Name a suitable punishment for stealing my Sunday paper
This morning for about the fourth time this year some brainless, lazy, shithole, fuckwitted scab-turd stole an integral part of my Sunday morning ritual, my newspaper. :grr:

The delivery guy was great, and brought me a new one. He stocks extras on Sundays just for that reason.

If I could catch the sonofacrumbsucker who stole my paper just ONCE, name your preferred method of revenge that I should try.

1. Given the general state of the media today...
... and perhaps depending upon your local paper, perhaps the perpetrator should be forced to read the whole thing, rather than just the sports section....

4. this isn't so bad for a local paper
They ran anti-Reagan cartoon yesterday, suggesting that if he gets on the $10 bill, it should be printed in red ink.

Then they printed an op-ed from a GWU professor who defended Alexander Hamilton and said it was much too hasty to put Reagan on any currency.

Thet have a good balance of letters too, with the wingnuts getting representation from the same 3 or 4 losers every week. Love watching them get shot down the next day or two.

23. decoupage them using the stolen paper
Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 05:50 PM by Solly Mack
"Decoupage can be as expensive or inexpensive a hobby as you wish. Certainly the tools required are -few—scissors, X-Acto knives, razor blades, pencils, paste, glue, varnish, turpentine, lacquer, thinner, oil paints, brushes, sandpaper, and a sheet of glass are about all that are -required, together with the decoupage materials themselves. Either way, no hobby will bring as many hours of pleasure or more compliments on your finished work as this old-time art."

28. I know exactly how you feel, as I have
had the same experience. I woke up at 5am to catch the sob, and still the sob denied it. So my preferred method of revenge is a mouse trap to snap that sucker's finger off.

31. Bait a trap.
Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 06:07 PM by SOteric
Rise abnormally early and coat the front and back section pages of your newspaper with cayenne or white pepper.

Then place it back in it's orginal position on the stoop. At some point in the early morning shrieking and shouting and jumping up and down will come from the vicinity of the bathroom in the home of one of your neighbours. This will be the culprit. You will smile and know they've been punished.

32. Tie him to a timebomb
with enough arm movement to type characters on a keyboard. Give him the Sunday paper and tell him the password to disarm the bomb is the 3rd word of the 8th line of the 1st column of page 4 of the sports section. Of course, page 4 of the sports sections is missing.

Whether the bomb is a dud, or real, I leave to your discretion.

34. Well...if you really want to get cruel...
go out and buy about 10 grams of silver nitrate powder. I'd suggest USP grade, since that's cheaper than reagent grade.

Get a fake paper and put it out early - say, around 3 AM. Then dust the paper with a little silver nitrate powder.

The silver nitrate powder will adhere to the skin. Exposure to light causes it to turn black. No, it can't be washed off - it must wear off. Some users experience a slight burning sensation.

Yes, I've done it. The statute of limitations has expired. :evilgrin:

36. Force him/her to read the Parade Magazine, out loud,
word for word, with no coffee ahead of time. That's cruel and unusual!

38. that's generally true
But today's issue had 2 redeeming features... one on the current state of unmanned space exploration (of which I am a big supporter - Parade has always championed this, and used to have the late Carl Sagan as their science editor), and an interview with Keira Knightley.

Otherwise, a waste of paper, I would agree.
