Okay, first of all,
I know I'm not the only one who read that and started trying to figure out how to build it....
Second - Please consider the following points:
- The original poster meant no offense to anyone, and this was fairly clear in his post.
- Halloween touches many potentially offensive subjects, including murder, torture, abuse, and perversions. Luckily, most of what we deal with (vampires, mummies, zombies, for example) have a nice layer of fantasy surrounding them that insulates us from the incomprehensible terror and evil that we would feel if they were real. "Lynching", however, does not benefit from the protection of fantasy any more than does rape, or child abuse, or concentration camps. We can look at a killer clown with a chainsaw and not think twice, because we know such things do not exist. But when the line gets crossed between fantasy and reality, you can expect people are going to have a more emotional reponse. We should all be mindful of that.
- We are all good people (mostly) talking about bad things. Stuff like this is going to happen inevitably. Hopefully when it does, we can give each other the benefit of the doubt and not let it turn personal.
Third - I for one, would be interested in seeing more information about how to make the joints the original poster asked about.
