When I am an Evil Overlord, my execution chamber will include a variety of elaborate Rube Goldberg devices, use of which will entail a lengthy delay between the time the switch is thrown and the eventual horrible death; this will build up suspense and terror, while at the same time providing a sufficiently clever and enterprising victim with the chance to devise an escape. Needless to say, none of these devices will ever be employed to execute any prisoner I sincerely want dead; those get a pistol bullet to the brain. The Rube Goldberg devices will be employed on condemned-but-unimportant criminals in my realm-wide reality TV show, “Who Wants to Live?” It’s always a good idea to give your subjects Bread and Circuses. (Surviving guests will be offered recruitment into the Assassination Regiment of my Legions of Terror, or a pistol bullet to the brain.)
The blood mopper is not needed. After a few dozen executions, the hill builds up a nice blood patina that gives it a character that the gamblers will certainly appreciate. A clean sterile hill will never be a good draw for the crowds.
OTOH, if you never clean the blood, there may end up being dried blood troughs which will steer the rolling heads down to a particular hole. That will screw up the gambling element.
Maybe there’s a middle route. I’m picturing an over-sized pachinko machine for heads. You don’t necessarily have to play head-pachingko at the time of the executions, and in fact you can re-use the heads in future games.
If I get to Hell before you guys, I’ll ask about saving you a place.
Get enough and it can be a slip-and-slide for the kiddies!
An article referenced in that link: 39 percent of people who think Benghazi is the biggest scandal ever don’t even know where it is
I guess I’m a little surprised they don’t think it’s about a guy named “Ben Ghazi”.
That poll is a year old, so there might be another 2% or so who’ve figured it out by now. 
It’s a shame Ben Gazzara didn’t live long enough to capitalize on his notoriety.
And, just in case there was any danger of the new round of hearings being taken seriously, Trey Gowdy will chair them.
Ah! Finally a Benghazi scandal with legs! Lindsey Graham Gave Advice and Counsel to Lara Logan on her Debunked 60 Minutes Benghazi Report.
That’s just wrong.
Kids shouldn’t be involved in gambling.
Not directly, but it would be harmless to have a spelling bee or something and the winner gets to pull the guillotine-trigger.
FOX has said they will not cover any White House press conferences unless Benghazi is covered.
Tucker Carlson: Women who pay for dinner for men are disgusting.
Also, Bear Grylls needs to stop talking about men being manly after he named his sons Marmaduke and Huckleberry.
I disagree right back. Forget about the food element. It’s the wildness of the lions that would bother zookeepers. A lion that has killed a person will be more willing to do so again. Some part of the keepers’ safety, no doubt, involves the lions not thinking of their keepers as food on the hoof.
Lion Chow? They get big chunks of horse meat. (I used to work at a zoo.)
I thought Lion Chow was a funny. I laughed…
Roman hipsters who were Christian before it went mainstream.
Lion Chou would be a great name for an MMA fighter.
