    Default Attack of the Old People

    http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/09/13/ha....ap/index.html

    EASTON, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A judge convicted a 73-year-old woman of first-degree murder Wednesday for killing her older neighbor with 37 claw hammer blows to the head and sentenced her to life in prison without parole.
    More old person violence in the news. Damn.

    WHOA, that's intense. Somehow, though, everytime I hear '37', I think of the movie Clerks.

    "Life in prison" doesn't have quite the same zing when you're 73.

    I've been saying Senior on Senior violence must be stopped for the good of the whole elderly community.

    *creepy movie announcer voice*
    In a world of sunday drivers, comes a new menace, a new threat...

    Grandma: "Oh dear, was that light red?"

    A band of heros must unite to save the world from a terror so great, that noone is safe.

    Grandma: "Deary me, I think it's rude to be going over 45kph on this road!"

    A story so horrible, it will shock you to know that it is based on real life events...

    Grandpa: "I'm not driving with my glasses today. I will be all right."

    Coming soon, Seniors On A Highway.

    Man: "I'm sick and tired of all these motherloving seniors on this motherloving highway!"

    You can't beat Monty Python's take on Hell's Grannies!

    Sadly not. I was probably at school at the time. However I do remember the Batley Towns Womens Guild re-enactment of the attack on Pearl Habor.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Sheriff McClelland: Well, there's no problem. If you have a gun, shoot 'em in the head. That's a sure way to kill 'em. If you don't, get yourself a club or a torch. Beat 'em or burn 'em. They go up pretty easy.

    Given what humans have done to one another over the years, why would the HC need to spoof it?

    Always liked the Piranha Brothers more anyway.
