Alas, the Double Down stopped being served at KFC before I could shove one in my face.

I do believe that is currently back for a limited time.

Shit, it ends after tomorrow. I should get one.

Oh god... That reminds me of something I heard on tumblr the other day.

Eh, Swicked stuff. I mean there's an LSP there but you probably don't care what it's crossed over with.

I got one last week. The first few bites were pure bliss, then by the end of it your tastebud's reaction is overridden by your gut screaming profanities at you about what you want it to digest.

One of the reasons why I keep watching Supernatural (spoiler-free):

And no, Last. It was a joke about the murder of defenceless young women. Way to make it weird, guy.

Ah, good. Normal blood I can appreciate. The smell, the taste, all of it. Period blood is a special kind of horrible, reeking fluid. I can hardly imagine someone with a strong-enough stomach to handle that.

I avoid the lower abdomen in general, considering if you fuck with the bowels too much, they'll get punctured and start leaking literal shit. Plus the whole deal with the void-bowels-upon-death thing. That's just nasty. Being a dumbass corpse 'n shit is no excuse to be rude.

Whatever happened to efficiency?

If you want a fucker dead then the most certain way to do it is either slashing their throat, thereby severing the jugular, or by stabbing them just to the left or right of the groin.

The latter is less assured because there's a chance you'll miss the femoral artery, but supposedly there are four things on this planet that can stop if from spraying blood everywhere. 1, a trauma surgeon. 2, a military medic. 3, massive cauterization. And 4, quick clot. Other than that your victim will be unconscious in 30 seconds and dead in roughly three minutes.

Throat on the other hand is almost an assured death as long as you don't pussy out. And good luck putting a tourniquet on someones neck.

Clearly you've never been to Infantry training. You can solve everything with tourniquets. 

Sore throat? Boom. Tourniquet. Done. 
Broken arm? Boom. Tourniquet. Done. 
Cancer? Boom. Tourniquet. Done. 

Plus, if you're going for quickness, then targeting the spine near the base of the skull is far more instantaneous than trying to attack an artery

Well obviously, but it's so much harder (if not impossible) to watch the life drain out of their eyes when you do it like that. Cutting an artery is more of a spectacle, and you can watch as they reconsider their life choices or flail in agony. Playing around in someone's guts is just screwing around, and people have survived worse.

Besides, if you're going for spectacle, you could just stab under or between the ribs and puncture the lungs. They're left writhing and choking on their blood, and nothing shirt of high-level and immediate care has a chance of saving them.

But you have to think of the spectacle of not just the death itself, but what the investigating officers are gonna find. Sure if you go the 'strewn guts' route you get the biggest spectacle, but it takes far to much time and you risk getting covered in shit. If you stab them in the brain stem or the lung all you've got is a corpse and a bit of blood. But if you take a carving knife to their throat you've got gallons of blood not just on the floor, but on the walls and ceiling, not to mention how gruesome a sawn open neck can be.

While it's certainly not the fastest way to end a life throat cutting/artery severing balances both the speed factor and the gruesome spectacle factor.

[Frost]

Although the probable top dog among both quickness of death and spectacle is taking a tent spike, ice pick, or even a strong knife (like a modern bayonet or a Really tough knife that can punch through steel), and give a good, form stab down through the crown of the skull into the brain. If you're quick enough, you'll probably force the eyes out of their sockets with the tissue displacement, as well as sending blood rushing out the eardrums, mouth and nose before you wrench the tool free, sending chunks of bone and brain er'rywhere

I'm disappointed in you Frost. You've forgotten the death bringer to end all death bringers.

[Frost]

Uhh....guns?

[Tytan]

Sorry for the shitty quality:

[Frost]

Oh, I was under the impression that this was a debate for one-handed knifelike tools, primarily. I'd rather have a tomahawk or a fuckin' gun, given the choice.

[Tytan]

I can see that, but can you imagine how confused/disgusted the police would be if you made a matching set of salad and soup bowls out of the tops of your victims skulls??

[Frost]

Or just make a small spaghetti strainer out of pried-out ribs?

[Tytan]

If you're gonna do that you might as well go the extra mile and go all native americans and the buffalo on them.

[RoboRed]

Making bowstrings from their tendons and coin purses from their scrotums?

[Tytan]

Don't forget the decorative silverware with flange handles and the hip bone menorah for your local jewish family.

I had the weirdest dream:

[Scyto Harmony]

Well, I'm back.

I was scrolling through the XBLA when I found a neat game called Super time force. It's got some cool time based mechanics.

You start off with three characters (You can unlock 16) each has a unique ability that can be used by holding down the attack button, now if you are playing a specific character and they die you can rewind time and change characters or play the same one if you want.

Now the cool thing is that character you just died as will still be there and do the same things you did when you were playing them. (Think of the replay when you beat a level in super meat boy.) They will kill the same enemies break the same objects etc. The cool thing is if you manage to save them by killing the enemy that killed you before it can kill you you can collect the "dead" character gain an extra hit point and you can use their unique ability simultaneously with your own.

I was trained a quick stab and twist to a kidney was best.

That's still an assured kill, but it's not as quick as a spinal attack, leaves them able to fight back, and is more dependent on catching the victim by surprise (whereas, as Apache-style knife fighting teaches, you can attack the spine a variety of ways, even in combat)

@Scyto
Welcome home.

@California
Feminist reactions continue to make me glad I'm not one anymore. There's only one kind of feminist, after all (implying otherwise makes them upset), and that one kind is batshit. I'll be something else, thanks very much.

[Guest]

Well, I'm back.

Did ya go camping or something?

Moving, into a new apartment.
