Random Thought #19
Great idea I overheard in the office here. I wish I had thought it up myself. Instead of using waterboarding at Guantanamo, why not use fire ants?
There’s not a lot of plausible deniability in waterboarding, but it is a lot more believable to think that some of the terrorists enemy detainees may have accidentally sat on a fire ant pile and got half the nest in their colon.

How about dangling bacon out of their reach ? Nothing I wouldn’t say to get bacon ….
October 10, 2011 at 10:15
Good thought. However some of the more observant Muslims might not go for the whole pork thing… even bacon.

I wonder if there are any of the “brain bugs” from “The Wrath Of Khan” still out there. After all, the parents were shown to live in buckets of sand, so anything’s possible, right? š
October 10, 2011 at 10:28
Hmm. Nice idea.
October 10, 2011 at 12:20
Can I be in charge of the ants?
October 10, 2011 at 13:22
Yes, you are the Ant Herder.

You mean make them listen to a syrupy boy band? Very effective, but against Geneva Convention protocols.
October 10, 2011 at 15:22
Syrupy Boy bands are against Geneva Convention Protocols? Really?? Yet the pop music stations still feel compelled to make innocent civilians endure Justin Bieber? What a backwards world we live in.
And I love the idea of fire ants. Add to that a whole truckload of Maine blackflies. Blackflies don’t bite, they suck.

There are probably a lot of ‘green’ solutions to information extraction.

I say we sit them in a room with my Italian mother and just before the door closes shout out that the detainees are Irish.
And for once I didn’t have to look up a word in your post. I already know what “plausible deniability” means. Only I learned it court.
October 10, 2011 at 16:23
What’s wrong with being Irish?
October 10, 2011 at 16:32
Being Irish makes someone like my father. And Satan, according to my mother.
October 10, 2011 at 16:36
I have no reply for this.
October 10, 2011 at 16:44
Well, you wouldn’t. She said it in Italian.
October 10, 2011 at 17:06
Hmm.
October 10, 2011 at 16:09
No, you just need John. They’ll be dead before the door has been closed for a minute. He’ll sex them to death. ;D
Nice mental pic, eh?
October 10, 2011 at 16:23
Eeew
October 10, 2011 at 16:32
Exactly. Savor, we need therapy now!
October 10, 2011 at 17:39
send me your credit card. I get paid by the hour to curtail my wiseass remarks.
October 10, 2011 at 17:43
Noooo, you just want my name and address, you sly bugger!
October 10, 2011 at 18:09
Wassamatta you, can’t take my chemically-supercharged romantic style? š
October 10, 2011 at 18:19
I’m pretty sure John E. is talking to you Brainrants. Don’t break the poor guys heart. Tell him last night was special for you too.
October 10, 2011 at 22:00
I thought he was talking about his Viagra.
October 10, 2011 at 19:15
Hey, ANY night with my big OD snuggle-bunny is special, right, ‘Rants? š
(There, THAT oughtta turn the front 10 rows into a splash zone!)
October 11, 2011 at 13:05
The mental picture of Ranter and John E. snuggling their woes away to their heart’s content is disturbing beyond words. I will die now. I can’t take the image anymore.
October 11, 2011 at 13:24
My work here is done! š
October 11, 2011 at 13:57
No, your work has just begun. Unleash the John!

Mosquitos. Those big ones from the swamps. Lots of them. No netting allowed. No calamine lotion. Rooms can be refreshed with new batches every night. If they behave, they get the ones without malaria. š
October 10, 2011 at 22:02
Again, a good ‘green’ solution…
October 11, 2011 at 06:33
I think we should use jack bauer. A lot of ppl don’t think he even exists so we could probably get away with it.
October 11, 2011 at 07:16
All I need is a tee shirt.
October 11, 2011 at 14:38
You a scary man BR.
October 11, 2011 at 15:11
I try.
October 13, 2011 at 15:32
Why not use Chuck Norris? Just the thought of having him in the same building would make anyone tell you whatever you want!!
October 13, 2011 at 15:49
Hmm…
