Is this stupidest question you’ve ever heard? They say the poor bloke they’re trying to help had electrodes attached to his nurries. Is this the sort of ice-breaker they use around the Amnesty water-cooler? “Is waterboarding worse with Perrier?” 
Speaking of torture and Nurries, there was more superlative cutting and pasting in Teh West yesterday. “The unreadable in full pursuit of the unfathomable,” as Kim Wilde sang at the Maylands Tavern all those years ago. 
I may not be able to moderate comments today, as I’ll be at several Dr Who events at Luna Leederville. It was spruiked on Perth Truth Seekers: “First chance to see new Dr in Action! Meant to be the last one I think..bringing back old fashioned values..no flirting with the girls!” In the discussion there was this insight: “The JFK thing was more to do with him bringing back currency issued by the US treasury instead of by the Federal reserve.JFK was shot in a ford Lincoln, Lincoln was shot in Fords theatre.All pre-planned.”
The Worst of Perth 
That’s why President Ford only ever flew through La Guardian or Newark.

No longer applicable – he/she/it would need to be rather Valiant.

Thanks for the heads-up. I guess Leederville is out of the question this arvo and the fixie stays in the shed.

The original Oscar Wilde quote was, of course; “(English Fox hunters) are the unspeakable, in pursuit of the uneatable”.
He should have used “inedible” of course, for correct grammar, but he just had to give the pedants something to do.

What kind of torture are we speaking of here?
What is said by the torture victim, is much different, according to the type of torture being used.
(Being burnt at the stake): “For fucks sake, do something about reducing the level of smoke, will you!!?? The Fire Brigade will be here any minute”.
(Waterboarding): Guuuurrrgh!! arrrggggh!! guurrrrggh!! garrggh!!
(Crucifixion): Could you fetch me a drink with a wet sponge on a stick, mate? This is thirsty work!”.
(Listening to country music on ABC Radio): “Oh GOD, NO-O-O-O!!! PLEASE STOP IT!! PLEASE, STOP IT!! (screams) ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!! NO-O-O-O-O!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!! (sounds of crying and sobbing) NO-O-O-O-O!!!! PLEASE!! TURN IT OFF, AND I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING!!!

Stephen Pass must hold the record for the largest amount of truth ever found in a Parliamentary Committee submission.
I’ve been abused with the vilest language from one of these so-called “sporting shooters” on the Blokey Shed forum, merely because I had the temerity to suggest that allowing a heap of “social shooters” into a Victorian NP en masse to carry out feral culls was sheer idiocy – given the generally poor level of firearms training and ability of the average civilian firearms owner.
And of course, no-one has even mentioned anything about breath-testing these “social shooters” before they let them loose to nail anything that pops its head up.
I’ve witnessed one of these SS’s (an Italian) blasting a swan out of the air during duck season, screaming, “I gotta da King Duck, I gotta da King Duck!!”
The basic problem is that the SSAA takes its cue from, and thinks its the legally-sanctioned Australian arm of, the NRA.
These people also believe the 2nd Amendment was accidentally left out of the Australian Constitution, and it needs to be re-inserted.
(juantrak – Vietnam Vet with some familiarity with heavy weaponry, and a long-time civilian firearms owner, now reformed).
