That should recruit that guy named Edward with the scissor-hands from that one movie. I forget the title.

What is it with Africa and all the politically motivated mass murder?

Good thing that have gun control, so nobody gets hurt!!

The citizens shouldn't have a hard time getting AK47s. That will teach the gangs a lesson.

But they're kenyans, right?

/So they can run away from the gangs.

Africa would be a nice place if it was'nt for the Africans.

Luckily Norway didn't have this happen, cause Kenya can just use their lions to deal with it.

 
TheDeathMerchant 2008-01-27 07:49:38 PM  
Makes sense really, as I understand They've got lions and tigers (new window)

Oh oh! I've always wanted to be a grammar Natzi. Problem is I suck at grammar.

Anyways, I think that should be: "wasn't". The apostrophe replaces the missing vowel.

Other than that, I find your comment amusing. Also, I agree.

Someone give the Africans a common enemy. Oh, wait.....

See, when people give me guff for not "killing and butchering my own meat" I think of this kind of stuff. People that are cool with killing and butchering their own meat don't need to step too far to take a big knife to people.


I think I'm fine with industrially-processed meat products, thanks.

submitter: ... they've got machete arms

This reminds me of that Adam Sandler bit on SNL, where he improvised Halloween costumes using only a pickle - "OOooo, look at me, I'm Mr. Pickle Arm! etc. etc."

God, I hate Adam Sandler, and that was his worst bit ever.

For making me think of that again, you can burn in Hell, submitter

If you have killed a man with a machete before the age of 8 I dub thee hardcore.

Actually, it should be "weren't". Subjunctive tense. Used following an "if".

It was so funny it almost made me run over to my neighboring village and chop off everybody's hands. Real quick.

Machetes and Knives/swords in general are wielded. Guns/projectile devices are usually implied when armed is used.
-1 on subby LSAT exam.

But back on topic. Who spins the wheel of excuses for this latest example of inhumanity being put on display by equatorial pupa people? Is Sally Struthers still in the game. Can we send her over the eat the bad ones?

My god, I'm sorry. Unintended consequences. I'll send you back some toasted marshmallows.

Well, when all you have is a machete, everything looks like a soft, supple limb waiting to be hacked off.

There are many places in the world I would love to see before I die.

But the idea of going to Africa always scares the shiat out of me.

Kenyans with huge knives

farking Tigers and Lions coming out of goddamned nowhere

Ebola

Lots of reasons to make sure Spain is above Zimbabwe on the "see before I die" list

 
Softens_hands_while_you_do_the_dishes 2008-01-27 09:00:46 PM  
Men who play with katana's should throw aspersions at the less well developed machete people :).They are learning. The ones that make the short really sharp ones will win out and they'll advance as a culture all the up to like AD or something.

And to think that, for a simple change in upbringing, Barack Obama would be running around hacking people's arms off rather than running for President of the United States...

Not so hot at spelling, either.

Sometimes, I think FARK.COM should be called SNARK.COM.

Really, poorweedcontrol, "America would be a nice place if it was'nt for Africans."

Are you refering to the Africans whose ancestors were brought here in chains, or to my Eritrean friends? Either, way your are an obnoxious boor, and you probably don't listen to jazz, nor R & B, nor Rock 'n Roll. And you don't follow professional sports, except hockey and, uh, hockey. And, you don't eat tacos, nor salsa and chips. And, if you have been anywhere outside of the U.S. you were likely packing an M-16 and saluting officers.

And, while I can vaguely detect the humor in Subby's headline, the actual horror of the article seems so tragic that I could hardly LOL. It took me almost 60 years, to get as cynical as I am, you people just seem heartless.

Snark on!

Funniest headline I've read in a long time... Actually can't remember the last one that made me laugh.

Thanks subby.
