famous people you'd like to hit, and what you'd like to use to hit them.

Pretty straight-forward. Caveats, no relatives, or people you don't like in high school. This has to be someone considered in the main stream, someone that most people would recognize. After all, there are enough annoying people out there that fit this bill, why not focus your wrath on them? this isn't a thread to describe how you would kill them. If they die as a result, well, that's the breaks. (GUFFAW!) No, I'm just looking to make someone hurt, and I want them to know why they deserved it.

I also thought about how I might want to hit 2 people with two different items. So, if you want to use a baseball bat for your entire line-up, no problem. But if you want to bring out a shovel for someone special, let us know!

The inspiration for this thread was the pompous Bryant "bitch tits" Gumbel. For those that know him, you might understand.


So I bring you my list:

Bryant "Bitch Tits" Gumbel - I would like to smack him in the jaw with an aluminum bat, just to make sure he would feel it. Then I'd take that yellow legal pad and pen he writes with on his HBO Real Sports show and shove them up his ass.

Tiger Woods - I'd like to take a 3 wood to his skull to try to knock him back into whatever zone his former wife knocked him out of. He will most likely not break Nicklaus' record because of a holiday squabble/smackdown by his beautiful wife over his habit of being nut-deep in random pussy.

Sarah Jessica Parker - I think a metal rake to the face would be appropriate. Then, we could end the discussion about how "pretty", "beautiful" and "stunning" she is, when in fact, she is not. I believe Peter Griffin referred to her as having a face like a foot. That's being generous in my book.

James Carvelle - A large aerosol can of professional grade insect chemicals, so I could knock that bug-faced bastard back into the termite mound he escaped from.

Tim McCarver - A nice 34/34 Louisville Slugger to fracture his jaw, requiring wiring to hold it together for 6 weeks or so. Every fall, right before the baseball playoffs, so America can be spared his announcing.

Steve Harvey. I would bash his face in with a fire extinguisher until there was nothing left except a pulpy mash and a mustache. Then I would spray some foam on the mustache and drop the extinguisher on his nuts. Man. I can't even remember hating anyone else ever. All of my hate is solely for him.

Kanye West because he's not just arrogant like all rappers are, but he has this special way of just assuming that everyone just cares so much about everything about him, and he was like that before he even got big. Like his interrupting awards shows more than once, how he made the fact that he once dropped out of college this big gimmick (who the fuck cares? it's not like that's interesting or unusual), etc. Just STFU dude.

I'd hit him with a big gold chain.

Gwyneth Paltrow - I don't actually want to hit her myself, but I'd probably watch a video of someone hitting her with something not too damaging - just enough to wipe the smug off her face.

Ann Romney. I'd use a toilet brush.

She's probably never seen one up close.

Tucker Carlson. I know he's not around much anymore but I'd still like to wipe his face with a rusty Brillo pad. To get rid of that goddamn smirk. Fuckin' douchebag.

Well, since Stink Fish Pot has taken care of Tim McCarver for me, apparently I am left with no one to hate on. Well, except for all the idiots running for office this year, but I haven't paid them enough attention to know their names. But I would like to hit them all with a ballot box. The sharp pointy part.

I thought this very thing before even clicking on the thread. Well, not this person in particular. At any rate, I was prepared to make the quip if someone else hadn't seized the opportunity yet.

I would like to hold Cody "I don't wear shoes because i am an idiot" Lundin for you. That guy is a tool. I think he's a great choice for a pummeling.

I'll hit her and film it for you -- and I'll throw in her husband for free. I think slapping them with a nice bloody steak would be appropriate.

I would also like to bludgeon Tom Cruise with a hardback copy of the DSM-IV.

My weapon of choice is a dildo. My victim would be any celebrity who flaunts their alleged virginity. My specific victim is Brooke Shields (although the virginity ship has long sailed). I cannot forgive her smug prissy little "pretty girl" act. Plus, deep down inside, I think she's a tranny and was interpreting "sex" the same way Bill Clinton did.

Noam Chompsky - He just seems like the worst version of a leftist dick that I can imagine. I probably could hit him if I wanted to. He lives fairly close by and is very old now.

Nancy Grace - I'd like to hit her with a gravel truck, then dump the full load of gravel on her face. If that's too harsh for this thread, then I'll opt for shooting her in the face with a bazooka full of gravel.

Melissa Gilbert with a full wine bottle because I wasted too much time reading her ridiculous memoir in the vain hope it would get better.

Any of these dumb little starlets who drink and drive (Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan etc.). With a bigger wine bottle.

I'm not a violent person so a wine bottle's a big deal for me.

Guy Fieri, with a bottle of that hair bleach he uses; or anything to knock those stupid sunglasses off the back of his head.

This makes me sad. I always like reading your posts, and my opinion of you (as a good poster) hasn't changed, but .... Chomsky? What would you hit him with?

If you must, hit him, very gently, with a copy of Transformational Grammar. He'll probably laugh and say he deserves it.

This is basically what I came here to say, though you did it better than I ever could.

I also second Andrew Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy; ignorance and an audience is all you need to seriously damage the world. Good job, you two.

I guess I'll go with Bill O'Reilly. Pie in the face, laced with laxative.
