#1 Well it is about allah damned time! He should have his balls cut off and fed back to him raw, wrapped in bacon. It should be done on closed circuit pay per view, with all of the proceeds being used to finance our defensive war against the ‘slim ummah.

#3 What nonsense.

He'll get a fair trial and a first-class hanging. We'll even spring for a new rope...

For a second there, I thought you were saying use a bungee cord.

Wait, that's not such a bad idea . . . .

#6 I love that picture. Mainly because the first instinct is "what a great Photoshop job!" and the second is "oh my God! All they added is the hat!"

What a pity it's not one of the old Long John Silver's paper pirate hats.

#9 Back in the day when hanging was de rigour at San Quentin, they would select a few ropes, carefully measure and cut them to size for the intended end user, and then attach to each a stone weight equal to the heft of the condemned. They would tag them with the recipient’s name/number and leave them hanging for months until all the stretch was taken out of them. On the day before the blessed event the best of the lot was selected and tied to the gallows. If it had been cut too long, the ill-fated fellow would merely bounce off the floor – causing sheepish grins and consternation all around. If too short, the body could not attain the velocity necessary in order to produce a satisfying snap, thus breaking the neck for a nearly instantaneous death, rather than the slower, more gruesome strangling a non-snapping event produces. (See above: sheepish grins and consternation.) A rope with the stretch left in will give that unintended bungee cord effect and not allow for the snapping thingy. (See above: slower, more gruesome strangling.)

So clearly no one would want to use a new rope. Except for mojo. And Mike. And the rest of us.

#11 Tobacconist-
Good detail! And if you happen to get hung in Iran, like a mouthy 16 yo girl, they just hoist you up by the rope and let you kick and strangle for minutes on end. Allah sure is merciful. BTW- I would not object to Cap'n Hook getting offed that way.

#12 A-6182,

Someday I may be hanged In Iran but, alas, I shall never be hung.
