Tarring and Feathering
Yesterday I seeded an article about Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House saying that Gavin Newsom should be tarred and feathered. It was a joke, I'm sure but that's not the point. After going to Wikipedia and searching for tarring and feathering I found out that a certain person was right about it being a form of public humiliation. I honestly thought it could lead to death. But Wiki stated that no deaths have ever been recorded for the practice.
Here is the link to that Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarring_and_feathering
Tarring and feathering is a form of public torture where a victim is stripped naked, or stripped to the waist, while wood tar (sometimes hot) is either poured or painted onto the person. The victim then either has feathers thrown on them or is rolled around on a pile of feathers so that they stick to the tar.
Used to enforce unofficial justice or revenge, it was used in medieval Europe and its colonies in the early modern period , as well as the early American frontier , mostly as a form of vigilante justice .
Here is a photo of man who tarred and feathered: (from the same article)
I read the article extensively and did not see any deaths contributed to T &F. That's because they used pine tar which can be heated but not to the point of leaving 3rd degree burns. If asphalt is used then yes, a person could easily die. But that kind of tar was not available back when the practice was common.
So my point to this exercise in futility is to say...I WAS WRONG AND OTHERS WERE RIGHT. That's why I deleted my article. I suffered self-humiliation.
Thanks for reading

So if you want to tar and feather me and run me out of town on a rail I'm prepared. But first you should have some of the delicious deviled eggs I made the other night
bfd. you're apologizing for a little mistaken statement? have you ever read the maga propaganda article posted on NT almost daily
Yes, I have. But that doesn't mean I should let my mistakes and errors go unanswered. I'm not like he who must not be named
maybe you should write a meta article denying all responsibility and blaming somebody else ...

derp.
Really would like to know what you deleted below. Didn't expect any of them to show up on this article
I can't remember, but if the reason wasn't accurate it would have been reinstated due to excessive whining ...
soooo....same shit different day
there's zero creative emissions from the large noise box mounted under the small bullshit reservoir ...
How about keel hauling? I've always thought that sounded particularly nasty.
Anyway I never even saw the original article so no big deal
I think keel hauling will lead to death. I'm not sure what it is exactly but it involves dragging someone under the ship?
it will if you slice a few arteries and do it in shark infested water ...
Yes under the keel of the ship (front to back). I suppose death would depend on how long one could hold their breath or
how slow they dragged you
Lol if ya slice a few arteries ya won't last long enough to worry about sharks
making the keel hauling rope easier to pull ...
now be a good NT participant and vote this article up ...
ty
The barnacles slice and dice the victim into quick exsanguination or drowning.
... you seem a bit too well informed on this particular topic.
Wow ya learn something new everyday
Morning...nah forget the old time stuff ... Tar and feather, keel hauling...have to move with the times...
Can't beat croc bait..clean and green...no mess no bother no evidence...
It works for us..
the oz version of water skiing. drag some dag across the billabong with a rope while the crocs converge behind.
You said that so well..🐊
I bet you could get a few geezus impersonations sprinting across the surface that way ...
I think he might be a sailor
either way you're not going home
fish food ...
did they have nail polish remover back then?
they probably had acetone that's all nail polish remover is
I figured it would some kind of toxic solvent ...
Pine Tar? I think it will come off with murphy's oil soap. Any type of plant based oil followed by soap and water. Isopropyl alcohol will do, but it is going to dry out the skin.....
When i drove truck for construction , and hauled asphalt , i kept a spray bottle of diesel so i could spray the latches of the end gate to clean them off so they would latch and clean off the build up on the beavertail. , cuts the tar well and cleans up any tools used as well.
just about any petroleum based liquid will cut tar, gas , kerosene , diesel.
As a child, I swore by Pine-Sol .
The only problem with using fuel is the state gets stringent and wants to know just how the diesel fuel was disposed of.
true , i have been using kerosene and old diesel as a parts cleaner for years now especially on really greasy or dirty parts . i know people that use the dirty stuff in their used oil burners as shop heaters , i also live in a place where burn barrels are still the norm and allowed .
Just because you didn't read about something happening back in the 1800s doesn't mean it didn't happen.
When things go to far the people involved usually cover it up. The way I see it is nobody gets Tarred and feathered without putting up a fight which means they probably end up brutally beaten. On top of that since it's a form of vigilantism you know the people doing it are among the most volent people in town who aren't looking to administer a punishment justly, they're there to settle a grudge. The fact is the people doing the Tarring and feathering probably wanted to hang the person, but the rest of the townsfolk said no that's too much just Tar and feather him but the people actually doing the Tarring and feathering wanted him Dead.
I can think of a few who deserve tar and feathering. Can also think of a few who should be "ridden out of town on a rail". Sometimes the old ways seem appropriate.
I wouldnt give these clowns the satisfaction.
A fine example of a person graciously accepting correction of a mistake.
Well done. Trout.
I wonder if deviled eggs would be ok in the mail?
thank-you
Mailed Deviled Eggs? This time of year?!?!
Maybe not. Might lead to a new TP shortage.
meh, just put them in a ziplock ...
Ya know, on that subject, I totally understood the whole TP scare; I mean, covid, no TP, who wants to die with a dirty ass?
no problem.

