Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Actually I’m hoping this thread gets moved to the Pit so we can all express our true feelings… ---

Bosda baby, your sig is really good here ! As for Idi Amin I have nothing to say that wouldn’t get me in trouble with UncleBeer and Co. so I’ll wait to see if this gets moved to the pit. ---

I think you guys miss the point of the pit, it’s for flaming each other. AFAIK it isn’t against the rules to say that Idi Amin was a blackhearted, goat felching, murdering excuse for a human who deserves to be raped by demons in hell for eternity here in MPSIMS, unless someone come in with a contrary position and an arguement ensues. THEN it’s pit material. ---

No **Dave** , if excessive language is going to be used, we prefer people post in the Pit rather than MPSIMS as well. OK, off we go then. Down the Pits of Hell, not unlike a certain ex-dictator. ---

Ahhh, much better. Let’s see how creative we can get. I’m thinking of him being given the death of a thousand paper cuts and then (while still alive) being (not so) gently roasted over an open flame until he’s ready for a few hundred rabid rats to begin gnawing the cooked flesh from his bones. This is, of course, after his victims have scraped the skin from his body with jagged salt encrusted seashells. A quick dip in battery acid and rinse in a solution of lye should make him ready him for the rotisserie. Let’s not forget, perhaps, a high colonic of freshly broken glass shards and hot sand. This would best clear the way in preparation for the aptly inserted roasting spit. Not-so-lovingly applied by Vlad the Impaler’s least skilled henchman (of course). ---

ya just KNOW (or at least hope with malignant fervor) that Beelzebub, Ghede, Moloch, ol’ Mr. Scratch… or whatever you want to call him has got special plans for THIS sick fuck. read [this story in the Telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/06/02/wamin02.xml) for a little background… nothing he could suffer would repay what he has done. roast, Idi. You earned it. ---

May he be forever waited on hand and foot by Mary Kate and Ashley Olson, and that evil little Welches grape juice girl. Be forced to watch Barney and Friends, Teletubbies and Pokemon while being rubed down with a lemonjuice and sea-salt rub by Edward Scissor Hands. Feeling particularly evil today are we? Oh yesss! 😃 ---

A geuinely insane mass murdering fuck-head. But you have to admire his plan for retaking the Golan Heights with the elite Ugandan Paratroop Regiment. ---

It’s not often that hearing of a political leaders’ death brings a smile to my face. Amin’s had me howling with uncontrollable laughter last night. So long fucker. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-long-idi-amin/195553.md?page=2)
