a bad choice for the last films you'll ever see.

 

[Batutta]

They should make him watch a Uwe Boll marathon, then he'd be glad to die.

 

[Rick Meyer]

firing squad?:huh:

 

[Terry_Lasater]

It was his choice.

 

[Mike Harvey]

And yes, Utah still has the firing squad.

 

[Rick Meyer]

And yes, Utah still has the firing squad.

Yeah, I just read that. Utah and Oklahoma. Learn something new all the time. Better not F up Terry Lasater, I guess.

 

[Alex H.]

And yes, Utah still has the firing squad.

Sort of. In 2004, lethal injection was adopted as the default for Utah. Gardner got to choose because he was convicted prior to the change in the law.

 

[Sad Max]

I know Tolkien fans for whom the choice between watch Lord of the Rings and firing squad would require at least a moment's thought.

 

[Terry_Lasater]

The original post opened the can of worms.

 

[Sad Max]

Yeah. Discussions of Peter Jackson's work are usually political tinder-piles waiting to be ignited...

 

[Terry_Lasater]

Funny, I suppose, but you can't ignore the political undertones of an execution and the potential for it's debate.

 

[Sad Max]

Sure you can. If you don't want yer thread locked.

 

[Luis Caffesse]

Sure you can. If you don't want yer thread locked.

Exactly.
:thumbsup:

 

[Sad Max]

See, the mod-dust you sprinkled on me is working already...


at least I *hope* that was mod-dust...

 

[mikkowilson]

That wasn't mod dust.

[Sad Max]

Well, that would explain the itching and rash.

 

[Terry_Lasater]

It ain't my thread, but there's no doubt a tightrope has to be walked.

 

[CallaghanFilms]

I would go out with Butch Cassidy...

 

[Sad Max]

...or perhaps Bonnie and Clyde...