use 4th class mail and mar-a-lardo as the return address ...
oh my
Has the price of eggs come down enough to waste them like that?
yeah ...
instead mail one of those wind up alarm clocks, one that ticks real loud. make sure you wipe everything down first and wear latex gloves when you prepare it for mailing, remember not to lick the stamps ...
good enough for the primary recipient ...
Proof of grownups on the forum?
Interesting concept...
I had another thought today and it was brilliant.
I'll be the judge of that ...
It's gone now anyway.
Brilliant thoughts come with an innate offramp named Apology Lane that should be taken before needing to u-turn into oncoming traffic. Well navigated Trout.
thank-you
Another random thought.
I bought some bread yesterday and left it in the car on a hot day. Today I had a sandwich with that bread and I think it got toasted. Could it get hot enough in a car on a bright, sunny day where the ambient air temp is 91 degrees to toast bread?
The Maillard reaction, which is necessary for toasting bread, begins at 140°C (284°F). To achieve a desirable level of browning and crispness
I'm guessing the bread actually got a little stale but not toasted
I think you're right. It's expensive bread, too. But at least it will be ok toasted
french toast ...
marble rye?
... why not?
too savory for a sweet breakfast. I like cinnamon raisin for French toast
take a walk on the wild side once in awhile ...
I really do like that song it cracks me up
an iconic riff and rock anthem ...
Morning... just as well you didn't have eggs in the car...they could have been fried as well....
Tad warm when you can fry an egg just from the sun..no fire required here at times...
We just came off of one of those heat waves here in Virginia. Way too early in the summer for it to be so hot. Temps in the 90s with heat index over a hundred most of last week.
supposedly hail and tornadoes will be threatening here ...
Stay safe!
We just had a few good thunderstorms a few hours ago, but I think most of it has passed by. Until tomorrow, when we expect more.
twisters show up a little east of where I'm at, but this close to the foothills, I'm at ground zero for hail ...
I don't want my lexus dented with pock marks ...
Tar and feather is a form of torture, so Mike Johnson was calling for Newsom to be tortured.
I repeat what I said about this yesterday, can we get Mike Johnson waterboarded?
Good point!
Yeah...that won't kill mim
I just remembered my brilliant idea.
Ram Lambs
People with Jeeps have peeps on their dashboards why not lambs for Ram trucks?
every maga that read that just got a boner ...
Random thought.....
(Since it seems the 'catch of the day'....)
Can orphans eat in a family restaurant?
sorry, it's either the drive up window or sharing a table by the kitchen door with the single waiter/waitress during break. it's the blue plate special and you need to chew fast.
LOL, that's a head scratcher for sure
No, they can only work for food scraps they have to eat in the alley behind the restaurant.
maga!
