#4 When guys like Hook Boy Emeritus make death threats, the only way to counter them is to hit them or their buds hard with extreme prejudice. They need a little fear of God, too.

#7 Be nice if they could find him hung in his cell. But it'd be tough to rule it a suicide since they took the hooks away. Not that that would bother me...

#8 TU, I don't know what a petard is but if he hasn't got one, issue him one and let him hoist away.

#9 ask and ye shall google:

A petard was a bell-shaped metal grenade typically filled with five or six pounds of gunpowder and set off by a fuse. Sappers dug a tunnel or covered trench up to a building and fixed the device to a door, barricade, drawbridge or the like to break it open. The bomb was held in place with a heavy beam called a madrier.

#10 Thank you Frank. I guess giving that giving Hook a gernade wouldn't be so smart, unless the pin was removed, of course.

You're link also provided the following: The name of the device came from the Latin petar, to break wind, perhaps a sarcastic comment about the thin noise of a muffled explosion at the far end of an excavation.

I think I can make use of that latin root for some nonsense, sometime or other.
