Ahh! You beat me to it!

Actually it's in the finest tradition of the American West. Wyatt Earp had alibi's for where he was at when one (or more) of Morgan's suspected killers turned up dead.

with the evident advantage that the mug held a large quantity of mead and could be easily replaced

Mmmmmm... Mead!

If I'm correct, the Israel took revenge on a former Nazi general in... Argentina, I think.

Mossad kidnapped the bastard out of his own apartment and home country, shoved him into an Israeli court, tried him, and hanged him.

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
Fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

Roland the Thompson gunner...

His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland the headless Thompson gunner (Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
Norway's bravest son But time stands still for Roland
'Til he evens up the score)
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Roland the headless Thompson gunner...

The eternal Thompson gunner, still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun
And bought it

He has hired George Lucas as an independent consultant.

I vote for beheading. And televise it.

Can't do that. It would be the only time the terrorists' heads get used in the right way.

[epow]

If (God forbid) I was ever looking for people to do a job like that I would try to contact some ex-Massad folks if possible. Those guys seemed to be very good at that sort of thing.

IIRC every last one of the terrorists who murdered the Israeli Olympic athletes back in the 1970s was tracked down and killed by the Massad. That's what I call Old Testament style eye-for-an-eye justice.

My kind of Swede....Skal!

Skal....The Scandinavian/Swedish drinking toast (skal) has a rather macabre background; it originally meant skull. The word has come down from a custom practiced by the warlike and terrorist Vikings who used the dried-out skulls of their enemies as drinking mugs, with the evident advantage that the mug held a large quantity of mead and could be easily replaced.


The Swedes have adopted that from the Danes, which are also Vikings and has ruled over the southern part of Sweden longer than they are now integrating with Sweden. In Danish "Skaal" means bowl. The Swedes use more the word "Pytz" when toasting, meaning a bucket full! The Swedish Snaps glasses are much larger than the Danish Snaps glasses and when they get really drunk their behavior are even worse than that of the Danes!

I never tip off my victims with bluster. Revenge is best when it's cold, when you can think clearly...

...and when its a surprise.

[danamco]

My, My, What would Frm. P.M. Olaf (Murdered) Palme, Say about this..."Tsk, Tsk.."



Or HIS mentor, Tage Erlander!?!

[tophat9000]

The Swedes have adopted that from the Danes

Yes I know I firs heard of the origin's of the "Skal" toast from my Danish girlfriend and her family many years ago

(a six foot tall blond super brickhouse Danish girlfriend... damm she was gorgeous;>

[E. Pluribus Unum]

maybe he oughta keep quiet

Why?

The Islamofascist girlie-men ain't gonna come and get him.

Bullies only feel safe in the company of other bullies.

Eat their livers. Then pack them in pork rinds.

I heard that their livers are good with fava beans and a nice chianti or amalone.
