Hey PK,
Just wanted to let you know I've devised 7 new ways I'd like to kill you. They include:
putting your dick in a toaster and then shooting you in the stomach
feeding you a swarm of live angry hornets via intrevenous
substituting your soy cheese with varsol
shooting you
introducing you to a community of gorrillas, then watching the silverback alpha male sytematically rape and dismember you.
knifing you
tying you up, and throwing you in a piano, but instead of hammers on the keys, there will be razors. I will then proceed to play some Rochmaninoff that I learned from your website.
shooting you
Enjoy!
