And I’ve found that coating the inside of light bulb sockets with catsup (ketchup?) makes the bulbs last 10X longer! /s ---

So rather than a merciful death, you wish for an interminable, agonizing Hell instead? Clearly your mercy is boundless. 😆 ---

[Prince Humperdinck](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001697/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): First things first, to the death. [Westley](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000144/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): No. To the pain. [Prince Humperdinck](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001697/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): I don’t think I’m quite familiar with that phrase. [Westley](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000144/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): I’ll explain and I’ll use small words so that you’ll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon. [Prince Humperdinck](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001697/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me. [Westley](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000144/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): It won’t be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose. [Prince Humperdinck](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001697/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don’t mean to duplicate tonight. [Westley](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000144/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): I wasn’t finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right. [Prince Humperdinck](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001697/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): And then my ears, I understand let’s get on with it. [Westley](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000144/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): WRONG. Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what “to the pain means.” It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever. ---

These stupid mf’s have now lost Kenney, the most right wing premier in the country. The politicians can sense a toxic waste dump when they see it. Associating with Swastika and confederate flags, trump signs and alt right lunatics is apparently not a good look for any politician. ---

Indeed I did. Hard to win an election here with 5% or less of the voters. We generally don’t think ANY nazis are “very good people “ As I said in a Facebook post: if you are in a protest and the swastika flags break out…. And you stay…… congratulations. You’re a Nazi. ---
