Welcome to......
Kill This Thread XXIII !!!
The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.
Here's a history of our various felons, along with a few missed opportunities.....

Susan Lucci doesn't post much these days.

Gil Kane is one of my artistic heroes. I feel blessed that I got to meet him in person while he was alive.

I think meeting people when they are alive is mostly better than meeting them when they're dead. It's less their personalities and more about the spikes on top of the cemettary fences.

I was worried about falling onto the spikes in front of my property. I found that placing heads on them prevented injury to myself.
I find that by curing the heads for different lengths of time means that you get a different sound effect if you tap them. Once I've finished tuning the heads, I'll be looking to record the first album.
That's about it for Cap's Hobby Hints this week. Tune in next week when we discuss getting better graded comics through blackmail!

Well, I'm sure your album will be better than anything ever recorded by Talking Heads.

Guillotine sounds more like the name of a French dessert than a big falling blade that chops off people's heads.

The Guillotine was originally named the Louisette after its actual inventor, Antoine Louis. Joseph-Ignace Guillotine was instrumental in promoting its use, and it came to bear his name, much to his chagrin, as he actually opposed the death penalty.

Baby steps. He thought the guillotine was a nice first step to abolishing the death penalty; at least make the execution painless and less of a spectacle.
Alors, quel dommage.

The last time a guillotine was used in a public execution was September 10, 1977.
For perspective, the original Star Wars premiered May 25,1977.

For perspective, the original Star Wars premiered May 25,1977. In October 1977, the French moved across to choking condemned criminals using the power of La Force.
