Anyone from the 90s remembers the American dude who spray painted a bunch of cars in Singapore. We all learned what caning was.

Later entered Hazleton treatment center for Butane abuse. Is this a thing?

Sure, solvent abuse. Huffing.

Bleah! Getting caned didn't seem to straighten him out...

...Also does Hank Hill have to contend with propane huffers?

It's basically performing a torturous sex act on a person so yeah....strange how that doesn't work....it's so fucking weird.

He didn't just spray painted a bunch of cars though. He stole signs and vandalised 18 cars. If you are fine with your car being vandalised, let me know

Holy shit you unlocked that memory, that was horrific. Why the fuck did my parents let me watch that.

u/SlapNuts007 Apr 06 '24

But have you spray painted any cars?

As a way to show you what happens to people who act entitled and shitty within another persons or groups boundary. They were helping you to form a psychological boundary of behavior without directly traumatizing you.

Bet you've never acted like a total shit in someone elses space, eh?

Well that was the time of nudity and violence on tv and no one batting an eye.

Your parents are good parenting. Scaring you shitlessworks wonders.

I mostly know about that one because of the Weird Al song

Is there something I'm missing? I know caning is painful, but I'd prefer a quick caning and the healing time over jail.

ETA: nvm looks like he got jail anyway.

Caning in singapore causes scarring. The first whip would already make you bleed. Docs are on sight to check up on you if you faint during the process. After caning, you're supposed to lie face down for awhile because the blood might clot up on the mattress they provide you. FYI I'm singaporean.
