Don't regret going to the party, John.

Only one party for the niece. Other weekends for the boat

I'd thought on the same lines. a pork sausage stuffing, and pig blood
enema. and If Nick Berg's dad would be willing, have had him stood by
with a dull hacksaw blade.....

I saw Nick Berg's dad interviewed on a couple of the news networks. He
claims he didn't want al-Zarqawi killed. He wanted to meet with him to see
if they could "work out" the differences between our cultures. He has also
decided to run for Congress

Strange guy.

I'd let them all think we stuffed a pork sausage up his ass and then took
his head off with a rusty knife.
In fact, he was alive long enough after we had him to do just that... pity
someone didn't.

He is an unusual fellow, but I guess he is entitled to feel that way.
Me, I would have shoved Zarquawi down a stair railing made of razor blades
into a vat of boiling sulphuric acid, just to scar him up and make the
rest of his life pleasant, especially when he moved.

My comment of him being a "strange guy" was more related to his decision to
run for Congress ... (oh, well..) But ... do you remember a movie made
years ago (I must have been in my teens when I saw it) in which there is a
scene with (apparently) Arab soldiers standing at attention and a gigatic,
curved blade about 30 feet high behind them? I think the blade was called
the "Iron Maiden". Maybe that was also the name of the movie. Anyway, to
prove their committment to a non-Arab visitor, the commander of the group of
soldiers walked down the ranks, stopped in front of one soldier and asked if
he believed in Allah. The soldier gulped, glanced at the Iron Maiden and
nodded his agreement. He was then led up a ladder to the top of the blade,
knelt down and fell forward, riding the blade edge to his death.

It still gives me the willeys when I think about it.

I remember that, too, and with the willies also. It was a very B grade yarn
called "The Tall Ships", starring Richard Widmark. The device was called
"the Mare of Steel".

That's it. Just goes to show how the memory plays tricks. I remembered it
as being a bunch of Arabs. Apparently the movie was about Vikings. 1963.
I must have been about 14 years old when I saw it. Still gives me the
willies.

Well, yes. The vikings were trying to capture the golden bell from the
arabs. some things never change.
