    Okay, but what if my self-esteem is predicated on the knowledge that I could kill anyone at a moment’s notice.

    Surely that suppressed libidinal desire to inflict unimaginable pain and suffering on everyone around me is worth something.

      You’ve got a good point there… Have you ever considered using your car as a weapon against bicyclists who have indirectly offended you?

      It’s incredible that we feel the need to make up monsters for our movies and ghost stories when we’ve got prime examples living amongst us.

        Realistic movies scare the shit out of me. Prisoners, Blue Ruin, The Tall Man. True psychos are way scarier than any fucking ghost or demon.

        A bicyclist’s very existence is offensive. But I consider the .50 mounted on the back of the pickup a more sporting way to handle things. Alternatively, mini-gun mounted from a helicopter, and if anyone asks I’ll just say I was hunting wild hogs.
