You Dubs want everything interesting held in Dublin. Why not have the crucifixions somewhere like Portlaoise or Athlone, so we can all go along and have a look. Or take a leaf out of the Romans' book and put them up one every mile along the N7. Typical. You Dubs want everything interesting held in Dublin.

Sounds appealing, but, fuck, careful what you wish for. You risk creating a whole new religion, with a banker as the Son of God. Hang ‘em by the wrists in Phoenix Park?

Stab, stab. Wipe, wipe. Ready for another stabbin'. Not a bother. Guns are expensive, and require purchase of bullets, which are expensive, and difficult to procure. Probably they also necessitate some sort of 'gun maintenance', mechanical objects usually do. Knives are cheap. When/if the economy picks up, we will likely see a decrease in knife crime as purchasing power extends to other weapons. Perhaps it’s because we’re in a recession, and a knife is reusable.

Only one winner and she gets to live. People would pay rock concert prices to see the spectical. It'll pay off the national debt.

I'd like to volunteer my services as a latter day Livia, Queen of the poisoners,and Leinster House are always looking for kitchen staff, I hear.
