I do not believe in tar and feathering.
Syrup works just as well to stick feathers on and it has the additional benefit of attracting annoying insects.

That is all.

subtully,
Bright

1. Tar and feathering was frequently fatal, always painful.
The tar had to be heated to make it run over the person, thereby causing third-degree burns over much of the body.

2. Yeah but the black tar on Boners orange tan
would be so festive and cheerful. Kind of Holloweeney.

6. I'm thinking red and orange just don't look that
good together.

7. How do you know Boehner's blood is red?
That his skin is orange and that he clearly has no clue about what it is like to be a human being should be indicative that he is from another planet. What amkes you think his blood contains iron-based hemoglobin?

9. The guillotine is red, his face is weepy orange.
Like you I'm not sure what his blood is like. Green blood and it could be Christmasy Of course the guillotine could be painted a different color,a nice brown, or black. That would just make a more pleasant picture.

8. I've got some extra Mrs. Butterworth's but honey might attract even
more insects.

10. Yeah, but candle wax and ice cubes can be fun.
